Hello again!
Based on the reviews some of you gave out about the new idea I made on the separate explanations you are all happy about the threesome between Ash, Serena, and Ruri. I'm happy about it too because I get to do two of my favorite pairings at the same time and have Serena and Ruri share Ash as his girlfriends. Everyone wins!
In the previous chapter I said that I may not do Mega Evolution, but I forgot to mention what I would do with the Key Stone. Since I made the decision on not doing Mega Evolution I am making a different role for the Key Stone. What that role is will be revealed soon.
Now without further ado, let's get on with the chapter!
Chapter 16 (Sneak Preview)
The scenery is now set on an island that compose of a building the size of a castle or mansion with metal objects that seem to be floating in the air in a simple room with a bed and a desk. A flash of light appeared and took form of the same figure from before still holding the unconscious Serena over his shoulder. He then shifted to carry her bridal style before walking towards the bed. When he got near the bed he set the unconscious girl down on it with her head on the pillow.
"You're quite troublesome." The figure murmured running a couple fingers through her hair. "Consider yourself lucky I won't rat you out to the Professor. Too bad I can't say the same thing to that traitor Zane Truesdale." He smirked under his hood. "Because you played your part beautifully my pretty. You led me straight to your little boyfriend."
"That's right. I knew you only want to go back to the Standard Dimension just to see him. That's why I wanted to go with you. I let you get away in hopes you find him which you did and I'm very grateful for that." The figure explained before turning towards the door.
"The destruction of Satoshi will now begin." He added while chuckling sinisterly as he began to walk out of the room. When he was out one of the unconscious Serena's arms twitched as if she was about to wake.
As the figure was walking out he failed to notice a boy with short, thick, pink eyebrows and purple eyes and purple hair wearing an outfit that appears to be an officer's uniform consisting of a purple and light blue waistcoat, pink cravat, a two-part cape of red and purple that resembles Yuya Sakaki's coat, a purple abbreviated coat with thick cuffs and gold shoulder bands with an amber-colored setting, fastened at the collar bone, and light blue pants tucked into silver-tinted leather boots.
The most distinguishable thing about him is the fact that he has the same face as Yuya Sakaki and is currently smirking. "So, Aeron has decided to go rogue. And Zane Truesdale betrayed us. Well we can't have that now, can we?" The boy maliciously commented as he began to walk away from the room doorway before wiping the smirk off his face and made a serious face. "So the Shining Star is alive after all. The Professor needs to know about this."
Back in Maiami City we find Zane in an ally after teleporting away from the park obviously frustrated as he punched a wall gritting his teeth. "How could I let that happen?!" He was visibly shaken up after the event that took place in the park. "I was right there and I let that slip through my fingers. This is bad."
"What's going on?" A voice questioned getting Zane to turn his head to see a very familiar red and white Duel Runner with the rider walking towards him.
"Oh, it's you." Zane said fully turning towards the man. "It's been a while."
"What happened Zane?" The man questioned dismissing the greeting.
Zane sighed. "I met up with your son, Satoshi, and dueled him."
The man looked stunned. "You dueled my son?" Zane nodded in response to the man's question. "Did he beat you?"
"In a way you can imagine." Zane replied with a chuckle. "Like you do he had a back up plan to defeat me. He's becoming like you."
The man smiled at that. "He is my son after all." He then turned his serious face back on. "What happened that's so bad?"
Zane frowned and looked grim after he asked that. "Aeron slipped through my fingers and attacked him."
"Aeron?!" The man exclaimed with wide eyes. "He ambushed Satoshi and you just left him there?! How could you do that?!"
"I understand why you have to be mad. I don't blame you, but don't worry. I don't think Aeron will do anything worse than impaling him in the chest."
"Impaled?! That's not good."
Zane nodded agreeing with that statement. "If Leo Akaba finds out that Satoshi is alive he will send either them..." He hissed at the word 'them'. "Or Yuri to come here and capture him."
"And we can't let that happen." The man replied with a shake of his head and a sigh.
"And let's not forget that Aeron is also after him, but only wanting to kill him."
"And I don't want to lose him." The man added before looking towards Zane once again. "He's my everything now since I lost..." He nearly choked up struggling to finish the sentence as he was on the verge of tears. "Her." He finished clenching his fists tightly.
Zane felt sorry and was sympathetic towards the man. "That just proves that the Academy will do anything to get what they want, especially attacking the innocent."
The man managed to compose himself looking towards Zane. "Has Satoshi recovered his powers?"
Zane shook his head in response. "He's got some of them back. Just enough to beat me. He would still need his full potential to take on Duel Academy."
"You're saying that as he was a puppet!" The man shouted accusingly while glaring at the former Academy Duelist.
"You know that's not what I meant. I would never think of using anyone."
The man shook his head with a slight sigh to calm himself. "Sorry. I just can't lose Satoshi. He's my flesh and blood and I love him." He stuttered as a tear drop from his right eye.
"Yusei." Zane muttered with a stern face. "That's not going to happen. Not while I'm standing."
"Says that to the guy who left him while he is severely injured." The now identified Yusei Fudo countered with a glare.
"I wouldn't be any help for your son if Aeron sealed me into a card." Zane argued back keeping his cool.
"I guess you have a fair point." Yusei gave in admittedly.
"Just go back home Yusei. I will find your son and look after him. Besides, don't you have a couple of kids you're looking after yourself?"
"You're right." Yusei replied with a nod now having full faith that Zane can take care of his son. He then turned his back and walked toward his Duel Runner, the Yusei Go. After getting a helmet out from his seat and putting it over his head while hopping on, he began to rev up the runner and rode it as they both glowed and disappeared as the light died down leaving Zane to watch.
"Okay." Zane murmured turning towards a random direction that leads out of the alley. "Time to go find Satoshi."
That's it for the sneak peek. I will replace this when I really complete the chapter. I just want you all to know that I have never forgotten this story and the to tell that Guest that he got the wrong story to say "RIP".
I have a couple of reminders. One, I would still want to see one where Ash wields the Cyber Dragons and its Xyz forms and possibly get the Fusion ones as the story progresses. If any of you are already doing the first chapter let me know so I can tell you that I would be looking forward to it.
Second, there's still the opportunity of submitting your idea of a new Duel Disk for Ash since his previous one was smashed. I have my own idea and it's to look similar to Seto Kaiba's from the Dark Side of Dimensions movie. If you all can't think of anything then you can say that mine would be a good idea.
And third, I am planning to put another character from GX to this story, but he will be an antagonist and still sides with Duel Academy unlike Zane. I won't say who it is so that leaves all of you to guess until he makes an appearance.
