I don't own either Yu-Gi-Oh GX or Arc-V!

Posted 7/17/15: Holy crap everyone 0-0 19 reviews just from the first chapter! That's crazy! I didn't expect that much feedback but just wow, you guys blew my mind. Thank you all for the support! You all are just awesome! So after about a month, here's chapter two! Sorry, this took longer then I hoped for but for once it's not my fault! You can blame this one on my computer which has decided to turn into a slow piece of crap on me -_- So if there are any mistakes in this chapter that I missed, it was because I had to look through them really quickly just so my computer wouldn't freeze on me in the middle of it.

Anyway, with my computer problems off to the side, I'll let you guys know that Spiritshipping and Darkmoonshippping are pretty much tied in votes. Huh, that surprised me too. I didn't think Judai X Selena would be a thing but hey! As for Selfshipping, I already had a back up plan for that so no need to worry. Also, after this chapter, we're goign to start following the Arc-V story line and we're starting with one, if not my favorite episode on the show so far! I'm not going to say what it is but there are hints to what episode it's going to be. As for now, we're still at Academia and boy...well let's just say some people might want to kill me after this chapter so yeah...

But yeah, hope you guys enjoy this chapter like always!

...

3 Years Later...Present Day

"Neos, attack his Life Points directly with Wrath of Neos!" Fifteen-year-old Yuki Judai command right before his ace monster dealt the finishing blow to his opponent's Life Points, given him another straight win for his title.

"Winner, the Crimson HERO, Yuki Judai!" The rev announced before he glanced at Judai's opponent, who was now out cold, and quickly added in a whisper to the people watching from sidelines, "someone get him to Nurse Ayukawa."

Judai, who was still standing there on his side of the Dueling Field, frowned at that. He deactivated his duel disk before closing his eyes with a sigh.

"That went well for your ninety-ninth straight win."

Judai opened his eyes at that and he wasn't surprised to find himself in what he had come to known as his Soul Room. The darkness, the floating mirrors, his 'twin' sitting on his throne, watching him with his emotionless expression, they all became second nature for him to see when he opened his eyes.

"You know, for someone who should feel proud of himself, I instead feel like a monster." Judai replied, bitterly to his other half.

"I made you an offer, Judai. I didn't make you choose it." Haou told him in his normal emotionless tone.

"I was out of options!" Judai pointed out before shaking his head. "But that still doesn't mean I should have sold my soul over to the devil because of it."

"You know, since we're the same person and all, if you're going to call me a devil then you're just calling yourself one too." Haou stated before he leaned his head on his arm. "Actually, I see you more as a fallen angel, one with black wings of the color midnight or with no wings at all since God burned them right off you before tossing you right out of heaven and into the abyss."

"Thanks for the input, Lucifer." Judai mumbled, sarcastically, before closing his eyes, hoping that when he opened them again, he was out of this hell hole that he called his soul.

At times like this, Judai seriously wondered where he went wrong in his life. All he wanted to do three years ago was to help Selena get off the island to find her future but instead of that happening, Judai ended up dueling against his Ex-Head Professor, turning him (along with some of the members of the Obelisk Force) into cards without even knowing it or being in full control, and ended up meeting another persona of himself. So the nutshell version was that he failed to help his friend and founded out he had Multiple Personality Disorder.

To make matters worse, ever since that day, Judai was never allowed to see Selena ever again, since the stuff blamed him for her trying to escape so much. They made Judai change classes so he was now studying from one of the lower levels of the school while Selena was trapped in the top of the castle. Judai thought he could deal with it but after the first year passed, he started to crack and demanded to see his childhood friend. Long story short, it didn't exactly work out for him. He ended up having detention during the rest of the second year. Finally, during the beginning of this year, that's when Haou came to him with his offer.

"If you can become strong enough, you can force Akaba Leo to allow you to see your girlfriend again."

"And how do I do that?"Judai had questioned, wanting to know what Haou's answer was that he ignored the part about Selena being his girlfriend.

"Defeat one hundred duelists here to increase your power. By the time you hit one hundred, you'll be unstoppable. Then challenge Akaba to a duel, forcing him to allow you to see Selena if you win which you will."

Not knowing what he was fully getting himself into at the time, Judai accepted his other half's offer.

So with the goal in mind to see Selena again, Judai started to challenge anyone and everyone he could and like Haou said, he felt himself get stronger with each win he gained. It was going great at the time. He was becoming a star duelist and even gained himself a title known as the Crimson HERO since he used a HERO deck and was sporting himself the Academia's red blazer.

However, as soon as Judai had hit fifty wins, the brunette started to have random blackout attacks, like one second he was walking down a hallway and then the next, he would just sudden collapse, unconscious. Then, when he had hit sixty wins, that's when the real trouble started. During the duels after that, Judai quickly realized that he was dealing real full force damage onto his opponents, always causing them to have to go to the nurse's office right after he beat them.

So after his seventy duel and win, Judai finally had enough and went to Haou to question him what the heck was going on with him.

"You're the one that wanted to get stronger."Haou had said to him. "The blackouts are just your body adjusting to your growing power which is what's causing you to deal real damage."

"But I don't want to deal real damage! I don't want to hurt people!"

"Well you should have thought about that when you decided to accept my offer, Judai."

And with that very sentence, it hit the brunette. "You...you tricked me."

"I would like to think of it asmutualism. You want to see your friend, so I'm allowing you to use my power to do so and for me to allow you to use my power, I need to become stronger. In the state that I'm in now, I can't do much but for each duel you win with just a bit of myinfluence over you, my power grows. So it's just a giant circle really. Now,"Haou paused to look at his other half fully, "tell me again how I tricked you?"

Judai opened his mouth to reply but when he couldn't come up with anything to say to that, he closed it and looked away. "You could have given me more detail to what I was signing myself up for."He mumbled.

"True, but what fun is that? I need some amusement, after all. Lucky for you, Judai, you're just full of amusement for me to enjoy."

"You know, I'm starting to think you're a bit of asadistic, Haou."

"You justnow noticed?"

So after finding out he had Sadistic Personality Disorder, which totally made that all the more better, Judai didn't know what to do. Haou told him it was too late to turn back now and with seventy wins, Judai could agree with him. But to continue to hurt people just to see his friend once more, it seemed selfish in Judai's eyes.

"So? It was selfish of them to take your friend away from you."Haou had pointed out to him. "To beat evil, Judai, sometimes you'll have to become a greater evil."

Judai seriously didn't know after that if Haou was just really wise or really manipulative. If he had to choose, he would pick-

"Aniki, Aniki! Snap out of it!"

Judai opened his eyes at that, glancing around before letting out a breath when he noticed that he was no longer in the darkness of his soul. Instead, he found himself still in the training room, with his friend, Marufuji Shō, a short bluenette with grey eyes behind glasses in a dark blue blazer, staring up at him with a worried expression.

"Oh hey, Sho," Judai greeted with a tired smile.

"Don't you, "oh hey, Sho" me, Aniki!" Sho responded sharply to the person who he viewed as a big brother. "You'll been standing there like a statue for ten minutes! Everyone has left already! Haven't you noticed?!"

"Uh..."

"I take that as a no." Sho sighed but he was still looking at Judai with a worried expression. "Aniki, are you sure you're okay to be dueling? Your blackout attacks might be affecting your health!"

I wish it was just the blackouts.Judai thought mentally cursing at Haou in the back of his mind before he forced a smile. "Hey Sho, come on, you worry too much about me."

"Someone has to, Aniki."

"Well you know what I'm worried about? If there's any fried shrimp left to eat! They're serving it today!"

"Wait, Aniki!" Sho called as Judai took off out of the training room. The bluenette sighed at that before he followed after him to the cafeteria.

...

"How can you eat when you only need one more win to face Akaba?" Haou questioned in what sounded like an annoyed tone to Judai in his mind. "Get the win and then stuff your face full."

'Oh lighten up, Haou.' Judai replied back mentally while physical he was digging into his food from the Academia's cafeteria. 'It's bad enough that I have to act cheerful around my friends so they won't worry about me but having to deal with your 'wonderful' comments isn't helping and for that matter, why do I have to haveexactly one hundred wins anyway? Isn't ninety-nine good enough?'

"No!" Haou snapped, which almost made Judai fall out of his seat from surprise. Since when did Haou lose his temper all of the sudden? "Now get off your lazy ass and find your final opponent!"

'Well excuse me, your highness!'

"Aniki, are you okay? You look like you just swallowed a bad shrimp."

Judai was so focused in his mental argument with Haou that he didn't realize the angry expressions that he was making. "Huh? What?" He laughed sheepishly when Sho was giving him a concerned look. "Oh, it's nothing, Sho. I was just remembering something that got under my skin." Quite literally...

Sho didn't look one bit convinced by that. "Aniki, I'm being serious. I really think you should rest for a couple of days until we're sure that you won't blackout anymore."

"Rest is for the weary...are you going to eat that?"

Sho looked down at his uneaten tray of food before his eyebrow twitched. "Aniki..."

"Huh? I'll take that as a no. Sweet, more food for me!"

"Yuki Judai!" Sho snapped, slamming his hands down on the table, causing Judai to actually fall backwards out of his chair from surprise from the outburst and from the fact that Sho was calling him by his name instead of Aniki which he only did when he was really serious about something. "If you want this final win of yours so much that you would risk your own health to get it then fine! I'll be your final opponent! And if I win," Sho pointed at him while Judai was trying to sit up after his fall, "you're going to Ayukawa-Sensei and staying with her until we can find out the cause of your blackouts!"

"Can't we duel after lunch?" Judai asked with a groan, rubbing his aching head.

"No!"

"Oh man, how did I get myself into this mess?" Judai muttered to himself.

"I don't see why you're complaining."Judai groaned once more when Haou started speaking in his head again. "This kid is pretty much offering himself to you to beat. The faster you get this duel finished, the faster you'll get to see Selena again. Isn't that what you want, Judai?"

'Yeah but I will hurt Sho if I duel him!'Judai pointed out. There was no maybe to it. 'I can't let that happen!'

"Well it's too late now. Your friend looks pretty hell-bent on beating you."

...

Judai seriously hated it when Haou was right about something. Before he knew what was happening, the short bluenette blue had pretty much dragged him to the training room, how was he able to do that Judai would never know, and forced him to activate his duel disk while Sho activated his own, a dark blue disk with a lighter blue blade.

"Sho, I don't know about this. You know the rules. No dueling after eating."

"Aniki, that's for swimming."

"Same difference."

"No, it's not." Sho sighed. "Aniki, why are you trying to get out of this? You love dueling!"

Yeah, before my other half kinda ruined it for me.Judai thought and was a little surprised that Haou didn't reply to that. Though what really surprised him the most out of all of this was that Sho was the one giving him this speech. When he first came to Academia, the little guy was terrified to be caught in a duel and now look at him! Academia sure knew how to turn people into Duel Soldiers, that's for sure, and Judai didn't want to think about what they did to Sho's real older brother. "That's not the point, Sho, I'm-"

"Duel!" The short boy exclaimed, starting the duel.

Judai: 4000

Sho: 4000

"Uh Sho-" Judai began but Sho cut him off by summoning a monster to the field.

"I summon Gyroid in defense mode!" The bluenette began.

Gyroid was a blue and white cartoon helicopter. It was an Level 3, Wind Attribute, Machine Type, Effect Monster with 1000 Attack and Defense Points.

"I also set a card face down. Turn end." Sho finished as a face down appeared behind his monster. "Now, bring it on, Aniki!"

"Oh Sho," Judai sighed, drawing his card. "I guess you aren't leaving me much of a choice, huh?" I just hope he doesn't end up like my last few opponents.He thought looking at his card. "I summon Elemental HERO Bubbleman in attack mode."

The HERO monster that appeared on Judai's field was in blue armor equipped with two large tanks on his back and a little bubble blaster on his right arm. Bubbleman was a Level 4, Water Attribute, Warrior Type, Effect Monster with 800 Attack Points and 1200 Defense Points.

"Bubbleman's effect activates: when he's the only card on my field when he's summon, I can draw two more cards." Judai spoke, picking up two more cards from his deck. "And now I'm going to activate one of them, Common Soul! With this, I can special summon one Neo-Spacian from my hand onto the field by selecting a monster to equip this spell too." Judai chose a card from his hand and placed it on his duel disk. "Rise, Neo-Spacian Dark Panther!"

Neo-Spacian Dark Panther turned out to be just that, a large dark panther with a black cape in attack mode. He was a Level 3, Dark Attribute, Beast Type, Effect Monster with 1000 Attack Points and 500 Defense Points.

"Now thanks to Common Soul, Bubbleman gains attack points equal to Dark Panther's." Judai continued as Bubbleman's Attack Points went from 800 to 1800.

"Now Bubbleman, attack Sho's Gyroid with Bubble Blast!" Judai commented before his Water Warrior blasted a powerful jet of water at the helicopter.

"Reverse card open, Supercharge!" Sho countered as his face down rose up. "Since I control a Machine Type "Roid" monster when you declare an attack, I can draw two cards and that's not all! Gyroid's effect, one per turn, he can't be destroyed by battle!"

Sho drew his cards while Gyroid shook off Bubbleman's attack.

"Huh, trying to by some time, Sho?" Judai asked before he looked at Dark Panther who nodded back. "Well you better think again since I still have Dark Panther! Attack!"

"What? But Aniki, Gyroid and Dark Panther have the same Attack Points! They will just destroy each other!" Sho pointed out, surprised at the other boy's move.

Judai smirked at that. "No they won't. Dark Panther's effect, one per turn, he can copy the effects of one of your monsters that's on your field like your Gyroid's effect for example which prevents it from being destroyed once per turn."

"What?" Sho gasped, watching as Dark Panther's form shifted until it was an exact copy of Gyroid before the two helicopter crashed into each other but Judai's one was left standing.

"Nice work, Dark Panther." Judai smiled as his monster returned to his side of the field and changed back to normal. If I can just keep this up without doing any or much damage to Sho, it'll be great. "I play two cards face down and end my turn."

"Okay, you got me there, Aniki, but you won't get me again. I draw." Sho looked at the card he just drew and let out a sigh of relief. "Yes, I got it." Sho grinned as he held up the card. "I play Polymerization! With it, I fuse together my Truckroid, Expressroid, Drillroid, and Stealthroid to create Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union!"

A cartoon truck, express train, drill vehicle, and a stealth plane all appeared on Sho's field before they all fused together to create a giant Transformer like monster. Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union was a Level 9, Earth Attribute, Machine Type, Fusion Monster with 3600 Attack Points and 3000 Defense Points.

"Well now I see why you needed that drawing power…" Judai trailed off, glancing up at the giant robot just as it unleashed a powerful punch that sent Bubbleman flying back into the wall, destroying him.

Judai: 2200

Sho: 4000

"Bubbleman!" Judai gasped before he activated his two face downs. "Reverse cards open, Hero Signal and Neo Signal! Since a monster I control was sent to the graveyard, I can now special summon one Level 4 or lower Elemental HERO and Neo-Spacian from my hand or deck onto the field. I choose my Elemental HERO Clayman and Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird, both in defense mode."

Two monsters appeared on the field on each side of Dark Panther. Elemental HERO Clayman was a monster made completely out of clay with a red head. He was a Level 4, Earth Attribute, Warrior Type, Normal Monster with 800 Attack Points and 2000 Defense Points. Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird was a red humanoid hummingbird with large white wings and a yellow beak. He was a Level 3, Wind Attribute, Winged-Beast Type, Effect Monster with 800 Attack Points and 600 Defense Points.

"Nice play, Sho, but it's going to take more than that to take me down." Judai grinned.

"I know, Aniki, and that's why I'm happy I have this, the Quick-Play Spell, De-Fusion!" Sho revealed, holding up the final card in his hand.

"What?!" Judai gasped from surprise as Sho's Fusion Monster de-fused into its four Fusion Materials, all in attack mode. Truckroid was a Level 4, Earth Attribute, Machine Type, Effect Monster with 1000 Attack Points and 2000 Defense Points. Expressroid was a Level 4, Earth Attribute, Machine Type, Effect Monster with 400 Attack Points and 1600 Defense Points. Drillroid was a Level 4, Earth Attribute, Machine Type, Effect Monster with 1600 Attack Points and Defense Points. Finally, Stealthroid was a Level 4, Dark Attribute, Machine Type, Effect Monster with 1200 Attack Points and 0 Defense Points.

"And I jinxed myself." Judai muttered to himself.

"Idiot," Haou mumbled in his head.

"It's still my Battle Phase, Aniki, and since it is, I'm having my Stealthroid start things off by attacking your Dark Panther!" Sho commended. "Go, After Burner!"

Stealthroid flew higher into the air before it went over Dark Panther and blasted the cat off the field with its missiles.

Judai: 2000

Sho: 4000

"Drillroid now attacks your Clayman and when Drillroid battles a monster in defense mode, it's immediately destroyed!"

Drillroid dug into the ground before making its way over to Clayman. It dug right through the clay warrior as it resurfaced onto the field.

"And I'm not finished yet, Aniki, now its Truckroid's time to shine and when he destroys a monster in battle and sends it to the graveyard, I can equip that monster to Truckroid and he gains ATK equal to the combined ATK of the monsters equipped to him by this effect." Sho explained.

Damn it, I'm losing Hummingbird and Sho's monster is getting its attack raised. Judai thought, gritting his teeth as he could only watch as his last monster on the field became road kill by Truckroid before Air Hummingbird was thrown into the back of the truck by the Roid monster, increasing its attack from 1000 to 1800.

"Finally, with all of your monsters out of the way, Expressroid, attack Aniki directly!" Sho commented.

"Nuts," Judai muttered, bracing himself as the express train ran him right over, taking away 400 of his life points.

Judai: 1600

Sho: 4000

"Wow…I didn't really think that would work." Sho admitted after he noticed that he left Judai with nothing on his field while he had four monsters on his. "I'll end my turn with that." He finished since he couldn't do anything else with an empty hand.

"Okay, I'll admit something too, Sho, you got me." Judai said, drawing his card. "But I won't let that happen again. I play my Convert Contact spell card! Since I control no monsters, I can send a Neo-Spacian from my hand and deck to the graveyard then I can draw two cards."

Judai sent his Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab from his hand and Neo-Spacian Grand Mole from his deck to the graveyard before drawing two cards. Hey, Judai thought looking at his hand now. I think I might just have a plan to end this now.

"About time too," Haou spoke, "the quicker you'll end this, the quicker you'll get to see your lover again."

'Okay, first off, Selena is just a friend! Secondly, why lover of all words?' Judai questioned with a groan.

"Quit your complaining and just get on with the duel." Haou told him, almost sounding impatient much to Judai surprise.

What's up with him? Judai wondered before he shook his head, choosing to ignore Haou and his sudden mode swing as he activated his next spell card. "I play A Hero Lives! Since I still control no monsters, I can pay half of my life points to special summon a level 4 or lower Elemental HERO from my deck. I pick my Elemental HERO Neos Alius in attack mode!"

Judai: 800

Sho: 4000

The new Elemental HERO monsters that appeared on the field looked like a child version of the normal Elemental HERO Neos. Elemental HERO Neos Alius was a Level 4, Light Attribute, Warrior Type, Gemini Monster with 1900 Attack Points and 1300 Defense Points.

"A Gemini Monster?" Sho spoke, surprised. "Aniki, since when did you get one of those?"

Judai grinned. "Would you believe me if I told you he fell from the sky?"

"Nope."

"Yeah, I thought so." Judai said before he shared a nod with Alius as he took the monster's card off the duel disk. "Gemini Monsters are quite special, Sho. They're Normal Monsters on the field and in the graveyard but once they're on the field, you can resummon them to have them become Effect Monsters. For example, like now. Come on back, Alius!"

Alius reappeared on the field but this time, he looked like the normal version of Neos.

"Neos Alius's Effect, when he's treated as an Effect Monster, he's also treated as Elemental HERO Neos." Judai explained. "Now I'm going to use my Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy my Air Hummingbird so he doesn't have to be packaging anymore."

A mini typhoon formed that blew around Truckroid, causing the Roid monster to open its backdoors to allow Air Hummingbird to escape, and making Truckroid's attack go back to 1000.

"Thanks for the save, Judai." Hummingbird spoke as he disappeared to the graveyard.

Judai smiled and nodded. "You're welcome, Hummingbird, and don't worry, I'm bringing you along with the others all back very soon." He promised and he meant it when he played his next spell card. "I play Cocoon Party! With this, for each Neo-Spacian in my graveyard, I can special summon a Chrysalis onto my field."

"You have four of them in your graveyard if I remember corrected." Sho spoke.

"And you'll be right, Sho. So how about we give a warm welcome to Chrysalis Chicky, Chrysalis Larva, Chrysalis Mole, and Chrysalis Pantail!"

Four small and cuter versions of the Neo-Spacians that Judai had resting in his graveyard appeared on each side of Neos Alius, all shielded in cocoons, and filling up his Monster Card Zones. Chrysalis Chicky was a baby hummingbird. He was a Level 2, Wind Attribute, Winged-Beast Type, Effect Monster with 600 Attack Points and 400 Defense Points. Chrysalis Larva was a Level 2, Fire Attribute, Insect Type, Effect Monster with 300 Attack Points and Defense Points. Chrysalis Mole was a brown mole, Level 2, Earth Attribute, Rock Type, Effect Monster with 700 Attack Points and 100 Defense Points. Finally, Chrysalis Pantail was a black kitten. He was a Level 2, Dark Attribute, Beast Type, Effect Monster with 800 Attack Points and 300 Defense Points.

"Baby aliens?" Sho questioned in confusion.

"Well yes and no. Yes, they are baby aliens but not for long. I play Cocoon Rebirth!" Judai said, activating the continuous spell card. "With this, for each Chrysalis I tribute, I can special summon a Neo-Spacian with the same attribute back from the graveyard."

"What?!" Sho gasped, watching as the four Chrysalis grew in size until what was standing facing him were Neo-Spacian Dark Panther, Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird, Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab, and Neo-Spacian Grand Mole.

Flare Scarab appeared to be a humanoid scarab. He was a Level 3, Fire Attribute, Insect Type, Effect Monster with 500 Attack Points and Defense Points. Grand Mole looked like a giant mole with some kinda of drill machine hooked onto him. This monster was Level 3, Earth Attribute, Rock Type, Effect Monster with 900 Attack Points and 300 Defense Points.

"Four Neo-Spacians at once! I can't believe it, Aniki!" Sho gasped.

Judai grinned at that. Huh, this is working better than I thought! Now I can just contact fuse Alius with Hummingbird to create Elemental HERO Air Neos and win the duel with an OTK!

And with that one thought, Judai's eyes widen in horror. Wait! What am I thinking?! If I attack Sho with that much power, I could very well end up sending him to the hospital or worse! I can't do it! I'll just have to end this duel without Sho taking too much damage from one attack. Judai left out a sigh of relief. It's a good thing my Neo-Spacians have low attacks points…

"You're a coward, Yuki Judai." Haou growled at Judai in his mind, suddenly causing the brunette to grab his head in pain.

'Ow! Haou, what the hell?!' Judai questioned, gritting his teeth in pain.

"Huh? Aniki, what's wrong?" Sho asked when he noticed right away that his big brother figure was in pain.

"You know, I was going to let you have your final victory but I've been waiting three whole years for this day and to be honest, I'm quite sick of waiting for you to end this already."

'Haou, what are you-' Judai literally felt like his head was about to split open from how much pain he was in that he couldn't even think or see straight anymore.

Then suddenly, the pain just stopped, leaving Judai just standing there, emotionlessly.

"…Aniki?" Sho mumbled watching the other duelist who had just suddenly stopped moving after looking like he was about to pass out from the random pain attack he just had.

"The revival of the Supreme King has begun!" Judai exclaimed out of nowhere, causing Sho to take a step back from surprise and fright. "Time to lay waste to your pathetic little life! With Neo-Spacians Flare Scarab and Grand Mole on the field, I join them together with Elemental HERO Neos Alius for a Contact Fusion to Fusion Summon out, Elemental HERO Magma Neos!"

Alius, Flare Scarab, and Grand Mole all jump into the air and appeared to have flown off into space before they all come together to create their Fusion Form. Elemental HERO Magma Neos looked like normal Neos but his arms, legs, and chest were harden by green dirt while one hand had a brown animal claw while the other was magma being held back by rocks formed around it. Magma Neos is Level 9, Fire Attribute, Warrior Type, Fusion Monster with 3000 Attack Points and 2500 Defense Points.

"Magma Neos's Monster Effect activates: for every card on the field, Magma Neos gains 400 ATK points." Judai stated, holding up four fingers on each hand. "There are four cards on your field and four on mine too so Magma Neos gains 3200 more attack points, bringing him up to a grand total of 6200 ATK points. Who knew that de-fusing your Fusion Monster would bring you your ultimate destruction, huh?"

Sho went bug-eyed behind his glasses as he witness Magma Neos's attack points doubled right before his eyes. "Aniki…" he gulped.

"Aniki is gone, kid." Judai smirked, his golden eyes filled with zero mercy towards his opponent. "Elemental HERO Magma Neos, end him!"

And throughout the Halls of Academia, students, teachers and stuff, all paused in what they were doing when the screams of bloody murder and laugher of the pure evil kind were heard.

However, one student out of anyone on the island didn't even flinch at the sounds. He just continued walking like it was perfectly normal which to him it was. Why everyone else seemed so surprised at it made him question what they were doing here in the first place. Academia, after all, was a place for soldiers and soldiers shouldn't be surprised by the screams of someone getting murdered.

What nuisances, the student thought with an annoyed sigh before he continued on his way to the Fusion Dimension's Interdimensional Travel Machine.

Academia is a school for training Duel Soldiers, that's for sure, but in true to its appearance, it was also a castle. Within the tallest tower of the building laid its throne room. It looked like any throne room you would see in history books but right behind the throne was a long glass window and behind it housed the Fusion Dimension Machine, currently absorbing hundreds maybe even a thousand human trapped inside cards, collected from Heartland in the Xyz Dimension. At the moment, the giant machine was being observed by Akaba Leo, who was also speaking to someone over his shoulder.

"Marufuji Sho is being rushed to the nearest hospital as we speak." Akaba spoke, glancing over his shoulder briefly to the person who had made himself quite comfortable on his throne.

"Shame," Haou replied, once again in his emotionless voice, "and the kid had so much…oh who am I kidding?" He shook his head. "Though I will admit, Judai surprised me with that one. Maybe I should start influence his actions more often? It's really quite entertaining what a bit of madness can do to someone. It just makes them…" Haou snapped his fingers.

Akaba made no comment to that as he turned his full gaze back onto his machine. "So what do you plan to do, Haou, now that you have fully restored your power? Do you intend to dethrone me and take over?"

"That's hardly the case, Akaba. After all, we both have the same goal in mind: to make the Four Dimensions into one. For now, you can have Academia but the Fusion Dimension has and always will be mine to rule," Haou told him before glancing out of the corner of his eye at him, "and while we're asking question, I've been wondering something. Three years ago, on the day I awoken, Selena and Judai tried to make a run for it and in doing so they bumped into your son…what was his name again?"

"Reiji, Akaba Reiji."

"Yes him. So tell me, Professor, why did you force him to leave?" Haou questioned. "If you made him stay, you could have trained him to be one of your soldiers as well. Instead, you sent him packing and who knows what has happened to him over these last three years. He could very well be planning something to take you down for all we know."

"I know he is, Haou," Akaba replied, "he's my son, after all."

"Indeed he is and that's why you made him leave, didn't you?" Haou guessed who in turned started to sound annoyed from that. "You don't want your son to be a part of this, huh? Really Akaba, you're just like Judai, to kind hearted." The Supreme King rolled his eyes as he almost snarled his next words. "Here's a word of free advice, Professor, sometimes the ones that you want to protect the most in the world are the ones that usually want you dead the most."

"You say that like it's from past experiences," Akaba noted, glancing briefly at the King, "now you'll answer something for me, Haou, how did you die in your past life?"

Haou went silent at that for at least a couple of minutes at most before he replied to that. "Curiosity killed the cat, Akaba."

"Yes but the cat has nine lives, doesn't he?"

"Two as far as I know and I'm not testing that theory out anytime soon. I did, after all, just got my body back after three years of waiting for that idiot, Yuki Judai, to listen to me." Haou sighed at that, rubbing his forehead temples when he remembered something. "On that note, I still have to keep my end of our deal. So where did you throw the Moon Goddess this time to keep her from escaping?"

"Selena being watched by her new bodyguard," Akaba told him.

"Oh really now? How is that working out?"

Akaba didn't answer to that.

Haou chuckled slightly at that. "She escaped, didn't she?"

Again, Akaba didn't answer to that.

Haou shook his head at that before he stood up from the throne. "Well this made things a lot more entertaining." He mused before he started to head off.

"And where are you off to?" Akaba questioned, over his shoulder, watching the Supreme King from his reflection in the glass.

"Isn't it obvious?" Haou replied back as he continued walking off. "I'm keeping my end of my deal with Judai and don't worry," he quickly added, "I'll bring Selena back as a bonus. After that…"

Haou paused just as he was about to leave through the door.

"I request a meeting with Prince Lily."

And with that, the Supreme King was gone.

...

And there you have it, my Darklings, Chapter Two of "The HERO of Academia" done! Haou pretty much screwed Judai over XD and Sho may or may not be dying...but hey, we have Prince Lily joining with the Supreme King! And if you don't know who that is already, then you might want to look up what Lily means in Japanese. So yeah, next chapter, we get to see more members of the Arc-V cast (yay!) and Royal Beatdowns lol

So yeah, hope you guys enjoyed!

And yes, this time I made this chapter filled with a lot of questions for a reason because I'm a troll like that *smug smile*
