Hello, and thank you for checking out this new version of my Yo-Kai Watch X Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V crossover fanfic. I know that this idea of mine won't attract many followers, taking for a fact that Yo-Kai Watch is now a very obscure franchise outside Japan, but i could care less! I always wanted to write this story ever since my hyperfixation with the 2 franchises started. But after giving a fast reading to my old version, i decided that it would be better to start over to make this fic a more enjoyable experience. Now that's out of the way, feel free to leave a critique so i can make this story i treasure much better. Perhaps it won't be the most known, but that won't be an excuse to give all my heart and soul to this story.
The Prologue: A Tragedy of 3 Players
"If there is the will, then there is hope." - Atem, the Nameless Pharaoh of Egypt
Games… They have forged us, shaped us, and even destroyed us. Now, some might point out that games are nothing more than a silly hobby, but to everyone reading this tale, games have been responsible for existance...
Long ago… Much long ago when even the concept of existence didn't exist, there was nothing… but for nothingness to exist, there has to be something to exist.
And thus… Something was created…
Believed to be the progenitor of all cards and monsters, the creator of all life, the Numeron Dragon gave birth to the Numero Code with a single tar of his almighty power. An all-powerful card who grants its holder the power over creation itself. Giving life to anything the user can desire and imagine.
With the card in his draconic hands, he said…
"Let there be life…"
A single word was enough to start life as we know it. With it, the anonymous creator gave birth to the concepts we know. Light and Darkness, Life and Death, Good and Evil, Law and Chaos.
The Benevolent Maker was aware that none of the prior could exists without its counterpart. He believed that balance was key for peace, freedom and prosperity.
With all of this now in place, the entity just, left… Deciding to let his creations take the wheel for what will happen next.
With the Numeron Code alone for the taking, thousands if not, trillions of entities both from the light and the dark began to fight over the power said card possesses for their own selfish desires. Casualties didn't wait to appear, as these constant wars left innumerable corpses of the soldiers who participated.
The result was that these entities all died due to their own foolishness. Though, some might theorize that these warriors have reincarnated or transformed into spirits and monsters on another plane of existence, waiting for a summoner to call forth their powers.
With so much bloodshed happening due to these wage wars, the highest powers were forced to resolve their conflicts without dropping a single enemy blood…
That's when games were born…
The history of the first games ever played can be traced back to Ancient Egypt 5,000 years ago…
These games were designed to judge the fates of both citizens and kings of yore. Though, these games had major and fatal consequences for those who partake in.
These were known as Shadow Games. Forbidden and Dangerous Games of life and death that toyed with the powers of the Darkness, whose loser would be punished with a fate worse than death itself.
The culmination of these Shadow Games was so big, it almost caused the fall of the Egyptian empires, with some theorizing that these Shadow Games were responsible for the 10 Plagues of Egypt.
But when the world is covered by a thick and strong darkness of despair, a ray of hope will always emerge. A nameless Pharaoh used all of his power to seal these wicked games from being played ever again by the cost of being forgotten…
Time goes on, and games have begun to partake with human society. Originally just a hobby, it evolved and transformed into everyone's way of life. Thanks to this, technology has advanced to a ridiculous degree, allowing humanity to reach their peak.
Though, when you reach the top of a mountain, all that is left is to go downhill…
The set piece of this drastic tragedy took place during humanity's prime, at a city located above the heavens. The buildings and architectures of the land above the clouds were a marble to behold. All of its inhabitants were enjoying prosperity and happiness, thanks to all the advanced technology on their fingertips.
But 3 individuals stood above all. One was the scientist, with ambitions and dreams beyond anyone's imagination, constantly outdoing himself with every technological discovery he accomplished. The other one was a young woman, daughter of the scientist who possessed a heart as pure as snow and a tenacity as strong as diamonds when it came to games, and lastly, the Supreme King Dragon, crowned as the unbeatable champion of Duel Monsters and the King of Duels. He was blessed with 4 heavenly dragons, each one of them representing one of many summoning methods, and the power to see and talk with the spirits of the monsters of Duel Monsters.
These 3 individuals were the important players for the tragedy that was about to happen. But, the Scientist was going to be the biggest player of them all…
The Scientist in search of recognition and eternal fame, began to experiment with the Real Solid Vision technology and squeeze all of its potential that was mostly used for daily, commercial and business purposes in the search of giving Real Solid Vision more life and feel like the real deal, unaware that he was about to open Pandora's Box.
Inspired by his daughter's love for Duel Monsters, he began to experiment with the monsters of the game in hopes of giving them feelings of their own, wishing to recreate the magic of the games of old that were played by the egyptians. Despite not achieving the monster's sentience, he made something astonishing. He gave the Duel Monsters real mass, no longer being holographic projections. The fruits of his invention were in the forms of praises from both the Dueling and even the Scientific campuses, constantly being showered in awards, recognition and fame from all across the globe. This gave birth to a new era of Dueling.
The young woman, on the other hand, felt that she was growing more distant from her father the more fame he gained with his Real Solid Vision. But nevertheless, she continued to duel like no other. During her time on the dueling circuit, she encountered the Supreme King Dragon. They began as rivals, seeing as the 2 were even at power, slowly forging a bond of friendship, which in time, blossomed into a beautiful sense of true mutual love. They began to date often, growing closer and closer, as even the Scientist grew attached to the Supreme King Dragon, up to the point of seeing him as some sort of son.
And finally, there's the Supreme King Dragon. Originally, another duelist of the bunch with the sole purpose in life to use Dueling to entertain the masses and see them smile. His soul at that moment was like a blank canvas, ready to be painted by the world and its society. Thanks to the Scientist's Real Soliv Vision, his name began to be known, and thus his fame grew significantly. Victory after victory, he began to positionate himself as the unbeatable king of duels at the Pro-Leages and the crowd's favorite, all thanks to his astral ability to hear and understand his monsters, granting him an unbreakable bond with his 4 dragons and a perfect synchrony with them. No one was able to stand a chance against him, all except for the Young Woman, but even that always end with the Supreme King Dragon's victory.
Unfortunately, peace isn't eternal, as the desire for violence, bloodshed, greed and sinning are part of human nature. Society grew bored, and neither games or Duel Monsters were able to satiate their twisted desires. They wished for something more exciting to happen, but society was too lazy and too scared of doing it themselves, as they just wished to see the world burn and see the weak suffer and squirm. And unfortunately, they began to grow tired of the Supreme King Dragon's entertainment duels.
That's when it all began…
During one of the Supreme King Dragon's matches with thousands of spectators, he ordered his Odd-Eyes Dragon to attack his opponent's Ignition Beast Volcannon with a violent tail swipe. The magnitude of the tail strike was such, it blasted the dragonic machine far away like a baseball bat going for a Home Run. Though, on a huge accident, the Duelist and master of Vulcannon was caught in the crossfire. His fear was such, as his legs were shaking in fear, unable to move. He could only watch as his Fusion monster was about to hit him and there wasn't a signal that it was about to stop.
"AAAAHH!" The duelist shirked in pure far as he crashed against one of his monster's spikes it has on his shoulders, just to later alongside his monster be blasted to the wall of the stadium.
Once the cloud of the impact vanished, it revealed something horrible. The Supreme King Dragon's opponent received a fatal injury, as it broke his left arm completely.
Due to his once pure heart, the Supreme King Dragon ran quickly to help his opponent get up and apologize, as it wasn't his intention to injure him.
But just when he was about to reach his opponent, the sounds of clapping from one of the spectators began to echo all around the stadium. More claps began to join in, until it snowballed into a loud cheer of celebration and satisfaction.
The darkness within their hearts began to be revealed as they began to celebrate over the Supreme King Dragon's Brutalic win, they were bored to the bone, and they received this violent way of dueling with open arms and with excitement.
The Supreme King Dragon witnessed the twisted smiles of the crowd. Rather than feeling some sort of regret, he just smirked… If the crowd loved it, so does he…
After that incident, the heart of the Supreme King Dragon began to turn black and rot alongside the hearts of the society that fed him attention. The Supreme King Dragon began to embrace this more extreme and violent way of dueling alongside his dragons, as the 4 beasts began to devolve into their most primal of instincts. The more duels he participated in, the more gruesome, violent and flashy his dueling style became. Yet the crowd that praised the Supreme King Dragon only fed his dark soul even more power. No one was capable of stopping him, as no one wanted him to stop.
Little by little, and duel by duel, the audiences began to spurn the Supreme King Dragon to show them even more violent duels, that even the higher authorities didn't bother to step in, as these violent duels were only filling more their pockets with cash due to the rising popularity. And the envious duelists overshadowed by the Supreme King Dragon weren't left behind. For them to gain the general public's attention, they began to promote themselves by mimicking the Supreme King Dragon's violent ways of dueling, transforming this once harmless Children's card game into a pit of bloodthirsty gladiatiors.
Things worsen by the minute. These violent duels have begun to grow ridiculously popular amongst the entire world, society normalized these kinds of practices not only inside dueling stadiums, but outside of them too. Everywhere you go, you could find duelists trying to brutalize their opponent in the most sadistic way possible, and crowds began to fill the flocks to witness these butcheries. And they get even more excited whenever the loser dies, and much more if it was the goriest way possible. These violent duels were spiraling out of control, they began to be no different from the Shadow Games of yore.
Countless lives were lost through these duels, and people continued to glorify these acts of violence and genocide. And the Supreme King Dragon didn't seem to stop. He continued to crush the opposition like flies all while performing, up to the point that he obtained all the dueling titles they have existed, crowning himself as the new King of Games, sitting on the peak of dueling.
But, the world flew too close to the sun, as their sins were about to be punished by the own monster they created with their own hands.
During the world grand finals, he beat his one last opponent, the Young Lady she used to love. But right after his malevolent transformation, she grew distant from the Supreme King Dragon, blaming him for transforming Duel Monsters into a weapon to kill and torture people. She even announced that she was officially quitting the game by throwing her deck with spite for seeing how badly the game she used to love once evolved.
Nevertheless, the Supreme King Dragon could care less, as he became absorbed by his own wicked desires of twisted entertainment and victory. But with no opponents for him to duel, he began to starve…
"Come on!" He shouted in front of his loyal fans and followers. "Is there no one left who wants to fight me?" He grew hungrier for blood and battle, but the remaining duelists were too scared to duel him, as they didn't want to die in front of millions. "I am not satisfied, and neither is my public! Come on! Don't let those stupid morals weaken you! FIGHT ME NOW!" He shouted like a roaring dragon, all while standing on top of a mountain of corpses from his opponents.
Yet, the ignorant and disgusting masses were cheering on, following the Supreme King Dragon's hunger for total destruction.
"MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE!" The crowds of people chanted like sheep, desiring more destruction to satisfy them.
The Supreme King Dragon then smirked, marking that he was on a spot with no return. His heart had been absorbed by evil, and he was beyond salvation.
"YES! YES! Your cheers of satisfaction make my dragons stronger!" The Supreme King Dragon exclaimed, showing his 4 dragons in hand. "AND WE'LL GIVE YOU ALL A DUEL LIKE NO OTHER! I WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING!" He roared once again, as the darkness of the human heart began to absorb him, now making him the vessel of the ultimate demon god of evil itself.
At that moment, he called forth his 4 heavenly dragons for the world to see. The crowd cheered like always, but their sense of security would end once the 4 beats began to rampage the stage with their fire-breaths. Half the stadium was destroyed and the screams of the people began to fill the void.
Everything changed from that point on. The Supreme King Dragon was now renowned as a dangerous terrorist, sending his dragons and magicians to annihilate everything and everyone all across the world. The Scientist watched in dismay as how his world crumbled down, where he remembered something very important…
Duel Monster cards have souls...
Since the Scientist invented a technology to create solid monsters, it gave the spirits of said monsters the chance to gain an avatar and manifest into the real world, without the usage of the Millenium Items whatsoever.
The world's armies charged against the dragons, but all opposition perished against the dragon's might. And things grew worse and worse.
The Supreme King Dragon stood in front of his 4 dear dragons, enjoying the despair and death he's causing everywhere. "I see… So you're still not satisfied, my monsters?" He asked his dragons with malice, which his monsters roared violently to respond. "So shall it be! Let us all become one powerful god of destruction and obtain the supreme power!" He shouted, losing the last string of his sanity.
From his deck, he pulled out his monster, the Astrograph Sorcerer, one of his 2 magicians with the celestial powers to bend time and space with the swing of their staffs.
"And now, we shall become one!" The Supreme King Dragon shouted out with malice, being as excited to unify himself with his dragons. "Astrograph Magician who governs over time and space…" He chanted as his Spellcaster card began to glow with intensity.
The divine warlock stood above his master and his dragons. He rose his godly staff, creating an arc of light in the sky, all while the Supreme King Dragon continued to chant. "With your unfathomable powers, merge our desires into one!" He continued, as he repeatedly said "We shall become one! We shall become one! We Shall become one!" all while his mighty dragons roared constantly as the 5 began to be sucked into the Ark the Sorcerer created.
The Scientist and the Young Woman witnessed the birth of the new Supreme King in terror. The 2 felt useless and feeble amongst the monstrosity that was taking form in front of their eyes.
The skies above men darkened like no other day… Red lighting bolts were falling off, announcing the arrival of the devil duelist. People's hearts were terrified by just looking at the Supreme King Dragon's silhouette.
A colossal dragon began to descend from above the hellish heavens. It's black and green colors and lines glued to show power and superiority amongst the feeble and weak. His dark wings spread to cover the raylights of the sun, condemning the world into an eternal night of despair. Much as his name suggests, the Supreme King Dragon has turned himself into a dragon.
The Supreme King Dragon Z-Arc!
The darkest days of humanity have come to arrive. The Supreme King Dragon terrorized and annihilated everything and anything that was in front of him without regret or remorse whatsoever, constantly teasing the humans below him about how it was their desire for violence and excitement that this came to exist.
The Scientist felt his soul crushed completely. He felt that this was all his fault, that he kickstarted the end of the world. Many have warned him about the consequences of his actions, but he didn't listen. People are dying just to stand against the demon he created, but all perished by his mighty power.
Nonetheless, the Scientist felt that it was his duty to exterminate the Supreme King Dragon by any means, as he felt it was the only way to cleanse himself from his sins, and that he couldn't watch one of his closest destroy everything.
In order to combat the Supreme King Dragon, the Scientist created 4 special Continuous Spells that channelized not only the power of its specific summoning method, but also the powers of nature and life itself.
En Flowers
En Winds
En Moon
En Birds
Though the cards were so powerful and unstable, its user could die, or even endanger reality itself. But the Scientist could care less about the side effects, as long as it defeats the devil duelist, he will risk his life. So, in order for him to use these cards, he crafted 4 special bracelets using fragments of his own DNA and soul and the natural energies from the whole world to stabilize these cards and prevent them from going unstable
But fate had other plans… The Young Woman quickly discovered her father's plan to sacrifice himself to protect her and humanity. Feeling that she was also at fault for not being there for the Supreme King Dragon when he needed it the most, she snatched the bracelets and cards from her father's back during the day he planned to use them.
While the Scientist's mind quaked with fear and worries, feeling that her daughter doesn't deserve to pay for his sins, the Young Woman ignored all of that. She ranned her way through the ruined city of the utopia, planting herself face to face with her once-been lover.
The Supreme King Dragon was glad that his final opponent would be the only duelist strong enough to last for at least 4 turns against him. So as a last whim, he accepted to duel the Young Woman for the fate of the earth.
The Duel was long, it was tough, violent, and too even on both sides. The Supreme King Dragon tried to attack with his array of Dragons and Extra Deck monsters, but the Young Woman was smart enough to stop most of his moves with traps, spells and monster effects that slowed his opponent from summoning monsters from the extra deck.
"Ahahahaha! This is just pathetic!" The Supreme King Dragon laughed from the chest of his dragon form, as he claimed the upper hand on this duel. And the state of the field shows.
Zarc's LP: Infinite
Zarc's monsters on the field:
(Supreme King Dragon Z-Arc/LV: 12/DARK/Dragon/Integration/ATK: 4000/DEF: 4000)
(Odd-Eyes Dragon/LV: 7/DARK/Dragon/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000)
(Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon/Rank: 4/DARK/Dragon/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000)
(Clear Wing Synchro Dragon/Level: 7/WIND/Dragon/Synchro/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000)
(Starving Venom Fusion Dragon/Level: 8/DARK/Dragon/Fusion/ATK: 2800/DEF: 2000)
"I admire your guts for resting my mighty attacks, Ray. No wonder we were considered the gods of the dueling world." He had to congratulate his former rival in the Pro-Leagues. No duelist has survived this long ever since he transformed into a god. "But as always, you always lose no matter what. Face it! You only have 1 monster on the field that can barely fight against my dragons, let alone myself! And i don't know about you, but i don't know why you were so recklessly sending all cards in your Extra Deck to the Graveyard, but its fun that you act this foolish nonetheless."
It was true. The Young Woman by the name of Ray Akaba, being a woman in her early 20s and had long twin-headed crimson twin-tails was struggling. She was running out of traps and her Life Points were about to drop to 0 by the next turn.
Ray Akaba's LP: 500
Ray's monsters on Field:
(Dogmatika Nexus/LV: 11/LIGHT/Spellcaster/ATK: 3200/DEF: 3200)
(Titaniklad the Ash Dragon/LV: 8/DARK/Dragon/Fusion/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2500)
Ray's monsters on the field were a giant Statue of 2 heavenly dragons being Dogmatika Nexus, her ace monster and a horned dragon made out of white metal and hellish flames, being Titaniklad the Ash Dragon, one of the Fusion monsters. Despite Nexus' devastating ability to destroy all special summoned monster of its opponent, he was unable to do so due to Zarc's card effects that gives him and his dragons immunity from effects that would make them leave the field. She knew that it was impossible to win, so she needed to stall enough turns to draw the 4 En cards that could banish Zarc, of course, by the cost of herself that is. She was smart enough to set the 4 En Card as bluff traps to play mind-games with her opponent.
Nevertheless, she only had 4 cards in hand, 4 special cards in case of a Plan B if Zarc had a way to counter her En cards.
"So what are you waiting for? Draw your last pathetic card so we can end it, Ray!" Zarc pressured Akaba from starting her turn already. "Though, we all know that I already won. So why, why are you trying to stop me from giving the people what they want?"
"B-because… T-this has gotten far enough…" She declared while having one knee on the floor. She received fatal damage through the entirety of the duel, to the point of almost dying multiple times. But she managed to survive thanks to the bond she has with her monsters and her ingenious ways to play her cards. "J-just how can you…? H-how can you be okay with all of this destruction? Look around you! annihilating everything just for some selfish wish to satisfy a group of disguising people… Do you call all of this entertainment!?"
"What are you saying, Ray? This is all that i and everyone wanted!" Zarc extended his arms with a twisted glee on his face. "My crowd wished me to be stronger, even stronger than the definition of the word! All i'm giving them is the destruction and despair they always wanted! I have become their new god, a Dragon god that has transcended all life and matter!" He bellowed, inflating his gigantic Ego. "You? You're nothing… So go on… Draw…"
Ray growled, angry that her words couldn't pierce through her ex-lover's heart. "Everyone's hopes depend on this final draw… Zarc has a face-down card, so he's planning to do something if I were to play something…" She closed her eyes, as she began to talk through the calm zone of her inner mind. "But, there's nothing I can do… So I have to get my game on, rev it up, and high-five the sky!" She was ready to do her last draw. "Father, forgive me… i hope you live a good life, even if i'm not around anymore…" She calmly gave her last send off to the Scientist with a fulfilled smile. "Heart of the cards, guide me…" she pleaded for the mystical lady luck to make her draw the last card she needed to win. Once she opened her eyes, these were ejecting an aura of determination and hope.
Now, there's only one thing to shout out…
"I DRAW!" Ray shouted with all of her soul and spirit, drawing the top card from her Deck, with all trust that this will be the key to victory.
Ray's Hand: 5
And it was!
Once she took a better look at the drawn card, her eyes widened. The Heart of the cards has answered her prayers, and those who were begging for salvation and for this nightmare to end.
"Huh? Why are you getting cocky all of the sudden?" Zarc narrowed at his rival with wonder. Wanting to know why Ray looked as if she won. "No matter! Since no matter what card or monster you play, it won't do anything against a god like me!" He roared with a mighty dragon cry, claiming to be a divine deity.
"Yeah… You're right…" Ray had to agree with Zarc. Not a single card in her deck had the ability to destroy Zarc and his 4 heavenly dragons. But, that wasn't the case for a set of 5 cards made out of the most powerful monster in Duel Monsters. "Me and my Dogmatika card's have no chance against you and your monsters…"
"Ha! So you're finally admitting tha-"
"But! There's something I can't agree with!" Ray interrupted Zarc with a snarl as she was slowly getting back up. "And that is considering yourself as a god…" She paused as she directly narrowed at the demonic duelist in front of her. "You're no god… You're just a pathetic spoiled brat who's carving for attention, and nothing but a sad shadow of your former self."
"WHAT!?" Something in Zarc snapped by hearing that. "Lies! Nothing more than dumb lies to make you see superior to me!" He cursed at Ray Akaba, showing that despite his monstrous power, lied a weak and desperate child. "I am a god! The new evil demon god of destruction! AND I'LL DESTROY ABSULUTELY EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING YOU HOLD DEAR, YOU DAMN ANNYOING AND FUCKING BITCH OF A SLUT!"
"Tch… Touched a nerve there, haven't i?" Ray's expression turned out from a serious to a cocky and confident one while she crossed her arms. Zarc has been a hothead since the day they met. "Then… If you call yourself a god… Then what do you call this?" She asked the colossal dragon as she revealed a single Level 1 Normal Monster. But it wasn't any normal monster per say…
"What!? T-the Right Leg of the F-forbidden One!?" Zarc gasped in shock and horror, seeing that his opponent held one of the 5 pieces of the forbidden one. "Y-you must be bluffing! YOU ARE FUCKING BLUFFING!" Zarc began to realize what this meant. All those turns Ray was stalling, all those disruption effects, all those mind-games. She was holding him back from stopping her on summoning the only monster in the game even more powerful than himself.
Ray ignored the beginning of the Supreme King Dragon's mental breakdown as she revealed another card in her hand, resulting in the left leg of Exodia.
"STOP IT!" Zarc hissed Ray to stop. He was growing desperate about losing to Exodia, he wasn't able to think about something to counter this and prevent his destruction.
The Young Woman then showed the right hand.
"I TELL YOU TO STOP!"
She was next to reveal the Right hand.
"RAAAAAAAAAAAY!" Zarc began to unleash powerful soundwaves with his roars of anguish and desperations. These were so powerful, it destroyed the collapsing buildings around them and annihilated the skeletons and skulls of those fallen warriors who dared to defile Zarc.
"Zarc… It's over…" Ray whispered with a soft and calming tone as she was about to show the Left hand.
"AaHaghThaigshAahAHaHAaHhhhHhHGgG!" Zarc wailed another dragonic wail of pure wrath, wiping out the rest of the buildings that were left untouched. "I ACTIVATE MY CONTINUOUS TRAP! THE ETERNAL TYRANNY OF THE SUPREME KING!" After a long tantrum, Zarc quickly revealed his last resort to stop Ray for winning. He will give up everything just to taste victory. "IF I, THE SUPREME KING DRAGON Z-ARC IS ON THE FIELD ALONGSIDE MY EVERY-FAITHFUL DRAGONS, ALL MONSTERS WHO HAVE AN ATTACK EQUAL OR LOWER THAN ME OR MY DRAGONS HAVE THEIR EFFECTS NEGATED!" He shouted to reveal his Trap, hoping that it would be enough to stop the Forbidden One. "Since the head of Exodia has 1000 Attack and it's an effect monster, he will not come to help these pathetic fleas you try to protect due to Odd-Eyes also being an Effect monster! Can't you see, no Egyptian God, Kaiju, Hand-Trap or even Exodia is able to defeat me! I AM THE APEX OF ALL DRAGONS! I AM THE ULTIMATE LIFE FORM! I, AM GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!"
"You took the bait…" Ray only smirks.
"What?" Zarc's psychotic expression of God complexity quickly shifted into one of confusion on to why his opponent looked so smug, as if she won.
"I have to say, it was pretty smart of you to use The Tyranny of the Supreme King to stop me from playing Exodia." She had to compliment Zarc for being clever enough to use one of his most powerful Traps in order to stop Exodia. "No wonder the 2 of us are considered to be the pinnacle of dueling.
"Ha! I have to agree with that one!" Zarc said with malice. "BUT I AM NOW BEYOND THE MEANING OF PINNACLE! AS YOU ALREADY KNOW, MY DECK IS INVINCIBLE AND WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED! I AM NOW THE DUELING AND WHAT IT MEANS!"
"Humph… Invincible Deck… Sure thing." Ray responded with a tsch. "You know what I used to say, Zarc? No matter how many Attack points a monster has, no card is invincible." She pointed at the Supreme King Dragon, referring that any monster can be slain no matter what. "And your Deck is no exception. I was waiting for you to activate that Trap card right at this moment."
"Are you going to admit your defeat, or are you still clinging to that false sense of hope of yours?" Zarc was so self-consumed by his pride and arrogance, he still wasn't aware that his defeat was too close.
"I've seen your duels against everyone since your transformation Zarc, so i know all of your cards and strategies." Ray then pointed out that she could read the Supreme King Dragon's moves like an open book. "Sure, The Tyranny of the Supreme King is a powerful card by itself. but unfortunately, it comes with a massive backlash to its user. Have you read the effect of your trap completely?"
Feeling that she won't wash off that smug grin of her face, Zarc felt forced to read the effects of The Tyranny of the Supreme King. But once he took a good read, he jumped off out of terror.
"W-What!?" Zarc cried with a desperate voice. He wasn't aware that he could have lost sooner against those dueling try-hards blocking his way into destruction due to that negative downside his trap had. But soon after that, Zarc calmed himself and began to laugh "Ehehahaha… But still, even with that fatal effect, none were able to use it against me, as my power know no limits! My power comes from the desires from the darkness of people's hearts and my dragon's desires to destroy everything! This is the power of the 4 heavenly dragons and Supreme King Dragon Z-Arc!" He cherished as he roared alongside his 4 trusty dragons.
"Perhaps you're right… And I kinda feel sorry about you…" When Zarc admitted that one of his sources of power was the inner darkness of all humans, it made her feel downed, which made her shed a small tear through her face. "Still, this doesn't excuse all the evil you have commited ever since you started this violent culture in duels..." She clenched her fists, trying to hold her tears. She then stopped to take a deep breath so she could recover her cool. "Nevertheless…" She then proceeds to wipe the tear from her cheek, shifting her face into a serious and passionate one. "It may be too late for me to save you, but i can still save everyone else!" She took a stance and shouted to the heavens. "I ACTIVATE, MY FACE-DOWN CONTINUOUS SPELL, EN FLOWERS!" Ray declared, roaring a shout up to the heavens when she revealed one of her face-down bluff cards.
Once the spell that the Scientist created activated, it made one of Ray's 4 bracelets glew a pinkish light. The light of the bracelet spread through the ruins of the city, turning off all fires it could reach, and giving life once again to the withered plants and trees decimated by the apocalyptic dragons, decorating the city on a beautiful green garden of flowers and roses.
"Huh? Your face-down card was a spell all this time!? You cheating bastard!" Zarc's pride began to crumble down as he felt enraged that he was fooled by one of the oldest tricks in the mind games club. "But-But that won't stop me! I still have my dragons on my field to wipe out your Life Points, and what's left of you!"
"Yes… En Flowers is useless on its own." Ray admitted as she nodded her head. "En Flowers is one of the cards my father created to stop you. It channelizes the energy of nature, life and the good within humanity's heart. One of those goods is the bonds they forge and how they can overcome everything!" Ray then continued on. "It was essential for me to place my cards on the field without you finding out. So that's why i've been using a grand amount of traps and spells to slow your feet. And now with Exodia on hand, all the puzzle pieces of your defeat have been gathered!"
"What are you talking about!?"
"I activate my next Continuous Spell, En Birds!" She continued to activate her second En card. "I can only activate this spell if my graveyard has 3 or more Xyz monsters and En Flower's already on the field!"
"Huh? But i don't remember that you summoned more than 3 Xyz monst-" Zarc stopped once he realized why Ray was frantically sending her Extra Deck to her Graveyard with her Dogmatika cards.
"That's right! All this time, i've been using of my faithful companions, the Dogmatikas to set the seeds of your undoing!" She shouted as her Continuous Spell activated.
Once activated, another bracelet of Ray began to glow a bluish light. From it, the apparitions of 3 of Ray's Xyz monsters, those being DaiGusto Emerald, Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis and Bujintei Tsukuyomi rose up like a reborn phoenix, clearing the dark skies above them, and returning the sky into its clear, blue and hopeful state.
"The spirit of my monsters reborn like a beautiful phoenix, spreading their wings up the sky and becoming an eternal beacon of hope!" Ray chanted while Zarc saw how the 3 Xyz monsters brought hope back to the terrified people who were witnessing the fight. "When En Birds activates, it transforms all Xyz monsters on the field, graveyard and banished zone into Normal monsters, alongside negating its effects!" She announced with passion, as her 3 trustful Xyz monsters then fired a giant eagle made out of pure light against Dark Rebellion, causing the wicked dragon of darkness to roar as he was being stripped away from its effects.
"NO! IMPOSSIBLE!" Zarc watched his duel disc in terror as his Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon was transformed into a useless Normal monster, and he could do nothing about it, except watch.
"I now activate my next Continuous Spell, En Winds!" Ray announced as she flipped up her next En card. "I can only activate this card if I have 3 or more Synchro monsters in my Graveyard and En Birds activated on my field!" She exclaimed, while another one of her bracelets began to release a greenish light.
With it, the spirits of 3 of Ray's Synchro monsters showed themselves in front of the Supreme King Dragon. Those being Psy-Framelord Omega, Ally of Justice Catastor and Tri-Shula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier.
"The heavenly winds of Valhalla descend upon this land, cleansing it from all the evil plaguing the world with righteous gusts of cold air!" Ray declared, as winds as clear as ice began to overwhelm the battlefield. "When En Winds is activated, all Synchro monsters on the field, Graveyard and banished field are now turned into Normal monsters and have their effects negated!" She shouted, all while her Synchro monsters casted a strong winter wind against Clear Wing Synchro Dragon.
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon let out a roar of desperation, constantly flailing his serpentine body to liberate himself from the punishment of the winds, but nothing worked. He was stolen from his powers just like his brother in arms, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon.
"My dragons! They're weakening! NOOO!" The Supreme King Dragon was beginning to lose his mind. He didn't believe that he's being outsmarted.
"And now, i activate my final face-down card! En Moon!" Ray raised her fist high-up the sky to reveal the last card she had face-down. "I can activate this card by having 3 or more Fusion cards in my Graveyard and i have En Winds face up!" She declared her last card, making the last bracelet on her wrist glow a blue light, all while the spirits of the last 3 Fusion monsters made themselves seen by the Supreme King Dragon. Those being Elder Entity Norden, Elder Entity N'tss and Quinjet Magician
Above them, the moon began to shine in its full splendor. Its moonlight began to bath those who have fallen in battle from their wounds. All those affected by this suddenly woke up and wondered what happened.
"The goddess of the moon manifests upon this wretched world to forgive those in need of salvation and punish those who are beyond from it!" Ray then pointed her finger up for Zarc to look up, showing her 3 Fusion monsters' silhouettes on the full-moon.
The 3 divinities pointed their staffs and tridents against the Fusion dragon below them, and then unleashed a gigantic lunar laser against the fiendish dragon, unleashing a powerful draconic roar in the process as his powers began to diminish.
"No no no no NO!" Zarc constantly slammed his grey and devilish fists over the sides of the chest of his giant dragon body. "Ugh! B-but it won't matter! I am treated as a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and as a standard effect monster! So me and my Odd-Eyes Dragon won't be shackled by you!" He barked, since he's also an effect monster, he's unaffected by the 3 En cards.
"Since when i wanted to negate your effect?." Ray then assured him that he wasn't his target. "With all the conditions fulfilled, i can activate En Flower's effect!" She declared, causing her 4 bracelets to shine even stronger with their multi-color lights. "The mother earth returns to her realm, giving life to that which has perished and withered with her benevolent hand of salvation!" She exclaimed with passion as she began to be surrounded by a circle of beautiful flowers.
The flowers spread towards Zarc's field and began to overwhelm his 4 dragons. Little by little, the poor dragon began to be drowned by the beautiful flowers, until being transformed into plant statues of the former monster.
"By having En Birds, En Winds and En Moon on my field, i can negate any number of monsters on the field, negate their effects and then destroy them!" Ray shouted to the skies the effect of her card.
All the while, the dragons now turned into bush statues began to shake. cracks began to sprout among their leafy bodies and energy was being unleashed from those cracks, all until…
BOOM!
The 4 dragons detonated one by one on a magistral explosion, leaving a hail of lustrous petals falling over the city.
"Tch…" Zarc clicked his tongue in frustration. "No matter. I can revive my 4 dragons next turn."
"Unfortunately, The Tyranny of the Supreme King says otherwise." Ray smirked in satisfaction. "When your field doesn't have any Fusion, Xyz, or Synchro monsters left, not only does your Trap self-destruct, but also it banishes your dragons from the game!" She declared, managing to trick Zarc.
From behind the colossal dragon Zarc, a dark and gigantic portal opened behind the dragon.
"What the?" The Supreme King Dragon wondered about the hole of darkness behind him while a sweat dropped through his cheeks.
Slowly and slowly, the black vortex began to succion everything like a giant vacuum cleaner, until its intensity was comparable to a black hole.
From it, Zarc's 4 dimensional dragon appeared just to be sucked inside the black rift. The dragons roared in desperation, trying to outrun the black hole that was trying to pull them in. But no matter how much they tried, their fates were sealed as the 4 were now banished into the dark portal right before disappearing.
"MY DRAGONS! COME BACK! NOOOO!" Zarc extended his hand in hopes of rescuing his dragons, but it was already too late. Feeling heartbroken that he was separated from his closest monsters, he slowly began to turn his sight toward Ray, having his soul fully consumed by his rage. "How, dare you… HOW DARE YOU!" Zarc bellowed with full rage. He wasn't just angry, he was straight up Pissed off. "HOW COULD YOU SEPARATE ME FROM MY 4 DRAGON! I'LL AVENGER EVERY ONE LAST OF THEM BY DESTROYING YOU IN THIS DUEL AND THEN EVERYTHING THAT COMES AFTER!"
"Unfortunately, your rampage stops here." Ray narrowed at the gray-haired young adult that took the form of a godly dragon. "Since The Tyranny of the Supreme King has been destroyed, I can activate the effects of my monsters once again!" She declared, which made the Supreme King Dragon twitch. "Now witness, as I unleash a monster like no other! A creature with such an unlimited power, he had to be sealed to prevent the world's destruction!" Ray began to chant as she held the 5 pieces of Exodia to the sky right after setting them on her duel disc. "I summon a monster that surpasses even the gods themselves!"
With all her spirit put into her chant, Ray was able to call forth the terrifying Exodia. From her behind, a gigantic circle in the shape of a pentagram appeared, unbounding a dark and unstoppable aura.
Prooft!
From the right triangle of the pentagram, arose a gigantic arm, bearing a bracelet with broken shackles, signifying that the Forbidden one has been unleashed to wreak havoc upon the world.
Croft!
The left arm of Exodia didn't wait to appear alongside the right arm. Inside the veins and soul of Zarc, he was experiencing a feeling he hasn't felt ever since he became the undisputable king of games. Fear!
"COME FORTH! EXODIA THE FORBIDDEN ONE!" Ray shouted a victory roar through the heavens to invoque Exodia, the forbidden one in all of its glory and splendor.
The titanic monster from Egypt appeared in full body from the seal he was imprisoned in. He towered the building around him like the unstoppable titan he is. Now nothing can stop him from granting Ray Akaba victory, not even Zarc on his full power.
The Scientist just arrived in time to witness the grand victory the young woman was about to take with the unlimited power of exodia. He tried to chase after her for her to continue on living, yet the Young Woman stole away the En cards he was about to use. "Ray! RAY!" The Scientist bellowed with all the strength his lungs could offer him, but his voice felt feeble as Ray had already set her mind.
It was impossible. He couldn't reach her lovely daughter without drawing the Supreme King Dragon's attention. He would fear that the monster he created would use him to persuade her from giving up. But nevertheless, he felt a sense of pride of seeing Ray defeating Zarc and ending this nightmare for god, and also a feeling of failure and disappointment on himself as he felt that he should have been the one to end the demon duelist.
"A-a-aaah! E-exodia! It's not possible! N-no one has been able to summon him for hundreds of years!" Zarc trembled in pure fear as he felt humiliated and powerless against the titan of unspeakable power in front of his eyes.
All while Exodia was charging his ultimate attack with righteous light, the powers of the flowers, the moon, the winds and the bird were being absorbed by Ray Akaba with her 4 Bracelets, fueling her with enormous amounts of energy.
Zarc has reached his breaking point as his roars became even stronger than before. "N-no! NO! I WON'T DIE LIKE THIS! IF US, THE ONES THAT BECAME ONE CAN'T FULFILL THE MASSES DESIRES FOR DESTRUCTION, I'LL SPLIT MYSELF AND THIS BLASTED WORLD IN 4 SO THEY CAN REUNITE ONCE AGAIN AND DESTROY EVERYTHING!" On his last dying words, Zarc made one last desperate attempt to prolong his existence. The mighty dragon's roar was so potent, it began to break reality itself. Thousands, if not millions of cracks in the sky were beginning to sprout over the sky, with the sole intention of collapsing all of time and space.
"If you're going to split yourself into 4, then so i will." After hearing the Supreme King Dragon's last resort plot. She decided to also use the power absorbed within her to split her existence into 4, and prevent the fragments of Zarc from reuniting and revive himself. "If your fragments will swear to terrorize or corrupt those new 4 worlds of yours with your malice, my 4 fragments will be there to stop you!" She swore that she's willing to throw her life away to prevent Zarc from resurrecting.
"DIIIIIEEEE!" When the dimensions were about to collapse and separate, Zarc unleashed one final energy dragon breath with all of his power that remained on him, hoping to at least have a slight chance against Exodia.
Ray Akaba saw the blast coming through her direction. She was ready to embrace her life's end. She then closed her eyes to meditate and remember all the happy times she shared with both her father and Zarc. "Zarc, I know it's too late for the 2 of us to consolidate. I admit that I'm as much to blame for not being there for you... But, if you're really going to split the world in 4, then I hope that our 4 fragments will be able to experience a better life than the ones we had." She finished speaking to herself. As she opened her eyes, she looked back to see her father. "Father…" She called the Scientist attention, which in return, he looked up. "Please live a good life…" With tears in her eyes and with a warm smile, she said her final goodbyes to her dad and this world.
Right after that, she recovered her serious and confident stance. "Exodia…" She slowly raised her hand to command her colossal and invincible monster.
"ROOOAAAAR!" Zarc roared one last time as he felt that his dragons were begining to defuse from himself.
"OBLIRERATEEEEEEE!"
With one unstoppable beam of pure and raw power, Exodia manifested all of his infinite strength against the Supreme King Dragon's breath, disintegrating it in an instant.
"GhGhraAaH!" Zarc wailed in agony as he felt his body being destroyed and separated by Exodia's attack while everything was beginning to be devoured by a white void of pure light. "Curse you… CURSE YOU!" With his final breath, Zarc crushed Ray and this world before he, the Young Woman and the world would then be separated in 4.
With it, the universe that has been one for so long has separated into 4 worlds based around a summoning method.
Xyz
Synchro
Fusion
and Standard
But this separation of worlds also brought major consequences. As Zarc said, his existence has been shattered into 4 people representing both a good trait and a bad one, alongside the 4 bearing one of the four dragons based on what dimension they ended up. This was also the case for Ray Akaba who has been reincarnated into 4 girls, each one of them holding one of her bracelets to prevent the Supreme King Dragon's pieces from becoming one again.
With it, Zarc scheme also destroyed the timelines into an almost-unfixable state. Many Legendary Duelists from the past have also reincarnated into these timelines, despite being alive or not. All of them had their past memories altered and none remember anything before this calamity, being now replaced with fake ones to accommodate their designated dimension. It was total chaos, as the world now was stuck on a pocket dimension where time and space don't mean anything anymore.
And, as for the Scientist…
(On a certain island/Somewhere in the Southern Japan coast/Fusion Dimension)
The Fusion Dimension is home to the Fusion Summon. Perhaps one of the oldest summoning methods in the history of Duel Monsters, alongside Ritual and Tribute summon. Unlike the other dimensions, the Fusion Dimension is home to not only Legendary Duelists that have gotten their game on, but also home to Legendary Duelists such as the King of Games and other legends.
Far in the vast ocean of Southern Japan, there's an island where they train duelists to become the pro-duelists of tomorrow. It's name was Academia, which was both created and founded by young multi-millionaire C.E.O. Seto Kaiba from Kaiba Corp. Known to be one of the strongest duelists to ever exist.
The Structure of the Academia took inspiration from castles of yore, with solid concrete walls and dorms and classrooms to keep thousands students. Though, the aura of the once-cheerful school has been long gone, being now replaced with one of uncertainty and dread.
Deep inside the castle walls of the institution, lies a throne room where the director of the school resides. The throne room was occupied by none other than the Scientist, Leo Akaba of the Original Dimension. Though, he changed through the years ever since her daughter gave her life to save everyone from the apocalypse. For starters, he appeared to be older, signifying that a lot of time has passed ever since that incident, the middle-aged man lost all of his hair and had some sort of metallic device attached to his head. Also, he wore a purple militaristic attire alongside a long and menacing cape.
"Professor!" A deep voice came from the other side of the giant gate of the throne room. "I ask your permission to inform you about today's reports."
"Permission granted." Akaba grants access to the person behind the door as the entrance to the throne room opens automatically.
The one that had the news today was a guy who appeared to be a soldier. The person in question had a military uniform consisting of black boots, a white suit that covers all of the lower body to the stomach, a blue jacket with golden epaulettes on each shoulder and a silver mask that bears similarity to the Egyptian God Obelisk the Tormentor that covers most of his face. The soldier walked through the carpet of the throne room to meet face-to-face with the Professor and absolute ruler of the Academia. "Obelisk Force member of the yellow division, reporting in!" The person then saluted the scientist by holding his fist through his chest like the usual soldier salute.
"Excellent. Nothing I can't expect from my elite soldiers, my Obelisk Force." Leo Akaba smirked at the loyalty his special troops of the Obelisk Force had to him from his throne.
By some unknown means, Leo Akaba has taken total control over the entirety of the Academia, rechristen it as his new base of operation for his new devious machinations. At first, he was postulated as vice-chancellor of the campus, until the former chancellor of the Academia alongside Seto Kaiba went M.I.A. From that point on, the Professor took total control over not only the Academia, but also all of Kaiba Corp with the former president's disappearance, in hopes of using its infinite resources and dueling technologies to fund his twisted ambitions.
As for Academia, it changed for the worse from that point on. The institute was no longer about teaching young duelists to become the pros of tomorrow, but into a harsh and cruel boot-camp that trains young Duels into becoming sadistic Dueling Soldiers to invade and spy the other dimensions. Even though some of the old staff still remained in the academia, a lot of the personnel and teachers who were against Leo's ideals also disappeared by unknown means. The Professor then hired and recruited a lot of very questionable people to do his bidding, from inhumanely-harsh instructors, cold-blooded dueling mercenaries and even more people only he and his most trusted comrades know about their existance.
"I thank you for your compliment, professor." The Obelisk member said with pride. The Obelisk Force is considered to be the Elite of the Elite among all students of the Academia. This special task force were all nothing more than evil and immoral sadists that enjoyed seeing their victims squirm and suffer, much like how the people of the Original Dimension were back then. "If I may ask you, I'm wishing to show you the information of today."
"You have my permission." Leo Akaba nodded. "Begin with the status of the girls we're searching for." He ordered his loyal minion to show him the progress for the search of the scattered pieces of her precious daughter. "Have our branches and spies from the other dimensions found anything about them and their location?" He asked if one of his many spies scattered amongst the dimensions had any information about the whereabouts of the scattered pieces of the girls bearing the bracelets of her now long daughter.
"Sir." He obeyed the order as he scrolled down a digital tablet he brought with him and searched the data gathered today. The Obelisk soldier then used one of the projectors on the throne room on the roof to give a better explanation of today's information with a 3d hologram. "Beginning with our agents in the Synchro Dimensions, they have discovered the identity of the girl you're searching for." He then took a zoom to a girl who was one of a rural and poor district who had a similar face to Ray Akaba, but what differentiated her from her original counterpart was her greenish hair and the fact that she looked younger than Ray. "Her name is Rin, and she's on the commoners status of the Synchro Dimensions. And fortunately, analysis shows us that neither Roget nor his Sector Security has found any traces of her."
"Excellent." The Professor smirked. "Remind me to leave him to me. I have thought about certain ways to punish his treachery against the Academia." He reminded his minion that when the time to invade the Synchro dimension comes, he will be the one who takes care about Roget.
"Unfortunately, none of our allies in both Standard and Xyz have located the other girls you're looking for, Professor." The Obelisk reported while sliding to the other parts of his exposition.
"I see…" Leo said with disappointment. But he had to be patient, so he couldn't let his primal impulses get the best out of him. Otherwise, his entire plan he's doing will be for naught. "I'm guessing they have neither located the parts of the demon duelist."
The Obelisk shook his head to confirm the professor's assumptions.
"Very well then." Leo nodded. "Any information about the new batch of students?"
"Yes sir." The Obelisk was next scrolling the list of all the new students that were going to enroll to the Academia and be converted into more Duel Soldiers to support the Scientist's twisted plans. "Reports have informed us that we're having 100 new freshmen arriving to the Academia from all parts of the globe Professor. We've analyzed any data about the records of the new students and we're happy to announce that all of them are at least more skilled than the average duelist." The Obelisk then gave the Professor his tablet for him to scroll down the list of new freshmen, that varied from different ages and nationalities, but all were young with the oldest kid being like 24 or 25.
Leo continued to see the info of the upcoming soldiers, and most of them didn't catch his attention. But cannon fodder is cannon fodder, nonetheless. Well, that's until he came across the file of a peculiar boy.
Name: Keita "Nate Adams" Amano
Age: 16
Home Town: Springdale, Japan
Dueling percentage: 60%
"Hmm… How interesting…" The Professor began to grin maliciously. "So this boy comes from Springdale, Japan."
"Anything bothering you, Professor?" The Obelisk asked with some confusion.
"It says that this kid comes from Springdale, right?" Leo Akaba rested his head over his knuckle standing over one of the armchairs of his throne. "If you already forgot, we were studying about the entities known as Yo-Kai, and how we could use them to expand our plans even further beyond." The Professor reminded the soldier that he and his servants were studying about the Yo-Kai, spiritual ghosts that have been theorized to be the responsibles for everyday events and gatherings, including phenomenons that science can't understand yet.
"Hmm…" The Obelisk held his fingers on his chin to remember. "Now that I remember, I think this could be of your interest, Professor." The Obelisk took back his tablet to take some footage of the boy.
Once the Professor took a better look, he was surprised at what Nathan had on his wrist. "Is that a… A Yo-Kai Watch…" Leo widens his eyes by the discovery he made. He read almost anything related to Yo-Kai from books to media articles on the internet to see if those spirits were real. At first when he heard about them, he denied their existence, or just thought that they were something like Duel Spirits. But once he dived deeper, he found more legit evidence. Most of all, if he wanted to use these ghosts for his nefarious plans, he needed some sort of device like a Yo-Kai Watch. A Wrist-Watch-Like artifact who not only gave its wearer the ability to see Yo-Kai who remain invisible to the human eye, but also summon them to where you are. And to think he hit the jackpot today. "Hmm… There's no denying that his dueling percentage is average at best, but I think some training and teaching in the Academia could fix that." They began to think about how he could use the kid. "Perhaps, he could be the last key to finish my ambitions, and perhaps be the ultimate weapon to defeat that damn Demon Duelist if he shows his face again. Perhaps I need to take care of that boy as if he were one of Ray's fragments." He snickered for a few seconds before standing up. "Inform the personnel and all students of Academia to prepare themselves for the arrival of the new students. We must welcome them as proud soldiers that shall partake to our noble cause to create the perfect utopia with the power of Fusion!" He ordered his lackey by extending his hand.
"Sir! Glory to the Academia!" The Obelisk saluted before walking away from the throne room, closing the door while doing so.
Now all alone, Leo sat again on his throne, massaging his now veiny and bald head. Commanding the entire Academia can be pretty stressful, but it all will end sooner or later.
He got up once again and began to walk to a window that was behind his seat, watching how it glowed a greenish light. "It seems that my plans are going just as I expected. Without any flaws whatsoever." He said with satisfaction and with a smirk on his face. "Soon, all these mistakes of nature shall cease to exist and everything shall return to its flawless state, all thanks to my beautiful Machine, Arc-V." The Professor watched from the peek of the window of his throne room his ultimate solution to unite all dimensions that Zarc once divided.
His solution was a gigantic Machine Reactor located in the very center of the Academia. Using the power of Fusion and the prey his brave Fusion Warriors will soon hunt, he will harvest the souls of the prey to unify the dimensions once again. And if that wasn't crazy enough, the machine was powered up by nothing more than one of the most powerful artifacts ever crafted in history. All of the Millenium Items which his Obelisk Force managed to collect by defiling the tomb of the nameless Pharaoh were on the center of the Arc-V Machine, powering up the cataclysm that endangers the world.
Leo then looked in one of the pockets of his purple suit that imposed fear and respect upon his subjects to pull off a photo of him and Ray when she was just a child, holding the card of Polymerization in her hands. "Don't worry... I promise you as a father, that I shall cleanse myself from my past sins by fixing all of this mess I started. Then, once you're back, we can live the life Zarc took away from us. Just wait a little longer, my dear Ray…" He said with melancholy, promising that he will put Ray back together by merging the dimensions once again. The sorrow was such, he couldn't contain it, as one of his tears fell off the photo.
Back with the Obelisk Force Soldier that exited the gates of the throne room, he looked around to see if there were any bystanders. For his luck, no other Academia goon, nor vigilance camera was watching him.
"Damn… This is worse than I imagined." The Obelisk grunted with desperation, sounding like he was worried that the professor was about to put his dreadful plans into motion. The Obelisk then took off his mask, which released his long dark-bluish hair, which also covered his right eye. A sky-blue scarf with 2 dragons made out of pure spiritual energy began to appear, covering his neck and mouth before he would pull a hand-size mirror from his hand. "This is Venoct from the Academia to Zazel. The Professor has Nathan in his sight, and it won't be long until he gets him in his grasp." Venoct, the Yo-Kai from the Slippery tribe contacted someone from his Pocket Mirapo. Thanks to some human leaves that allows him to take the form of a human, he infiltrated the ranks of the Academia as an Obelisk Force Soldier to spy over the professor and see any ways for him and his allies to stop him. "Think you can call everyone to the Enma Palace?"
From that, Venoct used the Pocket Mirapo on his hand to vanish himself from the Fusion Dimension and return to the Yo-Kai World.
(Enma's Palace/Yo-Kai World/Fusion Dimension)
The Yo-Kai World… Home to the mischievous supernatural beings known as Yo-Kai. Some might consider it to be the afterlife of the Fusion Dimension since some Yo-Kai are the reincarnation of living beings that have sadly passed away, manifestation of emotions and even inanimate objects.
Though, the Fusion Dimensions is the only one of the 4 split dimensions that has a Yo-Kai World. There isn't another Yo-Kai World on the other 3 dimensions, nor Yo-Kai that exists, except for dimensions that are apart from the 4 summoning methods dimensions, but that's another can of worms that's better kept unopened.
On the Yo-Kai World, there's a gigantic oriental palace with a gigantic japanese kanji for King, where the ruler of the afterlife and all Yo-Kai resides. The young, yet benevolent and brave Lord Enma, current king and descendant of the all-powerful Enma Tribe.
The Enma Tribe is considered to be one of the most powerful Tribes in Yo-Kai history, with its members being generations old, carrying the duty to watch over the balance between the Yo-Kai and human world. But now, thanks to Leo Akaba's ambitions, that balance was about to break to pieces.
Inside the walls of the mighty palace, there was a gigantic round table with all of its seats being taken from Yo-Kai representatives from all the Yo-Kai World. This was the official Yo-Kai conference room, a room where a council of the most powerful and important Yo-Kai discussed topics that could endanger both the Yo-Kai and Human world. The Young Lord Enma founded this council after he and a group of humans (which included Nate and Katie, Yo-Kai Watch 4 Spoilers :P) managed to stop the Overseer, an entity as powerful as him, from destroying the world.
Alot of Yo-Kai were discussing how they could fight against the Academia, before their foolishness could create the revival of the Supreme King Dragon Zarc.
On one of the seats, there was the ruler of the Yo-Kai, Lord Enma. He looked young like a guy in his late teens or early twenties, had spiky blonde hair and wore the traditional royal attire. He was trying to find a way to stop Leo Akaba without endangering the existence of his people to the wicked man. And by the way, Lord Enma's quite considered a hottie amongst the Yo-Kai World.
"Lord Enma, I've come with terrible news. I request admission to enter." The voice of Venock echoed behind the door to the conference room.
"Yippee… As if things couldn't get any worse than they already are…" One of the participants of the conference grunted a bit frustrated while resting his head over his shoulder. The participant in question wore a traditional japanese getup and had brown hair, with a very long ponytail that reached to his knees. He was Toadal Dude, a Classic Yo-Kai and leader of the faction of the Fleshy Souls.
The door opened, revealing Venoct who floated his way to take a seat amongst the other Yo-kai. "Apologizes for being late, but I had to inform you all about something. Something very bad…"
"Let me guess, did Leo Akaba manage to discover a way to use the Egyptian God Cards or something?" A woman who wore a winter kimono, had blue hair with a ponytail and wore a pair of red glasses asked with disinterest as she had her attention on scrolling on her smartphone. She was Blizzie, or better known as Blizzaria. She was elected to be the representative of the Blasters association, a group dedicated to save and help weak Yo-Kai from evil Yo-Kai, despite only being the secretary of the team.
"Fortunately, that's not the case." Venoct clarified that it wasn't such a thing. "Though, i've doubt that the news I'm carrying will be better whatsoever."
"So, are you gonna tell us Venny, or do you want me to spoil it for everyone else? Hihihi!" Asked another Yo-kai who looked like a ballerina with cheerfulness. She was Spoilerina, one of the Legendary Yo-Kai from the Charming Tribe. A Yo-Kai with the powerful ability to inspirit other people to spoil the big twists of movies, stories and video games to others.
Venoct looked at the Legendary Yo-Kai with dread before taking a deep breath. "I've been informed that Nate has unfortunately been accepted to be part of the Academia."
Once he delivered the bad news, the entire room gasped, all except for Lord Enma who was still thinking about how to fight the Professor and the Academia.
"W-what! N-nyo way! How could the honorable Nyate be accepted to that place full of meownsters!? Nyan!" Shouted a small blue kitten who wore the armor of a samurai with fright. He was Shogunyan, another Legendary Yo-Kai of the Brave Tribe and ancestor to Jibanyan.
"Grrr! Dammit! Just when he could be our only hope, those damn bastards had to take his ass to their blasted school!" Snarled another human-like Yo-Kai who wore classical japanese clothes of the color purple and had a hairstyle reminiscent of a spider. He was Arachnus, another Classic Yo-kai and leader of the faction of the Bony Spirits.
"Gnnrr… Well, this is gonna be a big problem for us." Another Yo-Kai who had the look of a humanoid shark with glasses grunted, feeling that they were cornered. He was Steve Jaws, one of the C.E.O's of the biggest Yo-Kai technology company Yopple, and inventor of some of the Yo-Kai Watch models.
"Phew… we are truly passing trhough desperate times, my colleagues." Sighted a human elderly man who had a monocle on his right eye with slight despair. He was Mr Goodsight, the owner of a watch shop at Springdale named Times & More which also specializes in fixing and upgrading all sorts of clocks, including Yo-Kai Watches. He's in fact a Yo-Kai, but he mostly disguises as a human to blend in and take care of his shop.
"Well, unfortunately Nathan was our last human friend we could count on. Neither can we can't count on Hailey having to go on a family vacation with her family and Katie has been pretty busy with her college admission exams." Added another humanoid fish Yo-Kai that was a killer whale. His name was Marc Orcaberg, another one of the C.E.O's of Yopple and a good accuantince to Steve Jaws.
"Y-you have to say something Lord Enma! You can't stand there just thinking and not saying a single word!" Another humanoid Yo-Kai told his lord to say something as he was worried. He had grey skin and bore quite the handsome looks of a top-tier hot guy as he was considered one of the most handsome Yo-Kai, being followed by Dandoodle and Casanuva. He wore quite the sinister and dark robe and had a skeleton staff in hand and he also had long silver hair, which could cause someone to confuse him as Sephiroth. He was Zazel, the Chairman of the Yo-Kai World and Enma's advisor and also closest friend. Despite the description and some questionable acts, Zazel heart didn't have any malice whatsoever, despite being part of the Shady tribe.
"Hmmm… It's hard, Zazel." The ruler of the Yo-Kai had to admit he was trying to think about something. "As much as I want to take matters into my own hands, I cannot interfere right now with the human world. That's what the professor wants. He wants to find the world and use it as energy for his Arc-V machine. And worse, we could kickstart Zarc's resurrection."
At that moment, one of Toadal Dude's crazy ideas came to his head. "Hey! How about we ask for help from those kids from the future? Or better yet! We go back in time, and break the Professor's kneecaps when he's just a defenseless baby." He asked with passion to another participant who also was from the Enma Tribe. He had blue hair and wore a white royal attire and was perhaps just as if not older than Enma.
"I'm afraid I cannot do that, Dude." The future ruler of the Yo-kai World had to decline the Classic Yo-Kai's idea. His name was Lord Anata, and he ruled the Yo-kai World in the distant future. "As much as I want to ask help from Natsume and the others, we cannot toy with time, as the dimensions are becoming more unstable due to Leo Akaba putting his plan into motion. So the usage of Miradoxes and other methods of time travel are off-limits until further notice." he had to tell them that time traveling was off the table for now.
"Nreow… So this is it? Are we done for?" A cat Yo-Kai who wore a purple robe said with worry and dread while his paws and leg were trembling. He was Aristocat, one of Zazel's apprentices and who's duty is to help Lord Enma on his rule. "A-are we all just gonna end up turned into cards?"
"Card… Cards! CARDS! THAT'S IT!" Enma's Light Bulb turned on before slamming his fist down one of the palms. "I think I know just the way to defeat the Professor without endangering the dimensional borders even further!"
"W-with a children's card game? Are you serious, your highness?" Another one of the present Yo-Kai asked with some confusion. He had a blue-tight superhero costume and also a mask to accompany a cape made out of pure water. He was Silver Lining, leader of the Yo-Kai Superhero team
"I mean, it could be a viability considering how weird and fantastic this world is, am i right Lining?" A female Yo-Kai who wore a red superhero costume told Silver Lining while winking. She was Little Charrmer, another Yo-Kai Superhero who also led her own squad of Superhero Yo-Kai.
"Hmm… Perhaps Lord Enma is right." Anata got up from his seat, clarifying that he has faith in the present ruler's plan. "If we take for consideration that conflict was resolved with games during Ancient Egypt and somehow most world-ending conflicts were resolved with it, perhaps we can defeat the Academia on their own game before they cause the Supreme King Dragon's return."
"But even if that's the case, how are we supposed to fight those goons if we can't leave the Yo-Kai World, my Lord?" A blue dog who wore a yellow robe asked Enma how he would use Duel Monsters to fight Leo and the Academia. He was Duke Droggy, and he was also one of Zazel's apprentices.
"Isn't it obvious?" Enma turned with a hopeful and confident smile. "We have Nate's help. All we need to do is to give him special cards for him to use. And with our help, we could stop the Professor from inside the Academia."
"That's… Actually a clever plan, your Majesty." Steve Jaws pointed out that this crazy plan can actually work. "Though, there's one problem. Since we can't really leave the Yo-Kai World in fear that the Academia could find a way to enter, how are we supposed to communicate with Nate then?"
"Hmm… Now that you think about it…" Enma had to agree that Steve Jaws had a point. "But, I still believe in him. After all, he has loyal friends that can keep him on the right path. And perhaps we can help him indirectly." he walked to see the window from behind his seat, thinking about how Jibanyan and Whisper will always be there for Nate if he ever needs help. He looked back at the council with a stern and serious face. "Well, I don't have the right to take away my subject's freedom to visit the Yo-Kai World, but from now on, I have to limit how much time Yo-Kai can visit the human world until further notice." He informed me that he will limit how much time Yo-Kai can visit the human world until the Academia problem is fixed. "You're all dismissed, and I thank you all for your participance."
Once the other Yo-kai left the Palace, it was only Enma and his men. He quickly turned to see his trustful friend Zazel and held his shoulder. "Zazel, you're in charge of the Yo-Kai World until I return." He gave his advisor the position of ruler as he was changing appearance to his human one he uses to visit the human world.
"What? Why are you going to the Human World now, my lord? You know that it's dangerous out there, even for you!" Zazel, being like a worried parent, was worried that Enma would be captured by the Academia.
"Don't worry, do you remember who I am? I'm Lord Enma. I've faced worse things than a nutty human professor." Enma assured his closest friend that he will be alright. Though, he had to admit that it was quite unbelievable that a mere human could be one of the biggest threats he has faced thus far. "Well, I'm off to visit Pegasus personally."
