"Hey guys, where is Shun?" Yuto asked as he signaled Ruri to get off of him.
"He's going to make sure his and Ruri's parents are safe." Rio told him.
"He was really worried about you. Where did you go?" Shark asked.
"I went to go get my Deck. I already got it, but then one of those giants tried to shoot me." Yuto said as he got back on his feet.
"Let's go guys." Kaito rushed.
"Wait." Yuto retorted with a hint of sadness and started looking around. He saw a Card lying on the ground, the Card he dropped when Ruri tackled him. He picked up the Card.
"Who's is that?" Allen asked.
Yuto didn't respond and he kept staring at the Card. Sayaka noticed Yuto started to clench the fist that didn't have the Card.
"It's my fault!" Yuto yelled as the memory of his father getting Carded appeared in his head, he also remembered blacking out but he didn't think much about it cause of what happened.
"Yuto, what do you… Oh my god!" Ruri yelled as she saw the Carded person. It was Ryon, Yuto's father. Now that she thought about it, she swore she heard Yuto yelling before they met up. Yuto was probably mourning his father.
"Yuto… I'm so sorry." Ruri said as she stepped closer to Yuto while putting one hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
"Don't worry about it. It's not your fault. It was mine. I could have stopped the Carding. I could have helped someone. I could have saved my FATHER!" Yuto exclaimed as more tears came down his face.
"Yuto..." Ruri whispered as tears were coming into her eyes.
"We'll find a way to reverse the Carding." Kaito told Yuto. However, he gasped when he heard Yuto's response.
"HOW! HOW CAN WE FIND A WAY TO REVERSE THE CARDING. WE'RE BEING UTTERLY ANNIHILATED! HOW CAN I HELP PEOPLE AND RESTORE HEARTLAND TO PEACE IF I CAN'T SAVE ONE PERSON! LET ALONE MY FATHER! ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE TO ME IN MY LIFE! IF I CAN'T SAVE THE ONES CLOSET TO ME, THEN HOW CAN I SAVE OTHERS!" Yuto yelled at the top of his lungs with anger clear on his face.
Kaito couldn't blame him. After all, if that happened to his family, he wouldn't know what he would do. He would go out of control and lose himself. However, Shun had a different feeling.
Shark walked up to Yuto and punched so hard in the face he fell to the ground. Yuto yelled out in pain as Ruri gasped at the sudden attack.
"Ryoga!" Rio yelled.
"Wake up Yuto!" Shark yelled as he grabbed Yuto by the collar and picked him up. "Sure you couldn't save your dad, but that doesn't mean you quit! We WILL find a way to reverse the Carding and return Heartland to normal. I swear to you, on my life, we WILL find a way. Besides, you said YOU can't save people. But, what about all of us, and other people?" Shark asked.
Yuto gasped. How could he be so stupid, he wasn't alone. His friends were with him all the way. He could always count on them to have his back and they could count of him to have their backs. That's what friends do, they look out for each other.
"You're right. Thanks Shark. I needed that. I have you guys with me. I was so stupid to think I was alone." Yuto said.
"Whatever happens, we will be with you." Sayaka told Yuto.
"What they said! We got your back!" Allen told Yuto as he gave him a thumbs up.
"Alright. Let's go." Rio said. However, as Yuto tried to walk he started to fall. Thankfully, Shark used his fast reflexes to catch him. Shark and the others had a concerned look on their face.
"Damn! He's unconscious." Shark cursed.
"Well, carry him. We need to go find Shun." Kaito told him.
Another Area in Heartland
Shun:100 LP
Blue student: 4000 LP
Red student: 4000 LP
Shun had nothing on his field. He had 1 Card in his Hand and no Cards on the field. Both students had no Cards in their Hand and they both had an Ancient Gear Chaos Giant on the field.
"Give up." The blue student said.
"Yeah! There is no way you can win!" The red student exclaimed.
"Give up? No, I will never give up. I WILL win. My turn, draw!" Shun looked at the Card, it was just what he needed.
"I Summon Raidraptor - King's Lanius." Shun said.
King's Lanius: Level 4, 1300 Atk, 650 Def
"I use it's effect to Special Summon Raidraptor - Retrofit Lanius!" Shun yelled.
Retrofit Lanius: Level 4, 800 Atk, 1200 Def
"Retrofit Lanius can be treated as two Monsters when used in an Xyz Summon. I use my two Level 4 Retrofit Lanius and my King's Lanius to overlay! Obscured falcon, raise your sharpened talons in front of adversity, spread your wings of rebellion! Xyz Summon! Appear! Rank 4! Raid Raptors - Rise Falcon!" Shun chanted as he slapped his Card onto the Duel Disk. His ace Monster appeared to the field.
Rise Falcon: Rank 4, 100 Atk, 2000 Def
"Only 100 Attack? You must be out of your mind." The blue student mocked. However, he lost his smile when Shun kept going.
"I use Rise Falcon's effect, by detaching an overlay unit, it gains Attack equal to the Attack of all Special Summoned Monster's that you control!" Shun yelled.
"What!" The red student yelled.
Rise Falcon: 100-9100 Atk
"But! There are two of us. On our next turn we wi…" The blue student was interrupted by Shun.
"There won't be another turn for you bastards. Raidraptor - Rise Falcon, can attack every Special Summoned Monster you control!" Shun yelled.
"Unbelievable!" The red student yelled as he and the other student started to take a step back.
"GO! Rise Falcon! Tear all of our enemies to shreds! BRAVE CLAW REVOLUTION!" Shun yelled as Rise Falcon zipped through both Chaos Giants, destroying them. Both students were yelling as they were flying back.
Both students: 4000-0 LP
"TIme you taste what it feels like for the people of Heartland to become Cards!" Shun yelled as he walked over to both Duelists and took of one of their Duel Disks. Shun pressed a button, and a purple light was shone, both students were covered in it. Then, 2 Cards were seen falling to the ground. Shun picked up the Cards and took them with him.
Shun then looked out into the battlefield. Why did these strangers attack us? Shun saw something, he saw people running towards him. He recognized them as his friends. He saw Yuto being carried, and immediately started running towards them.
Later
"Are you guys alright?" Shun asked.
"Yeah. Yuto fell unconscious but other than that he is fine." Allen told him.
"Well… physically he is fine…" Kaito trailed off.
"Emotionally…" Shark trailed off.
"No." Sayaka finished.
"Why? What happened?" Shun asked with concern.
"His father was Carded on front of him, and he blames himself for it. He almost lost all hope. But thanks to Shark, we avoided that" Ruri informed. Upon hearing this, Shun gasped, Yuto was ready to give up? That wasn't like him. Also, his dad was Carded in front of him. Although Shun didn't show it, he felt sorry for Yuto inside.
"Well, let's go. I heard they are making a camp for the survivors. We should go there to rest up, it seems like the fight is calming down." Shun told them.
"Alright." Ruri responded.
"No." Allen told them. Shun looked at him.
"What do you mean?" Shun asked.
"I'm not coming. I'm gonna stay for the rest of the attack, and help out as much people as possible." Allen told him.
"Same." Shark and Rio told Shun.
"I'll join you guys later then." Kaito told them.
"Alright, then. Here's our plan, Ruri, Sayaka, you come with me to the camp. You 2 would be good at helping around. Also, we need to help Yuto." Shun told them as he took Yuto from Shun and held him over his shoulder.
"Alright, then as we said, Kaito, Allen, Rio and I will help the other people. In order to protect as many people as possible." Shark told them.
"What about the civilians? Like Kaito's family, Yuto's family, our family?" Ruri asked.
"Our family should be safe at the camp. As for Kaito and Yuto's family I don't know." Shun responded.
"I should get my parents then. Sayaka, I'll get your family for you, I swear, I know how much they mean to you." Allen told her.
"Allen… you would do that for me?" Sayaka asked. She was surprised, he would risk his life for her parents.
"Of course, we're friends, that's what we do!" Allen flashed a thumbs up to Sayaka.
"Ok… Thanks!" Sayaka told Allen with a small smile, it was good to have an idiot friend like Allen.
"Oh yeah, Ruri, Sayaka, you 2 also get nearby civilians and help them along with us. We need as many survivors as possible." Shun told them.
"Alright! Let's move out!" Rio exclaimed.
Shun, who was carrying Yuto, Ruri, and Sayaka walked together towards the camp. On the other hand, Rio, Shark, and Kaito split up, while Allen went to find his and Sayaka's families.
"Ryoga, I'll go find Mom and Dad." Rio told Shark.
"Ok be careful." Sharl told her, he didn't want to lose her because of their enemies.
Later
Allen was running as fast as he could, looking around for his and Sayaka's families. He stopped to see 2 students crowding people. Allen knew they were civilians, so he had to help out.
"Hey! You guys! Stop right there!" Allen yelled.
The two students looked at Allen, one student had a yellow jacket and the other was wearing a red jacket.
"Oh yeah. What are you going to do about it?" One asked.
"I will Duel you!" Allen yelled.
The people who were getting crowded looked at Allen, this was Sayaka's mother and father. They instantly recognized Allen, he was the most frequent guest and Sayaka's best friend. They actually thought both of them were an item, but they denied it every time.
"Allen! Stay away!" The father yelled.
"NO! I told Sayaka that I would bring you guys to her safe." Allen yelled back.
"Aww, you made a promise to your girlfriend?" One student mocked.
"Shut up! I'm going to save these people, but not only that, but I'm going to find out some stuff about you bastards!" Allen yelled.
"Oh… well… I guess we could tell you a bit of why we were invading." The student in yellow said.
"Ok, we're only going to say this once so you better listen. Our group is called Academia, we are attacking your city because we are following the Professor's orders. Orders to make a perfect and grand world." The red student told Allen.
"Academia… Perfect and grand utopia...Professor?" Allen questioned. What was going on here? Was the thing that was in his head, and what the student told him gave him even more questions. What is Academia? Who is the Professor? Why would they attack innocent people in order to make a "perfect" world? Why are they sealing innocent people into Cards?
"Never mind! I'm going to beat the hell out of you guys!" Allen yelled as he readied his Duel Disk.
"You are welcome to try!" The student in yellow exclaimed.
"DUEL!"
Another Area in Heartland
Rio was helping batches of survivors get away from the fighting and to safe places. She also told them where the camp was, and that they could go there when it is safer. She was now running around to see if she could find another batch.
While she was running around a corner she saw 2 students Carding a family. Two Cards fell to the ground. Also, these two students looked different from the others, they had some mask covering their eyes. The students finally noticed Rio.
"Oh! A Duelist. Finally, we have been waiting for a challenge!" One student said as he readied his Duel Disk.
"Don't think we are easy to beat, we are the Obelisk Force, the most elite of Academia!" The other student told her as he also readied his Duel Disk.
"You bastards! I'll make you pay for everything you have done! For the people of Heartland!" Rio yelled as she backed up and activated her Duel Disk.
"DUEL!"
Back With Allen
"I'll go first! I Summon Ancient Gear Hunting Hound!" The red student exclaimed as a mechanical dog appeared in front of him.
Hunting Hound: Level 3, 1000 Atk, 1000 Def
"I use it's effect, dealing you 600 points of damage!" The student exclaimed as the Hound shot Allen with fire. The fire didn't burn his clothes, but he took damage.
"AAAAARRRGH!" Allen groaned in pain as he fell to the ground.
Allen:4000-3400 LP
"I set 2 Cards and end my turn." The red student concluded his turn.
"My turn, draw! I also Summon Ancient GEar Hunting Hound, and use it's effect to deal you 600 points." The yellow student explained as Hunting Hound jumped into the air and came down headbutting Allen in the face.
Allen groaned in pain as he closed his eyes and clutched his face. A little more of this and he might pass out. He was only a kid and he was being thrown into battle like this. He wasn't as strong as Yuto, Shun, Kaito and Shark physically. He also had a less tolerance for pain.
"I set one Card and end my turn" The student in yellow concluded.
"My turn, draw!" Allen froze as he saw the Card. This is… the Card that Sayaka gave me. Allen closed his eyes as he remembered that he was not alone. Sayaka was, although not with him right now, fighting with him in spirit. He knew what to do.
"I Summon Heavy Armored Earth Monorail!" Allen yelled as his train appeared. (On a side note, special thanks to Fanime1 for making this Card, hope you don't mind this as being a symbol of Allen and Sayaka's friendship.)
Earth Monorail: Level 4, 1600 Atk, 1800 Def
"That Card!" Sayaka's father exclaimed. He was there when Sayaka gave the Card to Allen. He had remembered it like it was yesterday.
Flashback, Two months ago
"Allen, I want you to have this." Sayaka told Allen as she gave him a facedown Card as Allen was about to leave her house, her father was right next to her.
"Huh? What is this?" Allen asked as he flipped over the Card, however, confusion soon turned into happiness as he saw the Card. This could help out his Deck. It was Heavy Armored Earth Monorail.
"Cool! Thanks Sayaka!" Allen yelled as he hugged Sayaka, who blushed, but returned the hug.
"You two sure you're not an item?" Sayaka's father asked with a gruff laugh. Immediately, they broke the hug and started stammering.
"N-N-N-N-NO!" They yelled.
"Sorry Allen. But, think of that as a symbol of friendship." Sayaka told Allen, regaining her composure.
"Ok. Thanks. I'll make sure to take good care of it."
Now
"Heavy Armored Earth Monorail can be treated as 2 Monsters when used in an Xyz Summon." Allen explained.
"Oh… an Xyz Summon." The yellow student said.
"Don't lose Allen, you have got this!" Sayaka's mother yelled.
"I do this for you… Sayaka." Allen whispered to himself.
"I, using the two Level 4 Earth Monorails, overlay! Train that travels at the speed of sound, and arrive here and now faster than a blink of an eye! Xyz Summon! Show yourself! Rank 4! Heavy Armored Train Sound Breaker!" Allen chanted as in a blink of an eye, his ace Monster rushed to the field, making a choo choo sound as it appeared.
Sound Breaker: Rank 4, 2600 Atk, 1600 Def
"Bring it on!" The red student yelled.
"We're not scared!" The yellow student yelled.
"It doesn't matter, I am fighting with my friend, and I said I would bring her family back to her safe! I make that one of my top priorities! I am not letting her down!" Allen yelled, referring to Sayaka as "her".
Card Catalog
Big thanks again to Fanime1 for this Card.
Heavy Armored Earth Monorail Level 4 Machine, Earth, 1600 Atk, 1800 Def: When this Monster is used for an Xyz Summon, you can treat this Card as 2 Monsters.
Finished. Ok, to be honest, I think this was the worst written chapter yet on this fanfic.
I kind of made this all over the place, and I said I would do a Duel for you guys last chapter, but I only started a Duel and did the last turn of Shun's Duel. Allen's Duel will finish next chapter, so will Rio's probably. I will start Shark's Duel next chapter or at least lead up to it.
To make up for going against my words, I tried to make this chapter as fast as I could. Sorry if you guys were disappointed at all.
SSJGamerYT: Glad you caught that, I wanted to see if someone got that! :) Thanks for the advice. Also, yeah that was a mistake on my part, I forgot to mention Rio but I left Shun out on purpose. Lastly, I'll be on the lookout then for your story, best of luck man.
Fanime1: Umm, well, here is an otk by Shun. Since Shun is one of the major characters, he will be Dueling more in Standard than in the Xyz dimension here. As for Kaito and the gang, I am planning those Duels out right now. Also, for the third time I am saying this, big special thanks for the suggestion. I'm sorry for taking a while to put in your suggested Card.
Just a reminder, like Fanime1 has done, you guys can suggest a Card for any character. Well, there are some exceptions. For example, I don't think we need any suggestions for Jack and Crow, they have enough Cards to work with but those guys are a long ways away anyway.
Also, I forgot to mention in chapter 1 that there might be minor violence, just like people getting punched or kicked in the face or stomach from time to time.
Yes, I will have Sayaka and Allen have a little relationship. It won't be as big as people like Yuto and Ruri, but I'll include from time to time. In my eyes, they make a cute couple. They cared about each other a lot in the anime so I thought why not make it a relationship. Besides, some people do it already.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed the chapter. Take care, goodbye!
