A/N: This is a remake of my first GX story called 'A Blast from the Future', it should have been deleted by now. This chapter will most likely be much shorter than the others, but not sure right now.
"Speech"
'Thoughts'
Neo Den City, a city of many possibilities and is within a great age. The city was at the pinnacle of the advancement of technology at the present age, the buildings were built to great heights and everything was made with the newest generation of tech.
Over the years, dueling wasn't just done in the virtual world known as Link Vrains anymore, they were also decided to be brought onto the streets as well. It has been like this for a solid ten years.
Not only that, but Turbo Duels, and Action Duels were brought back into the mix, people had been using Speed Duels for so long the other dueling choices were almost forgotten. The use of other summoning methods had also become much more common.
And within this city, a new kind of summoning method had sprung up in the world over the years with only a very select few individuals being able to actually perform the summonings of the monsters.
A person in particular that could perform such a summon, was a young male that would be the age of around fifteen or so. He had straight black hair with a couple of his bangs on the left side hanging over his left eye and were dyed blue, his skin was fair and he had slightly rounded blue eyes. He wore a loose black t-shirt with a short-sleeved white loose vest over the top the reached halfway down his upper body.
He wore tight black jeans and tall blue combat boots with black soles. He had on black fingerless gloves on his hands and a long blue scarf that wrapped around his neck and both of the ends swaying behind him.
This young man lived in Neo Den City, and he was known to be one of the best duelists to exist at that time. While you would be left to believe that the city was all rainbows and sunshine, it truly hides a dark and ruthless truth.
As time went on, the boy had made his way up in the world by showing them all his skill in the dueling world, and he has succeeded in doing so. Now, he stands as one of the best, but he has gone missing and people have the foggiest idea as to where.
This boy's name, Fujiki Yuji.
In a rather large city, a young boy was seen walking through it with his right hand in his pocket as he was walking with his eyes closed. He was walking down a street within the city as people walked by doing their own business.
This boy was none other than Fujiki Yuji, the male that originally came from Neo Den City. It had been around a week or so since he had arrived in this place and time, and from what he could gather, he was in Domino City and from many years back.
Domino City had ceased to exist and it was a shocker to honestly find out that he was standing in it upon first arriving, but he had gotten used to it as he continued to try and find a way back to where his true home was.
But, so far, no luck at all. In the short amount of time that he had arrived in this city, he had managed to find a place which he was able to live but at the expense of having to work there. The place was a small restaurant owned by a man which he came to see him as a fatherly figure, his name was Haru Jokuna.
As he went about his daily life, he had no choice but to tell the man who he saw as a father right now the truth, about him being from the future. Haru was shocked upon hearing such news as he had taken time to finally believe in Yuji's claims.
As time went on, he knew that he had needed to keep some of his cards under wraps as to not gain too much attention from other people, it was something that he really didn't need right now for obvious reasons.
The only thing that had been gaining attention, though thankfully not enough to garner a serious amount. Was that of his duel disk, it had been made during his time so it was extremely unique and out of this generations tech.
"I'm back." Yuji's voice called out. He was now seen entering into the small restaurant, which was actually also a place for people to have duels, he then looked around the place after doing so and catching sight of a man in his late thirties.
Ever since entering into this time, there had been countless questions that rose into his mind and he wanted some answers to them. Why was he here? Was there even a purpose? Who brought him here? Why this time specifically?
"Oh, Yuji..." The man, Haru, said as he noticed Yuji walking over to the front counter. The restaurant was rather large as there were multiple tables and chairs placed around along with a dueling field installed into the place for people to watch. "So, still haven't found a way home?"
"Nope, not even a slight clue as to how or why I'm here, or a way to get back," Yuji said as he clenched his right fist slightly. Haru sighed as he looked at the boy before saying. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find a way back. But, why are you making this much of a deal about it right now? From what we've seen, nothing much has happened because of your appearance here."
"Simple," Yuji stated. Haru then watched as Yuji held three fingers up towards him. "1: I need to know who brought me here and why. 2: To find out if there is a reason for my appearance here at this time and what it is. 3: There might be something bigger than we know happening behind the scenes."
"This three reasons thing again, huh?" Haru said as he gave a slight deadpanned look towards Yuji. Ever since Yuji came, Haru had noticed how the boy had a habit of giving three reasons to his actions, it was rather strange and entertaining.
"So, is there something wrong?" Yuji asked. He rose his eyebrow towards the man as he saw that he seemed down and was somewhat frustrated from what he could see right now. "You look... I don't know, down in the dumps or something."
"Well, take a look over there..." Haru stated. Yuji turned his head to look where Haru was pointing his finger, it was directed towards the dueling field built in their restaurant. From what he could see, there was a group of three males around his age seemingly picking on a girl around three or two years younger than them.
"What's this?" Yuji narrowed his eyes towards that direction as he muttered those two words. Haru sighed before answering. "Those three boys, the one in the middle mainly, was challenging people to duels and have been destroying them. What's worse, is that he refuses to face any adults in a duel, only those younger than him."
"Oh, is that so?" Yuji muttered. He then pushed himself off the counter as he started walking towards the group that was picking on the young girl, he saw that the boy was holding a card above his head as the girl was trying to reach for it by jumping.
The girl had long black hair and blue eyes while wearing a one-piece yellow dress with white frills while the main boy had short red hair and blue eyes, Yuji didn't care to look at the boy's lackeys as he found them irrelevant.
He also noticed the two boys beside the main middle one were smiling and smirking smugly at the scene, the people at the tables who were watching this were all narrowing their eyes, but knew they couldn't do anything since it would cause some more unnecessary issues.
The adults and kids sitting at the tables heard footsteps and turned to see Yuji walking towards the group, some of them smirked with brightness at the sight of the young man as he walked past them.
Over the small week he had been here, he had gained a pretty good reputation with the people that usually come here, they admired his skills in the dueling world and were now hoping for him to put an end to this little fiasco.
"Hey, you know you really shouldn't be picking on those younger than you." Yuji's voice called out. The girl stopped jumping as she and the boys looked towards the voice, the girl had to turn around before looking up at Yuji as her eyes had tears at the corners.
"Who the heck are you? Well, it doesn't matter, she lost the duel and this will be my prize!" The middle, the main boy in the group, stated smugly. He shook the card around as he held it in his fingers as the two boys next to him laughed.
"Give it back!" The girl wailed as she looked at him.
"No way, you lost and I win this card!" The boy laughed. Yuji narrowed his eyes, causing the group of three to freeze slightly as he gave them a cold look, the middle one shook out of it and looked at Yuji. "Wh-What?"
"I suggest that you give that card back to her before I have to deal with you myself," Yuji warned. The girl looked at Yuji with blinking eyes before the boy looked at him and rose an eyebrow before laughing like an idiot.
"Oh, really? If you want to duel me, fine! But, if I win, I'll be taking your deck!" The boy laughed. His 'followers' laughed as they looked smugly at Yuji, who just held a calm look as he just then shrugged his shoulders at them.
"Very well, but if you are to fall by my hands, then you are forever banned from stepping foot within this place, and you return this girl's card back to her. Understood?" Yuji asked with a cold voice. This made the group of boys gulp as they looked at his predatory gaze.
"Wh-Whatever! Let's just do this!" The boy shouted. Yuji watched as the 'followers' of the main boy sat on a bench to watch the duel with a smug look as the main one walked to one side of the field with an old fashion duel disk of this time.
Yuji then bent down slightly as he looked into the girl's eyes, he then said in a reassuring voice to her as she looked up at him. "Don't worry, I'll make sure to win you your card back, just sit back and watch, alright?"
"O-Okay..." The girl muttered as she nodded her head. Yuji smiled as he stood up and walked to his side of the field as he kept his gaze on the boy who was looking smug on his side of the field. Yuji sighed before stopping and narrowing his eyes.
"You ready?"
"Anytime, Punk! I'll show you how outmatched you are!" The boy said smugly as he activated the duel disk. Yuji sighed before glaring and taking out his own duel disk and slamming it onto his arm.
He held it in front of his chest as its design was revealed. It looked like a very futuristic duel disk that was black in colour with blue glowing lines, the end of the duel disk had spikes that curved upwards. There was also a glowing blue orb at the center of the disk.
"Then let us begin," Yuji stated. The blue lines and the blue orb glowed brightly before stopping as everyone looked at the duel disk in awe, they had never seen such an advanced looking one before and wondered where Yuji had gotten it from.
"Th-Then let's do this!" The boy stuttered. Yuji smirked as he took out his deck and inserted it into his duel disk before looking up at his opponent. "Then allow me to show you the pinnacle of dueling!"
"Duel!" Both sides shouted in unison.

Boy - 4000LP
"I'll start this off, cause I really want to get out of this boring place! So, let's finish this little game off quickly!" The boy shouted. He sounded completely full of himself as the overconfidence Yuji felt from the boy was irritating.
"Very well, then I'll make sure to finish you off soon." Yuji glared. The boy merely clicked his tongue as he looked at Yuji, he then drew a card from his deck before looking at the six cards he now had in his hands.
"I'll start by activating the spell card known as Moray of Greed!" The boy shouted. He showed the card to be the Pot of Greed submerged in water with a moray eel that looked similar to the pot emerging from it. "This allows me to shuffle two water monsters from my hand into the deck before drawing three cards!"
Yuji just watched as he activated the spell as it appeared on the field before he drew three cards after shuffling two, the spell then shattered from the field as he finished. The boy grinned confidently as he then activated. "I now activate the field spell card known as A Legendary Ocean!"
The boy placed the card into the field spell card area within his duel disk as they all watched as a bunch of holographic water appeared around them and a temple of sorts with a bunch of fish swimming around them appeared.
"This field spell card allows all water monsters on the field to gain two-hundred attack and defence points! But, it also reduces the level of all water monsters in both player's hands and on the field by one! I'll set a card face down before summoning forth my Mother Grizzly (1400/1000)!"
Yuji observed calmly as a facedown card appeared on the boy's side of the field before a large bear with bluish fur appeared as it growled in Yuji's direction, Yuji didn't flinch as he took in its rather large form.
"And thanks to my Legendary Ocean, Mother Grizzly gains two-hundred attack and defence points!" The boy grinned. Yuji watched as the bear glowed a bit as it then gave off another roar. "I'll end my turn there! Let's see if you can keep up!"
Yuji frowned as he looked at the condescending smile and smirk on the boy's face that he was facing up against, he just sighed before giving a narrowed look towards the male as he held two of his fingers on his deck.
"Very well."

Turn 2
Yuji
Yuji - 4000LP
Boy - 4000LP
"I'll finish this swiftly, draw!" Yuji shouted. He then drew his card as a gust of wind blew across the entire area, this made many people widen their eyes along with some having to block their faces from the gust.
The boy that he was facing against had faltered as he almost fell to the ground due to the sudden gust of wind that sprung about, Yuji didn't care as he looked at his hand and smirked before looking at the boy who had wide eyes.
"It seems that your demise has already come and answered its call! I'll start off by activating the spell card known as Graveyard Rush!" Yuji held the card up to the boy to show that it was a picture of a graveyard that had yellow lights heading towards it. "This allows me to send on or two cards from my hand to the grave!"
Yuji did just that as he selected one of the cards from his hand and placed it into the graveyard as the Graveyard Rush card on the field shattered as it also went to the graveyard after being used up.
"I'll now summon forth my Slip Space Cyber (1000/400)! While it may be a five-star monster, its special effect allows me to summon it directly if I don't control any other monsters!" Yuji announced. They watched as a monster than began to form on the field.
The audience watched as the monster revealed to be a humanoid figure with a black body that was littered with stars, it also had circuit lines running along its body and reaching up to its neck as it had glowing sharp white eyes.
"Slip Space...?" The boy muttered in confusion. Some of the others that were watching also seemed confused as they had never heard of such an archetype before, those that had seen Yuji duel before weren't as surprised, but still didn't know of such an archetype.
"That's right, my deck is revolved around Slip Space monsters! Now, I'll activate a spell card from my hand!" Yuji declared. He revealed the card to be a card that showed a heart that was both white and black in colour as electricity danced around it. "This card is known as Reverse Heart, it allows me to change my Slip Space Cyber, which is a light monster, and changes it to dark!"
"What's the point in that? You monster is still way too weak and pathetic to go against my Mother Grizzly!" The boy shouted with smug as he grinned like an idiot towards Yuji. Yuji didn't seem affected as he only smiled in response to this.
"Who said I was done? I now activate the spell known as Worm Hole Fusion!" Yuji showed the card that revealed to be a wormhole that was black and had two lights heading towards it and slowly merging together.
"Fusion Summoning!?" The boy cried in shock, he had certainly not expected this.
"The monster that I'm summoning requires a dark and a light monster to summon forth!" Yuji explained. The boy blinked before angrily shouting. "If that's the case, then you can't summon it! You only that that Cyber of yours!"
"Oh, and also, while Worm Hole Fusion allows me to summon monsters using materials from the field, it also allows me to use them from the graveyard if necessary, though one of the materials need to be on the field to do so! Lucky me, I do have one on the field!"
"What!" The boy began panicking as Cyber turned into light and went into the air as another light flew out of Yuji's duel disk and went next to it. "But, how did you get a monster into your graveyard?!"
"Simple, it was the card I sent when using Graveyard Rush!" Yuji smirked. The boy gasped in realisation as he remembered the first move Yuji did. "Beast from the void of the darkest night, come forth and bring forth a new era! Fusion Summon! Level 8! Slip Space Obsidian Contestar (2500/2000)!"
They all watched in awe as the two lights merged into one and a new being appeared in front of them and showed its brilliance. It was a massive humanoid figure that looked very much like one of those medieval knights from fantasy.
Its armor was as black as the void and had silver linings along the edges of its, the figure was lean and the helmet it wore was similar to that of a spartan with a horn being placed on the forehead. Finally, it had a pair of sharp white eyes and a huge sword in its right hand.
"Also, thanks to the effects of Worm Hole Fusion! Contestar gains two-hundred extra attack points!" Yuji declared. Contestar shouted as his power rose slightly due to the effect of the card he was fusion summoned with.
[Yuji]
Slip Space Obsidian Contestar: [ATK: 2700 DEF: 2000] [Level: 8 Light] [Slipspace/Effect/Fusion]
"Amazing..." Yuji could hear the voice of the small girl that the boys were picking on mutter as she stared at his monster's form.
"S-So what?! While it may be pretty powerful, I'll survive this turn and defeat you in my next turn!" The boy stated confidently. Yuji narrowed his eyes as the boy felt his blood run cold. "I said that I'll finish this quickly, and I mean right now!"
The words took the boy back as he stared at Yuji incredulously, the spectators turned to look at Yuji with surprise and also curious wonder as they wanted to know what the young duelist was going to do next.
"I'll now take the time to activate Contestar's effect! And believe me, it's an awesome one!" Yuji stated with a smile. Contestar began glowing as he then stated. "His effect allows him to gain five-hundred extra attack points for every card currently on the field!"
"That means..." The boy muttered. Yuji smirked as he nodded his head at the boy's worry. "That's right! Since there are four cards that are currently on the field, including my Contestar, he gains a total of two-thousand attack points!"
"But that still isn't enough to win! I'll still have some life points to spare!" The boy argued. Yuji just shook his head at this with a sigh as he then looked at the boy with a narrowed look in his eyes as he then stated.
"You are too naive, I can easily overcome that small boundary by using the final card in my hand!" Yuji stated. The boy widened his eyes as Yuji then showed the card to show a picture of a black humanoid figure with stars littering its body while having a purplish energy revolving around it as the figure was in a curled up position. "The spell is known as Slip Space Force!"
"Wh-What does that do?" The boy asked nervously.
"I'm glad that you asked!" Yuji smirked. He then played the card as it appeared on the field as Contestar roared as a purple energy exploded from it and coated itself around Contestar's body. "I am only able to activate this if I have a one or more Slip Space monsters on my field, I am then able to choose one of them and... double their attack points!"
"Wait what?!" The boy looked in horror as Contestar gave off a powerful roar as shockwaves of purple energy were sent through the area. The spectators, along with the little girl were watching in awe as this happened.
[Yuji]
Slip Space Obsidian Contestar: [ATK: 9400 DEF: 2000] [Level: 8 Light] [Slipspace/Effect/Fusion]
"Nine-thousands four-hundred attack points?!" The boy stated in shock after reading how much power that the beast in front of him had, it was honestly shocking as the power could easily be felt by everyone around the place.
"That's right! And with this, you're finished! Attack Mother Grizzly and finish this duel, Slip Space Obsidian Contestar!" Yuji ordered. Contestar charged towards the bear that it towers over before crashing his massive sword down and completely obliterating the monster.
The aftershock caused a huge amount of wind to blow through the area, it even caused the boy to fall over and fly back as Yuji was looking calmly, seemingly unaffected by the gust as his hair and clothes swayed violently against the wind.
Winner
Yuji
"How disappointing," Yuji stated. The place erupted into cheers from the audience while Yuji could see the boy's lackeys pale as they had their jaws dropped in disbelief, the boy he dueled also looked on in disbelief as he was starting to sit up from his downed position.
Yuji just calmly walked over towards the boy after putting away his deck as he now stood over the boy, the boy honestly looked scared. "Now, as per our deal, you are forever banned from entering here, and you have to give that card back."
"O-Okay! Just take it!" The boy stuttered as he yelled this. Yuji watched as the boy then scurried up and threw the card towards Yuji, which he easily caught, and ran away while his lackeys soon joined and ran out of the place after him. "How weak-willed..."
Yuji sighed before giving a small smile and walking over to the small girl and bent slightly down to her height before holding the card out towards her. "Here, just as I promised. I got your card back for you."
"Th-Thank you!" The girl stuttered a thank you as she accepted it. Yuji smiled as he ruffled her hair before walking back over towards Haru, who had a face of relief on him as he saw the boy coming over.
"Well done, Yuji. I knew I could always count on you to solve these types of situations if they were to arise." Haru smiled. Yuji just closed his eyes and smiled before leaning against the front counter.
"Thanks, people like that just really irritate me," Yuji stated. Haru chuckled at the boy's response before holding a small glass of juice towards him that had ice cubes in it. Yuji took the glass and sipped it. "Thanks."
"So, are you ready for tomorrow?" Haru asked. Yuji took a small sip before sighing as he looked up at Haru and answered. "You mean about going to Duel Academy? Then yes, I'm already ready with all of my things."
"Good, cause your transport will arrive pretty early in the morning to take you there. And if I remember correctly, you have another person transferring in at the same time as you, right?" Haru asked. Yuji nodded his head as he shook the glass he held.
"Yep, I don't know who they are but I'll meet them during the transport I guess. Plus, I'm honestly surprised they let someone my age even enter into the academy. How old are they compared to me? Fifteen and above?"
"Pretty much, but considering how easily you won against the proctor in your examination yesterday, it isn't that much of a shocker that they accepted you," Haru stated. Yuji just shrugged his shoulders before finishing his drink.
"Anyway, I'm going to go up to my room, going to need some rest for tomorrow."
