The end of time – Paradox's revenge

A/N: Hi everyone, this is a brand new fic which is set after the new 10th Anniversary Yu-Gi-Oh Movie. I have wanted to do a fic like this for ages so enjoy. Also note that I have done something different to the normal series as well, but it should be ok.

Chapter 1: The break in the time stream – Enter Neo Domino!

Yugi Mutou was at Domino High, it was coming up to the end of the day and he was glad for it to be ending. Things had been rough for him in the last few days, only a couple of days he had lost his Grandpa in a tragic accident. Or at least that was what the news said; he was the only one who knew the truth. Well he and his other self did. He was thrown into a cruel battle with two other people, who claimed to be from the future. One of them wore a red school uniform, and had brown hair which was flat on top, he also had matching eyes. Yugi knew that person as Judai Yuki, someone who possessed the power of a Duel Spirit known as Yubel and also had the powers of Neo Space.

The other person was from an even further away future. He had black "crab-styled" hair with yellow highlights in it; he possessed monster cards that Yugi had never seen before. The Synchro Monsters, powerful monsters that Yugi had never thought was possible. Not only did this older male have these monsters, but he had one in particular that gave him the identity of someone called a Signer. He was also the oldest out of there group, the young man named Yusei Fudo.

Yugi and his other half had made friends with Judai and Yusei almost immediately, since they were the only three that could have defeated Paradox. They had been successful, thanks to their teamwork and now peace had returned to their own time periods. Although that was something to be happy about, Yugi still felt awful. Losing his Grandpa had made him distant from most people. Even his dearest friends, he hadn't been able to speak and his thoughts had been drifted to that day in particular.

As the final bell rang Yugi picked up his things, and left without saying a word. He was a complete mess; he didn't want his friends to see him like this. There was so much he could say to them, besides that he was unsure what they could to make him feel better. He walked alone down the busy streets of Domino; the people were going by blissfully. It appeared that the disaster that had happened only a few days ago, didn't really bother them. This only made Yugi more upset as he continued walking on, before after a while he reached the Turtle Game Shop, his home.

As Yugi slowly opened the door, his eyes widened at the sight of a weird package on the floor. It was not there when he left this morning, and he didn't believe that any mail ever came for him. Except from that time when Pegasus had sent him one, he could expect that it was probably not a good thing. Besides not much had been going right for him as of late, then again there was barely anything that he was doing to make it better either.

He sighed as he lifted the package off the floor, and took it upstairs into his room. He was about to open it, when the shop door opened and a voice called out to him.

"Oi Yugi we all need a word with you, get down here." A voice that Yugi knew belonged to his friend Katsuya Jonouchi. He also believed that when Jonouchi had mentioned that they all needed a word with him, this must mean that Honda and Anzu were with him. Yugi didn't delay and went down the stairs to meet his friends.

"Hi guys, sorry to sound rude but what are you doing here? I mean haven't you got something else to do?" Yugi asked as he reached the foot of the stairs, and looked up to his three taller friends.

"What do you mean, Yugi? Can't you understand we hate to see you in pain like this, we have noticed that you haven't been yourself since your Grandpa died." Jonouchi screamed back at his friend. He was taller than Yugi, with messy blonde hair and dark brown eyes.

"Yugi, we still want to help you. Please stop hiding away; we know it is tough for you do lose your Grandpa, but we want to help you through it." Anzu said adding to Jonouchi's words. Out of the three of them Anzu had known Yugi longer, then Honda and Jonouchi. They had grown up together as childhood friends, so Anzu always knew when Yugi was upset. Seeing him this way brought tears to her delicate blue eyes.

"I'm sorry everyone, I guess I have been acting strange lately. I guess it is so hard to accept Grandpa is gone, though I still can't believe that people still claim it was an accident had happened on that day." Yugi replied as he looked down at the floor before he looked back up again, his face was as angry as it could be for his usual self. "That was no accident that killed my Grandpa, I'm just glad that the person responsible is gone."

"Yugi maybe you should explain to use what happened? Something about this doesn't add up, I mean what did happen on that day? Not much was truly confirmed on that day, you haven't told use anything and it seems that they were trying to cover up the truth. So go on tell us." Anzu comforted him.

Yugi sighed, before a light shone out of his puzzle and before anyone could blink. Yugi had changed personalities, His hair had got longer, he was also slightly taller and his eyes had changed shape. "Alright I will tell you everything."

*~*~*~*~*~*

Yugi had finished explain to the others up in his room, he had mentioned the incident with Paradox and the attack of the Sin Cyber End Dragon. The death of his Grandpa, the meeting with Judai and Yusei, and the dangerous duel that they had to save the future. It wasn't easy to explain, and he had been stopped numerous times to answer various questions from Honda and Jonouchi. However, after many delays he had finally managed to finish explaining what had happened on that fated day.

"That was some story Yugi." Honda piped in after a silence had surrounded the room, after Yugi finished.

"So this Paradox guy was responsible for killing your Grandpa, because he wanted to kill Pegasus and prevent Duel Monsters from existing." Jonouchi asked his spiky haired friend.

"That's right Jonouchi-kun, Paradox is gone but I don't know what happened to him after that. I mean if he survived, he could have gone back to his time. However, there is still a possibility that he could be still alive. Not to mention that he could return at anytime, mind you no matter what time period he is in. I made a pledge with Judai and Yusei to protect our time, so that the future can be bright" Yugi explained his expression was very serious.

"I'm sure you will be fine Yugi, besides we will be here with you no matter what." Anzu smiled placing a hand on Yugi's shoulder.

"Thank you everyone, though something still bothers me. I mean why did I get a package today? I mean I never get anything from people unless it is world threatening, or something bad will happen because of something else I already did." Yugi said smirking slightly at the ironic situation.

"Well there is only one way to find out, open it." Jonouchi replied, slightly confused by Yugi's sudden change of attitude.

Yugi opened it, revealing a video tape. It was almost too predictable, one both occasions he had packages like this he had got a tape with it. "Well let me guess I better play this, I wonder what Pegasus wants this time?" Yugi sighed as he put the tape in his VCR, who appeared on the tape surprised Yugi it wasn't Pegasus, but the person he had been mentioning to his friends.
"Paradox?"

The masked man appeared on the screen laughing. "Mutou Yugi, if you really thought that I would be finished by the last duel you are sadly mistaken. My plans to destroy everything, to make my time a better place is still in full motion. I give you credit for defeating me, last time but this time things will be different. This time you are out of your depth, as I have already created a split in the verge of space. Soon enough after this message is finished, you will see what little hope you have. I wish you luck in the future, since I will be destroying this time."

All of a sudden a huge bright light enveloped the room, blinding Yugi and the others. As the light burned brighter, Yugi could feel that his feet were no longer on solid ground. The weird feeling of flying seemed to be gripping his body, as he continued to shield his eyes from the light. He couldn't hear his friends scream or anything, this gave him the feeling that he was indeed all by himself. The light eventually died and Yugi felt himself falling, he still didn't open his eyes as he fell. It didn't seem to take too long as he felt his back hit something hard, which he bounced off. He heard people scream, as he felt himself hit the ground he rolled numerous times before stopping. Blood was falling from his mouth, he could barely breath, he tried to open his eyes his vision was blurry. Before finally giving up, he closed his eyes and remembered no more.

*Meanwhile with Judai*

Judai Yuki had similar troubles; Paradox had managed to encounter his friends Sho, Asuka, Kaiser, Johan and Manjoume. Whilst they had been reunited after so long, Paradox claimed that he was go to destroy the time period they were in. Whilst they were going to be stuck in the future. Throwing the others into chaos before sending them spiralling into a portal of light. Judai had thankfully been saved from injuring himself thanks to Yubel, and he was known by himself in a middle of a strange city he had never seen before.

"Judai seems that we have been caught in another sick game, wouldn't you agree?" Yubel said with a slight hint of anger in her voice.

"Ah that I would Yubel, seems that Paradox is still alive and now he claims this is the future. Still I wonder where the others are and more importantly, where is this place?" Judai asked as he looked around, the place he was standing in looked like Domino City. However, something was different about it. It was more futuristic like something out of a Sci Fi film, well almost it was without the Sci Fi aspect but it was much more futuristic.

"Hmm Judai you don't think this place could be...." Yubel started but was cut off at the sight of a red motorbike, which looked awfully familiar to both of them. They knew who it belonged to. It had sped past them, but they could see it was heading to an academy like building. Taking chase Judai ran towards the building, he was hoping to now find out the truth.

*At the Duel Academy*

Aki Izayoi was in the nurses' office, she was a tall good looking girl with violet coloured hair, which had two elbow length bangs at the front with a hair clip in between both of them. She was wearing a red academy blazer, with a white shirt underneath it. She also wore a standard black skirt for Academy students with her stockings that she normally wore. She wasn't ill but she had been called in, because of her friends Rua and Ruka. They weren't ill either but they were worried about the person that had fallen out of the sky, and down into their class unexpectedly.

Ruka and Rua were twins with the same coloured hair and eye colour; they were both dressed in their school uniforms. There was only two things that changed between the two of them in appearance, Rua was a boy and Ruka was a girl and the fact they had different hairstyles as well, made it slightly clearly who was who.

"Ruka, Rua you never fully explained what happened. I mean you did say this guy fell into your class, but how can that be possible? I mean it isn't like windows were smashed or anything, you mean to tell me he just came out of nowhere." Aki asked the two younger twins, she was still completely taken back by this whole situation.

"Well believe it or not Aki-san that is what happened. We don't know how, but that guy really did come out of nowhere. It was like he fell from the sky, and then he was bleeding on the floor." Ruka replied.

At that very moment two other people entered the room, one of them was Yusei the other none of them knew. He was wearing a red blazer that looked like an academy outfit, but it was different somehow.

"Yusei thank god you are here." Aki said cheerfully at first ignoring the other guy, "The twins claim that they saw someone weird fall out of the sky, and we all know you are used to things like this. So we thought maybe you could help."

"Hey am I invisible or something? Yusei-san aren't you going to introduced me, or am I going to have to make a scene." The red blazer guy screamed in complete disgust for being ignored.

Yusei let out a sigh; he couldn't believe he was here because of this. Mind you with meeting the person with him earlier, he clearly saw something was up that wasn't normal. "Fine, I'll see what I can do. Oh by the way Aki, Ruka, Rua may I introduce Judai Yuki. He is a friend that helped me different Paradox when I went back in time."

"Please to meet you Judai-san" Ruka and Aki replied politely. Rua on the other hand was more interested on the Duel Disk on Judai's arm. "Oh Judai-san will you duel me please, pretty please. Please, Please, Please." Rua was now practically jumping around the room in excitement.

Judai looked taken back, but then gave out a small laugh. "You are optimistic kid, kind of like me when I was a child. However, this isn't the time for that so maybe later."

Yusei smiled at Rua though he was disappointed, he was sure Judai would keep his word. "Anyway Aki, who was this mystery man that fell from the sky?"

Aki explained the man's features and in next to no time, it was clear who it was to Yusei and Judai.

"That's Yugi-san as I predicted alright." Judai said after Aki finished, he turned to Yusei who simply nodded. It seemed that the spaces in time had been broken once again, and what was worse it appeared that the enemy they thought they killed was back. Paradox was back and this time it was personal.

A/N: Well folks that is it for Chapter 1, I think it is an ok start probably could have been better, but hey I've got better stuff to come so don't worry. I hope to get some feedback as it is nice to hear what you guys think, plus I want your ideas and views to help me make this better. Anyway like the anime I'm going to do a small preview of chapter two and that will be it. See you all in chapter 2.

Yusei: Yugi-san, Judai-san it is good to see you again. Then again I wish it was under different circumstances.

Judai: I know but it is sweet time travelling, and see your friends again. Hey wait there is a duel going on over there.

Yugi: Judai-kun this isn't time to...Wait Kaiba-kun?

Next time: Ultimate Dragon – Kaiba verses Jack!

Yusei: Jack what have you gotten yourself into now?
