Hello and welcome to my newest fanfiction, Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V! I know it's been a while since my last update of chapters, I won't apologize or make excuses, Life has been doing its usual stint as well other things, but now, I'm taking my time to do some chapters as well as put this new story up.
So, been watching Arc-V and find it very interesting with how the story is going, as I am currently at Episode 51 at the time of this introduction, with the prospect of other Dimensions, very similar to Kamen Rider Decade and so I thought should do this, but the exception is no Kamen Rider Yu-Gi-Oh cards like the previous stories, we have Fusion, Ritual, Synchro, Xyz, and Pendulum, but never a full on time Gemini Duelist and recently, I been enjoying the new Red-Eyes archetype that been made into Gemini as Red-Eyes is officially the first ever Deck I made when I first stepped into the game of Yu-Gi-Oh! while the show aired Yugi's story
Right then, onto the fanfiction, I plan on starting a day before the Maiami Duel Championship, there will be custom made Red-Eyes cards as they don't have a wide variety in Clash of Rebellions pack..
Now then, let's move on! I summon the almighty Disclaimer!
I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V or any of its characters, be they existing or appearing in future episodes, I do own any of the cards of the Yu-Gi-Oh Card Game except when having purchased said cards from booster packs, I do not own any of the Openings or Endings of Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V be they existing or in future episodes, if I did own any of these things, I'd probably suck at advancing the plot.
Only content I own will be my OC, Haruto Makoto and any custom created cards that will appear, now, without further ado, let's get this show underway! So as all they all say, It's SHOWTIME!
Chapter 1
The Gemini Duellist
-?-
The room was in darkness save for a gap in-between the curtains until a noise echoed within the room a rather loud one that could only belong to an alarm clock, there was movement of a quilt and the annoying ringing brought to a stop and a sleepy male voice was heard next. "So annoying…." The youth's voice said and he let out a yawn and moved, opening up the curtains in one movement as the light of the sun penetrated into the room and he had to instinctively cover his eyes with a hand to form some shade.
The room in question was also more see-able with a huge closet of three sliding panels, one of which moved behind another to reveal some jackets on coat hangers, the carpet was a dull brown colour while the walls were just a s dull with a yellowish white scheme.
There were some noteworthy objects in the room, a desk with a red and black laptop folded over with a silver swivel chair in front of it, beside it was a black deck box that was open and empty while a deck of cards facedown, the room also had a 40" HD TV atop a cupboard that housed some various consoles or film players, some indescribable to make out.
The youth returned to sit upon a single sized bed and let out a yawn, covering his hand over his mouth, his black hair messed up in various places due the sleep he had undergone and it took a few moments before his brain and eyes seemed to register his surroundings more, he was wearing some dark red pyjamas and got up from the bed to open the door and walk down a hallway to enter the bathroom and turned the cold tap, placing his hands underneath the running water and splashed his face with it, he then reached for a hand towel hanging nearby to dry his face before a voice called out form the hallway, a feminine one at that.
"Haruto! You awake yet?" The woman's voice said and Haruto stepped out from the bathroom and called down the stairs. "Yeah Mom, give me a few minutes!" Haruto said and there was a sound of satisfaction he barely heard before he returned to his room to select his attire.
-Kitchen-
Haruto stepped inside the Kitchen which was just as normal as any other kitchen and dining room would be wearing a red undershirt with a black short-sleeved jacket reaching his waist, his lower attire consisted of black trousers with red trim going down the side the pant legs with a belt holding it up having the Deck Box from before on his right hip, his feet had grey sneakers, his hair was also more tamer and flat.
"Morning Mom." Haruto said and a woman with surprising long brown hair flowing down to her back and some strands down her front as she wore a grey sweater and a blue jeans holding what appeared to be a ladle and wearing an apron, obviously cooking. "Morning honey, your usual is on the table as always." She said and went back into the kitchen as Haruto pulled up a chair and sat in it and before him was a bowl of cereal with spoon on the side, ready for eating to which, he dug into.
"So honey, did you sign up for the Maiami Duel Championship?" Haruto heard his mother ask and he nodded. "Yeah I'm in the Junior Youth Division, I'm excited to see other Duelists from this city or maybe from other places, I should probably consider myself lucky that the president of the company handed Dad the invitation to take part, especially considering the move we had to do a week ago." Haruto said to her.
"Indeed, I hear there's this kind of Duel called an Action Duel or something? It's supposed to be vastly different comparing to a normal one I hear?" His mother asked thoughtfully and Haruto nodded. "Yeah, apparently it's done with Solid Vision with mass and very specific cards are made, scattered around the arena and you actually have to move around which could change the game." Haruto replied.
"Well, all that technology stuff or whatever is beyond me, I heard there are some Duel Schools as well, sorry we didn't find one for you yet, what with the recent things going on." Haruto's mother apologized and Haruto shook his head. "No, it's fine Mom, I'm just happy to have time to go out and look around town, you know, get my feel for the city."Haruto said, finishing off his breakfast and clapped his hands in gratitude and as he leaving the table his mom called after him.
"Don't forget your Duel Disk! Who knows what you'll encounter right?" She said and Haruto nodded. "Yes mom" as he collected his Duel Disk from the hallway, it was completely black as he attached it to his wrist. "I'll be going out, see you soon!" Haruto called back and heard his Mom respond. "Okay, be safe!" and he opened the door and shut it.
-Maiami City-
Haruto looked around, the City buildings weren't much of a difference compared to the last place they lived, but here, it was easy to make a landmark out of the LDS Corporation building and he was eager to explore, of course he did use his judgement looked thoughtful. "Now, where can I find a place to Duel?"Haruto thought and came across a park and saw Duelists about. "Perfect!" Haruto said lowly under his breath and looked for someone to duel.
Haruto saw to a girl who was being held up by a man much taller and well, bulkier than herself wearing a pair of blue pants and what appears to be a red sash on his abdomen, with a purple shirt with thick pauldrons along a blue jacket with apparently a pair of steel bracers and sandals, the girl on the other had blue eyes and dark pink mid back-length hair, which she wore in tied up in pigtails, clipped down by blue, spherical hair clips. Her hair also featured two lighter pink bangs that fall to the side of her face, her outfit consisting of a sleeveless light-blue and white shirt with a musical note on the right collar, along with a red tie, which she wears with a dark red skirt and dark stockings. "I told you before Gen! Yuya is not going to duel you!" The girl said to the one named Gen who bowed over her. "Really now? Perhaps he might get some incentive if I take you as a hostage perhaps?" Gen said in a bit of a threatening tone.
Haruto moved and spoke up. "Excuse me, but I think you're being kind of creepy with her." Haruto interrupted and the girl looked a bit relieved as Gen turned his attention on him,. "And who are you? Never seen your face around before." Gen asked, sizing him up.
"I moved here not too long ago, and I was going to ask this person for a Duel actually." Haruto nodded to the girl and Gen spoke. "She's not worth it, I'll give you an introduction instead." Gen said as Haruto looked thoughtful for a moment, the girl expressing her worry through her face.
"Sure, I'll accept your offer, in fact, how about you go first as to show me the ropes?" Haruto suggested and Gen agreed as the two moved to their places and Duel Disks activated.
Gen: 4000
Haruto: 4000
Gen spoke. "I summon Boulder Battleguard in ATK Mode!" before Gen stood a ogre wielding a mace club as the monster was draped in a dark blue cloth, growling.
Boulder Battleguard (LV4/1200/1500)
"I end my turn there, let's see what you got." Gen said with confidence as Haruto drawn his card and picked one out. "I summon Red Eyes Black Chick in ATK mode!"Haruto stated as a flash of light appeared before him was a small baby black dragon somewhat still in its dragon egg
Red Eyes B. Chick (LV1/800/500)
Gen had to laugh. "You summoned that little thing in ATK mode? My Battleguard will crush it to pieces." Gen said and Haruto smiled. "I wouldn't underestimate this little chick, you know saying, children go up so fast? Well, my chick is going to show you, I activate his ability, I can send my Chick to the graveyard and bring out Red Eyes Black Dragon!" A flash of light occurred on the monster before vanishing in its place stood the towering form of Red Eyes Black Dragon, letting off a roar and Gen was surprised.
Red-Eyes B. Dragon (LV 7/2400/2000)
"Red-Eyes?! But that's impossible, nobody uses those old cards!" Gen said in surprise and Haruto spoke. "That's the thing, people forget about the cards that came before the different summoning methods, so I decided to show people that even if a card this old exists, it still can win against the new cards, Red-Eyes, How giving that Boulder a taste of your breath? Inferno Fire Blast!" Haruto signalled and Red-Eyes gather flame in his mouth before shooting out a fire fireball, causing the monster to be destroyed.
"I'll end my turn there with one facedown, it's a change to see the surprised looks on people's faces on old cards." Haruto finished and Gen drawn his card.
Gen: 2800
Haruto: 4000
"I won't have you make a mockery of me, I draw and play Monster Reborn to revive my Boulder Battleguard then I summon Granite Battleguard!
Granite Battleguard - (LV3/1000/1200)
"Then his effect activates I special summon another Boulder Battleguard in my hand!" Granite Battleguard appeared wielding the same mace the Boulder but instead, he wore a red cloth skirt and had blue skin, looking menacingly.
"Now I send all three of my Battle Guards to the graveyard to Special Summon, Shaman Battleguard in ATK mode"The three battleguards disappeared in a flash before a much bigger one took their place wearing tribal clothing fit for a shaman with a skull necklace, skull mask and even somehow, the hands beings skulls
Shaman Battleguard (LV 10/2000/3000)
"What can you do with that? It's 400 points lower than my Red-Eyes." Haruto pointed out and Gen smirked. "I activate his effect, once per turn: I can target 1 monster you control and take control of it" gen said and Haruto was widening his eyes. "But that means-!" Haruto looked as the Shaman danced back and forth and Red-Eyes disappeared before appearing on Gen's side of the field. "You know you are right, it is a surprise to see the looks on people's face when old cards appear isn't it?, this is the end, Shaman Battleguard and Red-Eyes attack his life points directly!
The Shaman dashed in for a swipe before Red-Eyes was charging up its fireball and it made contact, causing smoke as the girl peeked through her eyes and when it parted, Haruto was still standing.
Gen: 2800
Haruto: 1800
"W-What, how did you survive?" I gave you 4400 points worth of damage!" Gen said in disbelief and Haruto looked at his Duel Disk. "It's simple, I activated my facedown card, Reverse Glasses! Yet another old card people have forgotten until the End Phase, all monster's ATK is cut in half! so I only received 2200." Haruto said, showing the card "I end my turn then! But with Shaman's effect if you summon a monster with higher ATK than the monster I control, then I can get control of your stronger monster and what's more if I control your monster, you cannot attack Shaman so you're stuck!" as Haruto drawn his card.
Gen: 2800
Haruto: 1800
"I see, you know, I don't like you stole my monster for your own gain, so I'm going to get him back." Haruto said and Gen looked at him. "Oh? Prove it then!" Gen boasted and Haruto activated a card. "I activate owner's Seal, thanks to this card, all cards return to their original owners., so return to my side Red-Eyes!"
Red-Eyes gave a roar and returned to his side as Gen was a bit stumped and Haruto continued. "I always put this card in the eventuality that someone manages to steal my monster, now, since you apparently shown me your ace, I'll show you mine." Haruto activated another card.
"I activate Gemini Tribute, I can target one monster on my side of the field and tribute it to Special Summon a Gemini monster of an equal or lower level, so I select my Red-Eyes and in exchange, I bring out his new and improved form! So come on out, my ace, Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!"
Red-Eyes B. Dragon disappeared only to be replaced with the same appearance however it now had red wings and there was streak of red on its body
Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon (LV 7/2400/200)
Gen spoke. "So it got a makeover, what else is new?" Gen said and Haruto continued.
"Oh, it's new alright, much more dangerous than its tamer form you seen before, I summon Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon!" Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon let off a roar as the wingspan of his wings ignited on fire and in its mouth was lighting up with the fire inside its belly and there wasn't a second Red-Eyes in sight not Gen or the girl who were confused
"Are you stupid? There's no other dragon here except that one." Gen said and Haruto spoke. "Yup, I summoned him again and with it, I just unlocked his true power,, watch... Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon will attack Shaman Battleguard with Inferno Flare Blast!" Haruto commanded as the monster fired a much denser fireball a sit made contact, the Shaman screamed before shattering.
"You only given me 400 points of damage, on my turn I'll-!" Gen was about to say before Haruto interrupted. "Actually you won't, you see, if I perform damage calculation with my Red-Eyes, as he's now a Gemini monster, his effect activates, when I end my battle Phase, I can inflict damage to your LP equal to that of my Dragon's so that's a total of 2400."
The fireball continued its path to gen and made contact, causing an explosion as his LP hit zero, he fell over, dazed and unconscious
Gen: 0
Haruto: 1800
The girl came up to Haruto as the Disks de-activated and she bowed. "Thank you for helping me Mister…?"
"I'm Haruto Makoto and please I'm no mister and you are…?" Haruto asked her and the girl gave a smile, "Yuzu Hiiragi, nice to meet you." The girl named Yuzu introduced herself and she looked to him. "That was a amazing Duel, I never seen such a Deck, perhaps you can join my school!" Yuzu said and Haruto blinked.
"Uh, your school?" Haruto asked and Yuzu realized her mistake. "Oh right, I'm in the You Show Duel School, we learn to give people Entertainment Duelling and do our best to ensure people's lives are happier." Yuzu explained and Haruto looked to her. "So um… what do you do exactly?"
"Well we practice with Solid Vision as we regularly perform Action Duels and do some stunts with the monsters, all safe of course! We don't risk lives if that's what you are thinking!" Yuzu said and Haruto looked intrigued.
"I never done an Action Duel before, I'm interested in what it's like, you see, I haven't exactly signed up for one despite having an invitation to the Maiami Championship." Haruto said sheepishly and Yuzu was surprised, evident in her tone/.
"You got an invitation without a school, that's something, well, would you perhaps come and see our school? We're always looking for new applicants." Yuzu said and Haruto looked thoughtful. "I don't see why I can't look, lead on Miss Hiiragi?" Haruto asked and Yuzu hit his shoulder a bit. "Yuzu's fine, Haruto."
The two newly introduced friends walked with Yuzu slightly a few paces ahead as Haruto thought to himself. "What would a duel with Solid Vision with Mass be like? Perhaps I can ride Red-Eyes!" Haruto was inwardly excited and pumped.
