Yu-Gi-Oh Arc-V: Rewriting Destinies

Chapter 9: Yuya Sakaki vs Yusaku Fujiki

Yuya was sleeping, rolling over to his side when he winced at the feeling of a light in front of his face. 

He opened his eyes tiredly as he stared forward before his eyes settled on his deck where it was glowing. 

He blinked before sitting up quickly as he picked up his deck before leafing through it before finding the glow card which was his Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. 

He picked it up as he curiously watched it glow as suddenly a sharp pain went through his head. His head throbbed with pain as a barrage of memories started to filter through his mind. 

Memories of people he had met just a few days but they were different from the people he met. 

"What... did I just see?" 

Yuya laid back down onto the bed as he stared up at the ceiling. 

He blinked. 

Later that day...

"Yuto?" Yuya asked suddenly while he and Yuto were taking a walk around. 

"Hmm?" 

"Do you ever have weird dreams?" Yuya asked tentatively. 

"Yeah, once in a while why?" Yuto asked. 

"Well... I have dreams of you, and Yugo and Yuri. But you're so different. Like you guys are... tougher, darker even." Yuya said. 

"Like darker how?" Yuto asked looking directly at Yuya. 

Yuya stares back at Yuto. 

"Like you glared more. You looked more upset.  Yugo was mostly the same yet very desperate and determined. Yuri had this creepy grin on his face." Yuya said shuddering at the mental image of a psycho Yuri. 

"I've been thinking... when Yugi and Atem told me that you guys were my counterparts and soulmates... then there must be something more than just being connected or sharing a face right? Something we don't know or maybe forgot..." 

Yuto was quiet, looking thoughtful. 

"Perhaps, it's something innate about being counterparts... Maybe there are many versions of us that exist in other dimensions?" Yuto suggested. 

In the XYZ Dimension...

Yuma was relaxing in his bedroom in the attic of his house, going through his deck when all of a sudden, his emperor key lit up, glowing. 

Astral quickly emerged from the key, looking confused and bewildered at Yuma. 

"Hey, what's happening?" 

"I'm not sure, Yuma." 

Then, suddenly the key shot forward, dragging Yuma forward, yanking him by the neck as he was forced to follow, stumbling to his feet.

He clumsily ran out of the attic, through to his bedroom, through the living room and raced out the door. 

His grandmother called after him with him only being able to say, "I'll be back for dinner!" 

Astral followed along with a struggling, stumbling Yuma as the two of them could only wonder what was going on. 

In the Original Dimension... 

There was a young boy that was relaxing by the window in a classroom, drawing and sketching into a blank paged notebook. With silver hair highlighted by green streaks and bright yellow eyes, this was the original Yu-Boy, Zarc.
