Yudai tossed and turned in bed, beads of cold sweat trickling down his face. The torment of a troubling dream was evident on his face.
Yudai opened his eyes to a space
of complete darkness. There was nothing to see and he felt no presence of life, he was just floating around in an endless void.
"Where...am I?" he asked no-one. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he say a Vanguard card appear. It was unmistakably the 'Little Sage, Marron' from the Royal Paladin clan.
"Help us, mighty warrior" he heard someone say that sounded like a little boy. He looked around to see if anyone was around, but say nobody.
"Please, help us." He heard again. He turned to the Marron card coming to conclusion that the voice came from him.
"Did you say that?" He asked the card, but he turned around to see two more cards appeared: Dimension Creeper and Deity Sealing Kid, Soh Koh.
" Please help us, mister."
"You must assist us in our time of need, child of the living."
Just as he wanted to ask why the wanted his help, more and more cards appeared, one by one, forming a rising pillar around him, all chanting the same thing:
"Help us. Save us."
The kept repeating this phrase until Yudai couldn't take it anymore. He shut his eyes, clutched his head and dropped to his knees, hoping that it would stop. But it didn't. Hundreds of units continued to ask for their salvation, pushing Yudai to the point where he couldn't take it anymore and he yelled out of desparation, and as he did, the space around him shattered like glass and the voices went silent.

When Yudai opened his eyes, he was in a void like before, but it was completely white. He scanned his surroundings and noticed he was sitting on a throne and was wearing a sleeveless black jacket that was zipped up to his upper chest revealing a sleeveless white shirt. He had black pants that stopped at his lower legs and wore boots. He had a white cloth belted around his waist that also stopped a his lower legs. During his scanning, he saw a throne either side of him with a people sitting in each. One of them was undoubtedly Roka, wearing a necklace shaped like a heart with wings on either side of it, a radiant white dress and sandals. In the other throne was a boy his age that he didn't know with blond hair with gold highlights and he was wearing a white shirt, a white ands gold trench coat, white pants with a gold belt and brown loafers.
"What's with the weird threads? And more importantly, what's with the setting?" He asked himself.
In front of them, two planets materialised in a flash of light. One of them was Earth and the other looked very similar, but it wasn't familiar to him.
"You must save your planet, Earth, and our planet, Cray." The two planets spoke on a commanding voice.
"You must work together in order to keep the balance stable. You are the only ones capable of this because you are the only ones with the power to do so. Also, you must stop the evil that threatens to inflict total discord on both of our worlds. I entrust of fates to you. For you are the Messiahs of Earth, and you are destined to keep the peace. Good luck to you and be cautious of your opponents. I bid you farewell."
And at that moment, Yudai woke up, greeted by the sun shining on his face.
