Chapter 1: A Nightmare Vision! The Fated Duel Draws Near!

An empty void. Nothing but darkness. And yet, one boy keeps running through it. The boy ran as fast as he could, hoping to get away from his pursuer. He wasn't having such good luck. His assailant was riding on top of what looked like a giant dragon-like shadow. The boy kept running till he reached a dead end. He then turned and faced his attacker.

? – "Run All You Want Boy! You'll Never Defeat The True Power Of Darkness!"

? – "Say what you want! I'll still find a way to beat you!"

? – "Bet you won't talk so tough…ONCE I'M THROUGH WITH YOU!"

The giant dragon shadow attacked the boy. Before the deed was truly done, the boy woke up in a cold sweat.

? – "Not again…"

The young man's name is Michael Masi. Michael had been having this exact same nightmare every week for the last month now.

Michael – "I'm starting to think that this is becoming some kind of vision now, instead of being just a recurring nightmare. And there's no doubt, the person on top of that dragon-like shadow… Is Rensho himself."

Michael was one of only two people that truly knew who Rensho was. The rest of his friends barely knew anything about Rensho at all. The only other person that truly knew about him, had been lying in bed right beside Michael all night.

Michael – "I swear, there are times that girl can be so damn cute when she's asleep."

Michael is 21 right now. He's been a Pro Duelist for 13 years now, with the last 11 of them being a licensed Turbo Duelist as well. Michael is also known as a multi-deck user most of the time, meaning that he uses AT LEAST two decks for most of his duels. This multi-deck format of his had made him into a household name since his first of five straight Fortune Cup wins. Michael has also won four WRGP titles as well, with the first one being during his rookie year as a turbo duelist. Michael dueled as a one man team, despite the rules stating that he needed a three man team to enter. Michael had to actually beat an official three man team to take their spot and qualify for his first ever WRGP. Sadly, he nearly lost that chance. One month after obtaining his turbo license, Michael had been involved in an accident, with the injuries he suffered being fatal. Michael's father, John, was told that it would be an absolute miracle if Michael not only survived, but also got back to 100% health as well. Rex Goodwin, who was still the director of New Domino City at the time, said that there was only one way to save Michael's life.

John – "So what do we have to do?"

Rex – "You still have Crimson's soul on you, right?"

John – "Yeah. Why?"

Roman – "My brother and I were thinking of transferring Crimson's soul over to Michael, thus saving his life and making him the new Crimson Guardian in the process."

John – "Do you think that could work?"

Rex – "There's nothing else that we can do John! It's either this or you lose your son for good!"

John knew he wasn't left with much of a choice in the first place.

John – "Fine then. Let's do it."

Not only was the operation a complete success, but Michael also proved to everyone that said he wouldn't be able to come back from his injuries wrong. He won every duel in both the Fortune Cup and WRGP in near flawless perfection. However, the operation also caused a kind of soul transformation in Michael. This came to light during his time as an undercover agent for Rex in the Arcadia Movement. One of its members, Toby Tredwell, the brother of actress and future Dark Signer Misty Tredwell, had died during an experiment. Michael had barged in to save Toby and challenged Sayer, who was the mastermind behind the Arcadia Movement.

Michael – "That's far enough Sayer!"

Sayer – "If you want to truly stop me, then beat me in a duel first."

Michael – "Fine then!"

Computer – "Multi-Deck System On."

Michael/Sayer – "Duel"

Michael - Decks: 2, LP: 4,000, Hand:5/5

Sayer - Decks: 1, LP: 8,000, Hand: 5

Turn 1: Michael

Michael – "I'll start. I draw! First, I summon Red-Eyes Black Chick in defense mode!"

A little girl with black hair and red eyes appeared in front of the sideways card, along with a nearly intact red dragon egg shell beside her. The girl also had a small pair of wings and a small tail. This little girl was in fact Red-Eyes Black Chick's female human form.

Red-Eyes Black Chick - Lv. 1, ATK: 800, DEF: 500

Michael – "Then, by her effect, I can tribute her to special summon her adult form, Red-Eyes Black Dragon, from my hand in attack mode."

A more adult version of the little girl appeared in front of the upright card. The wings and tail had also gotten bigger. This is Red-Eyes Black Dragon's female human form.

Red-Eyes Black Dragon - Lv. 7, ATK: 2,400, DEF: 2,000

Michael – "By why stop there."

Sayer – "What do you mean by that?"

Michael – "By her effect from my hand, I can tribute Red-Eyes Black Dragon to special summon my beloved and true ace, Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon!"

Red-Eyes Black Dragon had gained what looked like armor. Her wings and tail had gotten armor as well. Her red eyes had also seemed to get a shade darker.

Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon - Lv. 9, ATK: 2,400, DEF: 2,000

Michael – "You doing alright?"

Red-Eyes – "Just fine. Thanks for asking."

Sayer – "I don't see what the big change is. Her attack power is the same as before."

Michael – "Not quite. You see, Red-Eyes' effect allows her to gain 300 ATK for each Dragon-Type monster in my graveyard. I currently have 2, so that's 600 ATK!"

(2 x 300 = 600)

Red-Eyes's ATK: 2,400 + 600 = 3,000

Michael – "That's not all! Thanks to my multi-deck system, I'm allowed to normal summon once for each deck I'm currently using. Since I have two decks on me, I'm allowed to normal summon twice per turn."

Sayer – "That seems fair I suppose."

Michael – "For my second normal summon, I summon Performapal Whip Snake in defense mode."

Performapal Whip Snake - Lv. 4, ATK: 1,700, DEF: 900

Michael - "I'll also throw down a couple of face downs and end my turn."

Michael - Decks: 2, LP: 4,000, Hand: 2/4

Sayer - Decks: 1, LP: 8,000, Hand: 5

Turn 2: Sayer

Sayer – "My turn. I draw. First, I summon Psychic Snail in attack mode."

Psychic Snail - Lv. 4, ATK: 1,900, DEF: 1,200

Sayer - "Then I'll place one card face down and end my turn."

Michael - Decks: 2, LP: 4,000, Hand: 2/4

Sayer - Decks: 1, LP: 8,000, Hand: 4

Turn 3: Michael

Michael – "I summon the Tuner Monster Debris Dragon and Performapal Flip Hippo!"

Debris Dragon - Lv. 4, ATK: 1,000, DEF: 2,000

Performapal Flip Hippo - Lv. 3, ATK: 800, DEF: 800

Michael – "And thanks to Flip Hippo's effect, when its normal summoned, I can special summon a Performapal monster from my hand, but its effects are negated. The one I choose is Performapal Longphone Bull!"

Performapal Longphone Bull - Lv. 4, ATK: 1,600, DEF: 1,200

Michael – "Might as well have some extra support out just in case he tries something. I tune my Level 4 Debris Dragon with my Level 3 Performapal Flip Hippo! Spread those wondrous and beautiful wings, and strike down our enemies at light speed! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 7! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!"

(4 + 3 = 7)

A woman with blue eyes and hair with both light and dark shades of blue appeared in front of the white synchro card. The woman also had on what looked like a suit of white cybernetic armor with green highlights. This is Clear Wing's female human form.

Clear Wing Synchro Dragon - Lv. 7, ATK: 2,500, DEF: 2,000

Sayer – "Incredible! Seems like this boy is thinking that I'm gonna try something sneaky. I've never seen this synchro monster before though, so I don't know what its abilities are. Better play it safe for now."

Michael – "And don't forget, Debris Dragon is a Dragon-Type monster. That means that Red-Eyes gains another 300 ATK points."

Red-Eyes's ATK: 3,000 + 300 =3,300

Sayer – "Damn."

Michael – "My turn's over."

Michael - Decks: 2, LP: 4,000, Hand: 2/3

Sayer - Decks: 1, LP: 8,000, Hand: 4

Turn 4: Sayer

Sayer – "My turn again then. I draw. First I'll play Psi-Station. Now whenever I normal summon a Psychic-Type monster, by paying 500 Life Points, this card can increase the summoned monster's ATK by 300 and it's Level by one. And by the way, I normal summon Psychic Commander in attack mode."

Psychic Commander - Lv. 3, ATK: 1,400, DEF: 800

Sayer – "And thanks to Psi-Station's effect, its ATK increases by 300 and Level by 1."

Psychic Commander's Lv. 3 + 1 = 4, ATK: 1,400 = 300 = 1,700

Sayer's LP: 8,000 - 500 = 7,500

Sayer – "And now I tune my Psychic Snail with my Psychic Commander! Surge, my black mist of vengeance. Synchro Summon! Mental Sphere Demon, Thought Ruler Archfiend!"

(4 + 4 = 8)

Thought Ruler Archfiend - Lv. 8, ATK: 2,700, DEF: 2,300

Sayer – "And now I think I'll attack your Whip Snake. Thought Ruler Archfiend! Take out his wimpy reptile!"

Michael – "Hold it! I activate my face down! The spell Soul Retarget! Whenever you attack one of my monsters whose ATK is lower than yours, this spell changes the attack target to the monster with the highest ATK on my field."

Sayer – "But that means…"

Michael – "Your Thought Ruler Archfiend's new attack target…is my 3,300 ATK Red-Eyes!"

Thought Ruler Archfiend attacks Red-Eyes, but she dodges and counterattacks.

Michael – "Just be thankful. This spell keeps your monster from being destroyed by battle."

(3,300 - 2,700 = 600)

Sayer's LP: 7,500 - 600 = 6,900

Sayer – "I place another three cards face down and end my turn. But just to make sure…"

Sayer hits a button on the remote control in his hand. Electricity starts running through Toby's body as he screams in pain. After a few seconds, Sayer shuts off the machine.

Michael – "Toby! Toby!"

Michael calls out to his friend, but gets nothing in response.

Michael – "TOBY!"

One of the doctors check for a pulse, but after a few moments, he shakes his head, confirming that Toby is dead. Michael falls to his knees in despair.

Red-Eyes – "That's low Sayer! Even for you!"

Clear Wing – "Yeah! You heartless coward!"

Sayer – "Just tying up some loose ends."

Suddenly, Red-Eyes and Clear Wing's heads fall forward. Then their heads come back up, but their eyes seem completely different. Michael's eyes were the same as theirs.

Sayer – "What's going on here?!"

Michael - Decks: 2, LP: 4,000, Hand: 2/4

Sayer - Decks: 1, LP: 6,900, Hand: 0

Turn 5: Michael

Michael – "My… Turn! I Overlay My Level 4 Whip Snake And Longphone Bull! Fangs Of Pitch-Black Darkness…Rise Up Against The Foolish Oppression! Descend Now! Xyz Summon! Come Forth! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!"

A black haired woman with yellow eyes stood in front of the black xyz card. Her outfit was all black with purple and silver highlights. At her hips were two swords that were curved from hilt to tip. This is the female human form of Dark Rebellion. Her eyes also had the same enraged look as Michael and the others.

Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon - Rk. 4, ATK: 2,500, DEF: 2,000, Overlay Units: 2

Sayer – "Before you try anything else, I activate my two face downs, Psychic Generator and Psychic Plant. These two cards will keep my Thought Ruler Archfiend from being destroyed at all."

Michael's anger kept rising. Sayer's Thought Ruler Archfiend was actually scared of the aura coming off of Michael's body.

Sayer – "Thought Ruler Archfiend, what's wrong?"

Michael – "You're all trying to act like mighty animals…But Insects Are Insects!"

The shadow of a giant crimson dragon appeared behind Michael. Sayer and his monster were now even more scared than before.

Michael – "Magic Card, Phantom Knights Of Possession! An Xyz Monster I Control Is Treated As The Level Of Another Monster On The Field! My Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon Takes Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon's Level 9!"

Dark Rebellion's Rk. 4 - Lv. 9

Michael – "I Overlay My Level 9 Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon and Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon! Queen Of Dragons! Resurrect From The Deep Darkness And Burn Everything In The World With Flames Of Anger! Xyz Summon! Come Forth! Rank 9! The Blazing Queen Called By Calamity! Supreme Queen Violent Dragon, Red-Eyes Darkness Raging Dragon!"

A woman that had Red-Eyes face and body shape, but a few characteristics of Dark Rebellion as well appeared.

Red-Eyes Darkness Raging Dragon - Rk. 9, ATK: 3,900, DEF: 3,500, Overlay Units: 2

Akiza – "Red-Eyes Darkness…"

Sayer – "…Raging Dragon…"

Michael – "I activate Overlay Recall! At least one monster that was used for an Xyz Summon is special summoned back to my field! Return to me! Red-Eyes! Dark Rebellion!"

Both girls returned to Michael's field.

Michael – "Red-Eyes Darkness Raging Dragon's Effect. For every Dragon-Type monster on my field and in my graveyard, she gains 500 ATK and an additional attack! I Have Three Dragons In My Graveyard And Another Three On My Field, So She Gains 3,000 ATK And Six Additional Attacks!"

Red-Eyes Raging's ATK: 3,900 + 3,000 = 6,900

Red-Eyes Raging's Additional Attacks: 0 + 6 = 6

Michael – "Then, For Each Additional Attack From Her First Effect That Is Removed, She Gains Another 1,000 ATK! I Remove All Six Additional Attacks, So She Gains Another 6,000 ATK!"

Red-Eyes Raging's Additional Attacks: 6 - 6 = 0

Red-Eyes Raging's ATK: 6,900 + 6,000 = 12,900

Michael – "Next, I Detach All Overlay Units And All Cards On My Opponent's Field Are Destroyed, And She Gains 500 ATK For Each One!"

Sayer – "Idiot. Did you forget? Because of Psychic Generator, Psychic-Type monsters can't be destroyed. And because of Psychic Plant's effect, this protection is doubled."

Michael – "At this time, all spell and trap effects on the field are negated."

Sayer – "What was that?"

Akiza – "How vicious…"

Red-Eyes Raging uses her effect to destroy all the cards on Sayer's field.

Red-Eyes Raging's Overlay Units: 2 - 2 = 0

Michael – "Six cards were destroyed. Then Red-Eyes Darkness Raging Dragon gains 3,000 ATK."

Red-Eyes Raging's ATK: 12,900 + 3,000 = 15,900

Sayer – "N-No way…"

Michael – "Battle."

Sayer – "Nice try, but one of the cards you destroyed can negate your attack while it's in the graveyard. All I have to do is activate it, and next turn I'll…"

Michael – "There Won't Be Another Turn!"

Sayer was caught off-guard by Michael's sudden response.

Michael – "Red-Eyes Darkness Raging Dragon Can Attack Twice Per Turn!"

Red-Eyes Darkness Raging began building up energy for an attack. Her aura began to flare.

Michael – "Red-Eyes Darkness Raging Dragon Attacks Directly! DARK FLARE DESTRUCTION RAGE BURST!"

Sayer's LP: 6,900 - 15,900 = 0

Michael wins.

Michael's energy suddenly started flaring. He then ran out of the room and onto the roof of the building. A voice suddenly called out from behind him.

Akiza – "Michael!"

Akiza stood in the doorway, staring at the man she loved. She quickly walked over to him.

Michael – "Akiza. I-"

Akiza suddenly pushed her lips against Michael's before pushing him off the roof. Michael floated a few feet away from Akiza. He always had the power of flight since he became the Crimson Guardian.

Akiza – "Get moving. I'll throw them off your tail."

Michael – "Thank you."

Akiza – "And one more thing. Please be careful."

Michael – "Don't worry. I always do."

Michael flew off, while Akiza distracted the rest of the movement's members. The scene then returns to Michael's manor with him in the kitchen making breakfast.

Michael – "Since then, I've made so many friends through dueling. Some of them have even faced the same threats and problems that Red-Eyes and I have faced before. But now, we have to bring everyone together. Otherwise, Rensho wins. If I do fight him, I'll do it beside my friends, not alone. I almost paid a heavy price the last time I tried that."

Red-Eyes – "Mornin'…"

Red-Eyes has black hair and red eyes (As her name states), along with a white t-shirt and three-quarter thigh-length shorts, as well as black boots with red trim that only went above her ankles. Her black hair was also tied in a single ponytail. Despite the fact that she was fully dressed, Red-Eyes was still half-awake.

Michael – "Still trying to wake up?"

Red-Eyes – "Yes…"

Michael – "Here."

Michael handed Red-Eyes a mug.

Red-Eyes – "Thank you."

She took a sip and enjoyed it. Black coffee and tea with a bit of honey mixed into it. And it was always the way that Michael made it that she liked it best. Michael had called the drink Red-Eyes Honey Cofftea, just to try and rival the Blue-Eyes White Dragon tea his friend Jack Atlas gets. Michael then came up from behind Red-Eyes, putting his arms around her waist and kissing her on the cheek.

Michael – "Feel better?"

Red-Eyes – "Much better, thank you for asking."

Michael let go of Red-Eyes and started walking around the table. Red-Eyes quickly put the mug down.

Red-Eyes – "Wait a sec!"

Red-Eyes walked over to Michael before he could clear the table's corner and pulled him towards her. She then kissed him on the mouth.

Red-Eyes – "I love you so much."

Michael – "I love you too."

The relationship between them hadn't always been like this. When they first met each other, the two of them got along great. As time went on, their relationship became more of something like a brother-sister bond. A few years ago, they finally confessed their feelings for each other and have been a couple ever since.

Red-Eyes – "I don't mind having a relationship like the one I have with Michael. I also don't mind "sharing" him with other girls either."

What Red-Eyes means is that there are three other girls that she "shares" Michael with. Those three girls are Alexis Rhodes, Akiza Izinski, and Kari Tsukumo. Red-Eyes is already good friends with Akiza during her time with Michael going undercover in the Arcadia Movement. As for Alexis and Kari, her relationships with them were a bit rocky at first, but over time she came to know the two of them better. Despite the fact that the three have all admitted to Red-Eyes that they have feelings for Michael, the trio haven't been able to meet each other physically to admit it yet. Maybe this duel of fate could be what leads to the chance meeting.

Red-Eyes – "I'll run the idea of them meeting by Michael. I'm pretty sure that he'd want them to meet each other as well."

Alfred, the ever loyal butler, came down to make sure everything was clean and tidy.

Red-Eyes – "Morning Alfred."

Alfred – "Morning to you as well Lady Red-Eyes."

Alfred then noticed Michael's spaced out look.

Alfred – "You okay there master Michael?"

What Michael said next surprised Alfred.

Michael – "Alfred. Any chance you could watch over the manor for a bit?"

Alfred – "Not at all. But what for?"

Michael – "It's time…that I bring everyone together."

Red-Eyes – "Whatever for?"

Michael – "When you woke up this morning Red-Eyes, did you find a wet spot on the bed where my back would normally be?"

Red-Eyes – "I was just about to say that I did. Why do you ask?"

Michael was just about to say why, but Red-Eyes already had her answer.

Red-Eyes – "Wait! You didn't have another nightmare, did you?"

Red-Eyes walked over to Michael and put a hand on his cheek, making sure that he was alright.

Michael – "It felt more like a vision than a nightmare this time. That's why I have to bring everyone together."

Red-Eyes – "You don't think that just the two of us can beat him?"

Michael – "Don't tell me that you nearly forgot what happened the last time. I almost lost you. And I don't want to ever go through that again."

Red-Eyes – "I know. I don't want it to happen either. But we made a promise that if I'm destroyed in battle during a duel, you'll continue on without me, right?"

Michael – "I'll try the best I can."

Red-Eyes – "Atta' boy."

They quickly worked out a plan of action. Michael and Red-Eyes would travel through a portal to Yugi and Jaden's worlds, come back here for Yusei, leave again for Yuma and Yuya's worlds, and come back a second time to work out a plan to beat Rensho.

Alfred – "Would you like for me to explain the situation to master Yusei?"

Michael – "Could you please Alfred? That would make things so much easier."

Alfred – "I'll get right on it once you both depart."

Michael quickly opened a portal against the near wall of the kitchen.

Red-Eyes – "See you later then Alfred!"

The duo jumped through the portal. Once it closed, Alfred went off to the lab that Yusei was working at to tell him about the current situation.
