Backlion and Rino faced each other, both still outside while the rain was drenching them. Both were standing up, and staring at each other's eyes.
"Your gaze... Will break." Backlion muttered.
"Will it now?" Rino growled. "I don't care what you did for me, or anyone else. But you're not right."
"I'm not right? This world isn't right Rino. But I will reverse the world, and make the bad, good!"
"Then what happens to the good?! They become bad! It's just like you, you became bad!!" Rino shouted at Backlion. He was then slapped across the face.
"You have no right to talk, you don't know what this world is like." Backlion twitched, his face fuming.
"I know fully well what this world is like.." Rino growled. "I don't even know my own mother..."
"And my mother is dead..." He replied.
"Mine is too." Rino spat. "We aren't too different, you know..."
"What separates me and you is that I try to do something about this crooked world." Backlion said. "I hate this world till the end. But if I can change it... Maybe something will come out of this hopeless barren for a world."
"You're wrong! This world isn't crooked! It's us! We're the crooked ones!!" Rino cried out, staring at Backlion, who punched him hard in the face.
"Really?"
"Yes... It's us... It was always, us...." Rino was then kneed in the stomach, landing him on the floor.
"I doubt that..." Backlion smothered his boot on Rino's face. "Rino..."

(Opening here)

"Okay, it's my turn. Stand and draw!" Rino declared. "I ride, Chronofang Tiger!"

He makes me sick to my stomach. As if he could understand what I'm doing. He uses "Chronoscommand Revolution" yet can't make a revolution of his own. Hah... This fight is too slow. I can't bear to listen to the voice of his... It's so high pitched... So feminine. Ugh! It doesn't suit him one bit!!
"Hurry up!!" I snap, trying to tune in the important bits while ciphering out the unimportant ones.
"Sorry..." He places a card into the drop zone and looks through the Stride Zone. He will be important to our plans, however, so I have to bear this fight until I beat him. If he hasn't ticked me off enough, he can't play Gear Chronicle for shit. Zeon would do much better. Heck, even Max.
"Okay, so I attack."
"Perfect guard..." I yawn. I can't believe we're fighting while the sky is grey, and the rain is the worst. The wind is harsh, and it seems like our cards could be blown away so easily...
"Critical trigger, everything to Magne. He attacks!"
"No guard." Two cards are put into the damage zone. As he ends his turn, he asks me something.
"Hey... Backlion. I know I'm not the right person to ask, nor am I in place too... But... Why did you join the Яeverse?"
Oh, this question... There's this sudden urge. Oh well. I can fix his mind even after it... After all, that's what my Neo Psyqualia does. It scrambles memories.
"If you want to know about why... Then I'll tell you the story of it. This is the story, of the Blue Spider, the nickname of Backlion Demiza."

"The incy wincy spider climbs up the water spout. Out came the rain and washed the spider out. Out came the sunshine that dried up all the rain, and the incy wincy spider climbed up the spout again." Backlion sang happily. "I love this song!"
"I know you do, Backlion." His mother laughed as she held his hand as they walked back to their house.
"Spiders are so cool! I want to have a pet spider mom!!"
"You can be the Blue Spider sweetie. After all, you love the colour blue." She ruffled his hair.
"Yeah! I'm gonna dye my hair blue and become a blue spider!!" He giggled. "Mommy, how is daddy?"
"Daddy is doing much better now sweetie. He's not in hospital now, he's back at home."
"So his illness is cured?" Backlion asked, grin wide across his face.
"No, not exactly." His mother explained. "He's still sick..."
"Oh..."
"Don't worry about it though, he'll get better."
"I hope so."

An older Backlion growled. "Man, I didn't realise dark blue dye would look this bad against my hair... Oh well, I'll switch to light blue another time." He laughed.
"BACKLION!" His older brother called out.
"Yeah??" Backlion replied.
"Hikaru just collapsed, we need to call 999!!"
"Hikaru just c-collapsed?! Holy shizzle nuggets..." Backlion rushed to go get a phone.
"HURRY!!"
"I know, I know..." Backlion muttered as he switched on his phone and began to call. "I need an Ambulance, my baby brother just collapsed!!"

"Is he... Going to be okay?" Backlion swallowed hard.
"Same condition as dad..." His older brother growled.
"Damn it..." Backlion cursed.
"It's okay, Cyrus, Backlion. Hikaru'll be alright." Their mother said, laying a hand on each shoulder.
"I hope so..." Cyrus sighed.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit!!" Backlion cursed loudly for the first time.

"I'm sorry, but there's no easy way to tell you this. Hikaru's in critical condition and could die any second now. I'm sorry we didn't catch this sooner..." The doctor said in a sad tone, angry that this had to happen.
"It's... Okay." Backlion's mom said weakly, sighing for what has just happened.
"I hate this world... I hate it..." Backlion cursed.

"Backlion..." His mother sobbed uncontrollably. He was now a little more older, a bit younger than how old he is today.
"What happened?!" Backlion asked in a panic, his hair dyed light blue, and returned home from school.
"Your father... He..."
"He what?! Did his operation work?!" Backlion shouted, getting desperate.
"He died..." She mumbled coldly.
"...FUCK!!" Backlion screamed at the top of his lungs, dropping to the floor. "THIS WORLD... THIS UNFAIR WORLD!! I HATE IT! THIS FUCKING WORLD! I HATE IT, I HATE IT, I HATE IT, I HATE IT, I HATE IT!!" He screamed, breaking down into a mess of tears of sadness and anger for his dead father, as he pulled tightly against his hair, screaming and crying as he shouted curses and how much he hated the world.

At school, Backlion was doing slightly better, but had some form of anxiety. He became a flirt to see if he could make something useful out of his talking skills, and joined the School Council with Ayaza. When Backlion returned to school one day, he found something out, after Cyrus went missing.
"So, what actually happened to Cyrus..." His mother sighed. "He went to go crash with his friend and live off the money they have there."
"..." Backlion was surprised. "No way..."
"Since we were too poor, he left us..." She sobbed. "I'm sorry Backlion... I'm so sorry..." She hugged him tightly.
"...what about Hikaru...?"
"He's still in critical condition..."

However, the worst was yet to come.
"Hey mom..." He returned home one day, but to see a disgusting sight. His mother was hung on the kitchen ceiling and had a noose around her neck. She had committed suicide. "No, no, no, no, MOM YOU CAN'T BE DEAD!!" He grabbed his phone out of his pocket and phoned for an ambulance. When it did come, she was pronounced dead.

Backlion one day was crying in the boys bathroom, breaking down. 
"You, seem strong." The Void whispered.
"I'm weak..."
"Do you need help then?"
"Hah, no..."
"Your heart wavers, yet it stands still. Incredible."
"Who are you?" Backlion asked. "Or am I crazy?"
"The Void. I am the Void. I'm here to try and find the perfect vessel to ReLIGHT the world. Bring a good change to it."
"Change this rotten old earth? Please..." Backlion laughed sadly. "I've had everything dear to me crushed. I'm only living for my friends... If they even exist."
"Isn't Zeon Ishima your friend?"
"He's the only reason why I've lasted so long. I've borrowed so much money... I don't know..."
"He must think of you as a good person if he does that. What about Yumi Kyoko?"
"The pres huh... I don't know, I don't care."
"You've flirted with her though,"
"That's practice for when I actually do my flirting..."
"Never mind. But we have similar wants."
"As in?"
"We both want this rotten world to be remade."
"Yes... Yes, we do."
"Let's team up. I need a Human Vessel to do what I must. This can be a partnership deal."
"Alright then, fine. Let's do it." Backlion nodded.
"Prepare to give your flesh and blood to me, and sacrifice your freedom for the sake of the world." The Void announced.
"I'm useless as I am right now." Backlion wiped his tears. "So, I will make use out of myself. Those words, will be my morals."
"Those, are good." The Void said with a bit of happiness. "Let me become... Backlion Demiza."

I poured my heart out on how I came to be. How I am the Void, and at the same time Backlion Demiza. However, Rino had a hand cover his mouth as tears rolled down his cheeks, a sorry face looking at me. We were very deep into our game.
"How... How could you live with all that... Pain?" He mumbled, crying as he said so.
"How can you cry over what happened to me?"
"It's horrible... So terrible... Toxic... How..." Rino sobbed. "I feel so sorry for you... But... How could you let the Void become you so easily?!"
"Simple. Because those without use, shall be given use. I live by those rules."
"I don't know whose talking anymore... Is it the Void, or is it Backlion?!"
"It's me, Backlion. And it's me, the Void. I am both, and at the same time neither. Oh, you should look at your hand and damage. Five damage, two cards in hand. I wonder how that happened..." I sighed.
"D-damn it, I was distracted by your story, wasn't I...?" His eyes widened.
"Yep, now Spectral Duke Annihilation shall finish the game." I said simply, turning the card.

|||

A card hit Rino's damage zone. It was game over, defeat.
"Oh no..."
"You know what's next?" Backlion grabbed Reform-calling Gear Eagle from his vanguard circle. "You will become, Яeversed!" He slammed it back down, as a black ring with red light swallowed Rino.
"No, this can't be...?!?!"
"Bye, bye, Rino. Your powers will be great use to me. But first, let me scramble your memory..." Backlion's Psyqualia activated, it glowing gold as he stared at Rino's purple eyes.
"Never!!" Rino shouted back as he was being Яeversed. His Psyqualia activated, his eyes glowing purple. Suddenly, Backlion was having difficulty trying to scramble his memories.
"What? What's this... Your Neo Psyqualia power is too... Forcibly negate other powers?" Backlion said, intrigued. "I think I just won myself a very valuable asset to the Яeverse."
"GAAAAAH!!" Rino shouted as he dropped to his knees, and as the light cleared, his eyes were marked with blood red underneath. "..."
"Now, you are with me, the Яeverse." Backlion clapped.
"Are you... Strong?" Rino asked, clicking his finger joints with his thumb.
