Before the split of the dimensions...it's a sunny day in Den City. People are rushing back and fourth all excited for the championship duel that was taking place. The day before in the finals, a girl who looked the Bracelet girls named Ray had defeated a boy named Zarc to advance to duel the world champion. The world champion had excited the crowd with the news of a brand new summoning technique. Before the competition, Ray is looking at her deck in her private room. A knock is heard on her door. She goes over and opens it to reveal a boy. The boy looked like the Y/N counterparts, Y/N Muto. The descendant of the King of Games himself.

Ray: What are you doing here? You know it's against the rules to see each other before the competition.

Y/N: I didn't get to congratulate you yesterday after you defeated Zarc. You were swarmed by reporters.

Ray: I tried to get with you but it lasted all day and before I knew it, it was night.

Y/N: You still could've asked me to come over.

Ray: My father wouldn't like that.

Y/N: You're dad loves me.

Ray: Anyway, that new summoning technique better be worth all the hype that is going around.

Y/N: It is. Don't worry.

Ray: I mean, Pendulum was introduced by Zarc not too long ago. You announcing another new one and being the descendant of the King of Games has gotten everyone stirred up.

Y/N: Can't help that I like to put on a show. Have you seen Zarc?

Ray: I haven't. He's been kind of AWOL the last few days.

Y/N: That's strange. Do you think they'll show up?

Ray: The Hanoi wouldn't dare try to do something today. They are outmatched greatly in numbers.

The two look outside to see the festivities.

Ray: It's crazy that tournament got so big. It was sponsored by the Museum of Dueling. They were excited to finally find the deck of your ancestor.

Y/N: It's nuts. It wasn't too long ago that I found out that I was related to the great Yugi Muto.

Ray: You got famous and then the tournament was set up. A world wide tournament. All just to duel you.

Ray leans her head on Y/N's shoulder.

Ray: You gonna tell me what deck you're going to use? Dark Magician? Red Eyes? Blue Eyes?

Y/N: I'm not telling you.

Ray: Not only are you famous for your descendant but also having the largest duel monster cards in the world.

Y/N: The descendant of Kaiba and I are friends. He wants to duel but you beat him to along the way to the championship. He's still disappointed.

Ray: Nothing beats my Melodious Deck. So far anyway. Have you seen Skye or Emma?

Y/N: No. They're setting up the private after party with Yusaku.

Ray: He's helping?

Y/N: They convinced him. Somehow.

Ray: I'm glad he's helping.

Y/N: Why are you so happy? You're not cheating on me are you?

Ray: We would have to be dating for that to happen.

Y/N: Yeah. I guess so.

Y/N looks a little sad but hides it from Ray.

Ray: I thought Zarc would've come at least. All three of us have been together forever.

Y/N: Yeah. I'm just glad you're happy with him.

Ray: Thanks. You really were our big supporter.

Y/N fakes a laugh but Ray doesn't catch it.

Ray: You should get going. We don't need people talking.

Y/N: (Sigh) I guess so. Good luck. You'll need it.

Ray: May the best person win!

Y/N wraps his arms around Ray. She returns the gesture.

Ray: Thanks for visiting. Now go!

Y/N chuckles and leaves. Ray stands by herself in her room. Y/N stands just right outside the room.

Y/N/Ray: If only things were different.

In the stadium, anyone who could buy a ticket were there. This was a historic championship and the hype was raised to unbelievable heights.

Announcer: Everyone, welcome. Please take your seats. The duel is about to begin.

Spectators take their seats as the duel begins.

Announcer: Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the moment you've all been waiting for! The championship duel of the tournament! This duel had all the best duelists in the world but only one came out on top. She's a girl that has won the heart of millions thanks to her lovable personality! Everyone, put your hands together and please welcome: Ray!

Ray walks outside through her tunnel and everyone cheers. She smiles and waves.

Ray: Hello, everyone! Let's have fun today. Okay?

Announcer: Now it's time to introduce the person we've all been waiting for. He's the descendant of the King of Games himself. Also the owner of the largest collection of Duel Monsters cards. He's the hype of the tournament! Please welcome the current King of Games: Y/N Muto!

Y/N walks out of his tunnel with a serious look on his face. Everyone cheers. Especially the ladies. Y/N and Ray get set to face each other.

Annoucner: Both duelists, please get set to begin!

Ray: Good luck, Y/N.

Y/N: Same to you!

Y/N and Ray get set to duel. But before the duel could begin, a large blast of energy fires and lands in the center of the stadium. Y/N sees it coming and pushes Ray out of the way and protects her with his body.

Ray: What was that?

A loud voice is heard.

???: I object to this duel!

The dust clears and the two see a boy who looked Yuya named Zarc riding on top of Odd Eyes with Starving Venom, Dark Rebellion, and Clear Wing close behind him. Y/N and Ray stand up to face Zarc.

Y/N: Zarc, what are you doing?

Zarc: I think that I deserve the chance to duel the King of Games.

Y/N: You lost that chance when Ray defeated you. Just let it go. Do you really think that doing this will convince anyone?

Zarc: If I threaten enough.

Y/N: I won't let that happen. I'll stop you!

Ray: We'll stop you!

Zarc: Ray, my love, you'll also go against me? I was hoping you would join me and be my queen when I rule this world!

Ray: Zarc, stop this. This isn't you!

Zarc: It is me, darling. I've decided to join some people who will help me rule this world. Heard of the Knights of Hanoi?

Y/N: You can't trust them, Zarc. They'll backstab you in the end, Zarc. Just leave them.

Zarc: They wouldn't dare defy me. I'd defeat them all. Now, Ray, I'm giving you one last chance. Join me, my love, or die with everyone else.

Ray: This isn't the boy I love. I won't join you.

Zarc: You'll join me either willingly or forced. But right now you're in the way.

Odd Eyes swipes and hits Ray with its tail. Ray falls hard. Y/N runs over to her.

Ray: (Weak) Zarc...why?

Y/N: Stay with me, Ray.

Ray: If only things had been different...

Ray closes her eyes.

Y/N: No, Ray, keep your eyes open. Ray. Ray!

Ray doesn't respond. Y/N's aura rises to unbelievable heights as Zarc laughs evilly.

Zarc: That's the way to break up with someone.

Y/N: She loved you!

Zarc: Well I didn't. I just used her to reach the heights that I have. Now I have no need for here. She's just a pathetic duelist like the rest of this world.

Y/N: I won't let you talk like that about Ray!

Zarc: Haha. What are you going to do about it?

Y/N walks over to face Zarc and activates his duel disk.

Y/N: We'll settle this like we always do. I'll defeat you and then you're going away forever.

Zarc: When I win, I'll take Ray and turn her into my puppet queen!

Y/N: DON'T...YOU...DARE!

Zarc: I've waited this for a long time, Y/N. I was famous for a minute. Then you had to reveal yourself and then claim to have made a new summoning technique.

Y/N: Is this what this is all about? Jealousy?

Zarc: It's all about power! You should know what I mean. You've done your best to become the most powerful duelist in the world. Don't pretend you're not like me!

Y/N: I'm nothing like you, Zarc.

Zarc: We can agree to disagree. Let's do this! The sooner I crush you the sooner I can turn Ray into my puppet.

Y/N: You leave her out of this!

Zarc: Why does she matter so much to you?

Y/N: I LOVE HER!

Zarc: Figures. Any emotion besides anger makes you weak.

Y/N: I'll prove you wrong.

Y/N and Zarc activate their duel disks.

Y/N/Zarc: Let's duel!

Y/N: I activate the Master Rule 5! This duel will unlike you've ever seen before!

Turn 1- Zarc

Y/N- 4000 LP/ Zarc- 4000 LP

Zarc: I'll start. My turn.

Zarc struggles to set the Pendulum Scale.

Y/N: Having trouble, Zarc?

Zarc: What have you done?

Y/N: The field has changed a little bit. We have a sixth zone that's not part of the field known as the Extra Monster Zone. The pendulum zones are now spell zones one and five. You'll just have to learn on the run I guess.

Zarc: This new rules won't stop me. My turn. I use Scale 0 Supreme King Gate Zero and Scale 13 Supreme King Gate Infinity to set the Pendulum Scale! I now can summon monsters from levels 1 through 12 all at the same time! I Pendulum Summon! A pair of monsters worthy of the Supreme Ruler! Two Supreme King Dragon Darkwurms!

Y/N: You've never seen this deck before, Zarc.

Zarc: Doesn't matter. That won't help you.

Y/N: We'll see about that. Magic card: Twin Twisters, activate. I discard a card from my hand and then I destroy up to two spell or trap cards. I destroy both of your pendulum cards.

Zarc: Thanks for that. Since you destroyed card that I control, I can special summon Astrograph Sorcerer from my hand! My most skillful servant. A sorcerer that has unlocked all the secrets of space and time! Now you'll use that knowledge in order to carry out my bidding! Astrograph Sorcerer, appear!

Astrograph Sorcerer: Level 7: Scale 1: 2500 ATK/ 2000 DEF

Y/N: Dotscaper's effect, activate. Since it was sent to the graveyard, I can special summon it from my graveyard.

Dotscaper: Level 1- 0 ATK/ 2100 DEF

Y/N: Now to show you something new. Appear, the circuit that leads to the future!

The circuit appears shocking Zarc.

Zarc: What is that?

Y/N: The summoning conditions are two Cyberse Monsters. I set Linkslayer and Dotscaper in the link arrows. Link the circuit! I link summon! Appear, Link 2 Clock Spartoi!

Clock Spartoi: 800 ATK/ Link-2

Zarc: That fancy show all for nothing? That monster is useless.

Y/N: Battle. ???, attack Astrograph Sorcerer! ???'s effect, activate. Once per turn, I can send one monster you control back to your hand! I choose Astrograph Sorcerer! Driveback Shot!

Zarc: Urk.

Y/N: Then my monster can make a second attack in a row! ???, attack one of his Supreme King Dragon Darkwurms! Quantum Encryption!

Supreme King Z-ARC: Level 12: Scale: 1- 4000 ATK/ 4000 DEF

Zarc: Supreme King Z-ARC's special ability activates. When it's summoned, I can destroy all monsters you control and then you take LP damage equal to their ATK!

Y/N: Trap card, open: Damage Diet! I can half all the damage I take this turn! Cyberse Synchron's effect, activate. If a monster in my Extra Monster zone would be destroyed by battle or card effect, I can banish this monster instead. ??? isn't going anywhere!

Zarc: True but my monster can still attack! Supreme King Z-ARC, attack and destroy ???!

Y/N: Trap card, open: Half Unbreak. My monster can't be destroyed in battle this turn and then all the damage I would take is halved. Since Damage Diet is in effect, I take even less damage.

Y/N: 4000 LP - - -> 3625 LP

Zarc: You got lucky but I'll end you my next turn! I end my turn.

Transcode Talker: 2300 ATK/ Link-3

Zarc: What good did that do? Your monster is still weaker than mine.

Y/N: Cyberse White Hat's effect, activate. If it's used for a link summon, all monsters you control lose 1000 LP until the end of this turn.

Zarc: Not happening because I can't be destroyed in battle and no card effects work on me.

Y/N: I summon Balancer Lord in ATK Mode.

Balancer Lord: Level 4- 1700 ATK/ 1200 DEF

Y/N: Balancer Lord's effect, activate. I pay 1000 LP in order to normal summon again. I summon Launcher Commander in ATK Mode.

Rank 4! ???!

???: Rank 4- 2500 ATK/ 2000 DEF

Appear! Link 5! ???!

???: 3000 ATK/ Link-5

Zarc: Stop wasting my time! Just admit that you can't beat me.

Y/N: Sorry but this duel is over! ???'s effect, activate. When it's summoned, it gets a counter for each type of Cyberse Monster in my Graveyard. I have fusion, synchro, and XYZ. So ??? gets three counters.

Zarc: What good will that do?

Y/N: Battle.

Zarc: You'll attack me with a weaker monster? By all means, go ahead and do so!

Y/N: ???'s effect activates. It gains 2500 ATK for each counter it has during the Battle Phase.

Zarc: What?

Y/N: This monster has three so it gains 7500 ATK

???: 3000 ATK - - -> 10500 ATK

Y/N: It's over, Zarc!

Zarc: Please! Call that dragon off! You can rule the world! You can have Ray! Just don't attack!

Y/N: You called me power hungry, Zarc? Haha! Let me show you just how power hungry I can be! That's why I've collected all of the cards I could. No one would stand in my way! You took something important to me! Now I'll take your life away! Say goodbye, Zarc!

???: Y/N!

Y/N looks and sees Ray standing on her feet.

Ray: Don't do this! If you attack, many people will die! There is another way to do this!

Y/N: Ray, you can't use those cards! They're dangerous! The world will split into four!

Ray: That's just the risk we'll have to take!

Ray activates her duel disk and activates the four cards which would split the world into four. The cards activate. Ray then gets four bracelets on her wrist.

Y/N: Very well. I shall help!

Y/N summons his four Cyberse Dragons to help Ray in her plan.

Zarc: No! What are you doing? Stop it!

Ray runs over to Y/N with a sad smile on her face.

Ray: This is it.

Y/N: It is.

Ray: The world will split into four. We won't exist. I hope our counterparts meet each other someday.

Y/N: I'm sure they will.

Y/N looks at Ray.

Y/N: I never got to tell you. I'm so shy.

Ray: You? Shy?

Y/N: Ray, I love you. I always will.

Ray: I've always loved you too.

Y/N and Ray share a kiss and then pull away.

Y/N: I've waited all my life to do that.

Then it happened...the world split into four dimensions. Y/N, Ray, and Zarc were split into four. The only hope would be that the counterparts would meet again and change history.
