“Shockwave, spit it out, you’re a gay disaster,” Swindle only said, sideyeing the other.
“I cannot spit, Swindle. I lack a mouth.”
“Metaphor, Shockers.”
“I’m not a disaster at the very least.”
“Oh? Oh? So just because Blackarachnia made our very own new triple changer completely insane means all your failures are valid?”
“Shut up.”
“Look, even Blurr figured it out before you were close. At this rate you’re just denying yourself!”
“Don’t drag Blurr into this,” Shockwave’s pupil shrunk, the mech becoming mad at the situation.
“Well you see to drag him into things,” the arms dealer chimed.
The sigh from Shockwave could probably be heard on Cybertron, as he was completely done with the friend he didn’t even really ask for.
"...Same as usual. I miss them, but I'm stuck, because of you."
"Not directly me, of course."
"...I don't blame you, but I blame him," Blue Angel sighed, look down at the floor.
"Look, I'd blame Specter for my existence if I could," Revolver laughed, before realizing it wasn't helping the mood. "Uh, if it's okay with you, I could ask about how long the card should affect you. When we tested them before, the results weren't. Anywhere close to yourself."
She looked away from him. He could tell she was in a really bad state.
"Blu-Aoi. It'll be fine. I'll. I'll get you out of it, you have things to look towards in the future."
"You're saying this like you're on the verge of death."
"To be honest, I probably am," Revolver spoke. He was honestly terrified of the rest of the Knights, and what could end up happening if anyone else found out. The nudging of what could only be Reloader Dragon manifesting itself against it's owner's commands nearly threw off Revolver's already poor balance.
She may have been in a coma, but he was perfectly fine in reality....if he actually bothered to care about himself. But he didn't matter. His goals mattered more, and so did his dragons. He didn't even care about this point if he lived or died, he was broken anyways. More so than her.
"Anyways. Would you like to duel? That could take your mind off other thi-"
"No."
Revolver shrugged it off, and looked away. It didn't really matter to him if she didn't want to, because he hated dueling anyways. He'd always hurt others, be it on purpose or accident. Causing any more damage to Blue Angel would affect Aoi Zaizen. And Revolver didn't want that.
"So, uh, apparently a lot of people who were "shipping" you with Playmaker now hate him or you, depending on their weird fandom for literal humans. You fucked up, but that was our fault, and I'd honestly make a new account if I were you when you come back just so you won't be a-"
"If you come back."
"No, I promise! I. I'm trying my hardest to end this so SOL Tech doesn't hunt us down, nor Playmaker."
"....I can give you three reasons you're making excuses to try to make me feel better. One, SOL Technology already wants you and Playmaker. Two, he's your enemy. If anything, you should want him gone and then go after Ignis. Three, you don't even know why I was affected so much."
Revolver stepped backwards, and tried to ignore how much he got roasted. "...I have to go," he said, logging off. The best way to not be rude is to ignore your problems, correct?
It was a pretty typical day for Fujiki Yuusaku. Sleep through school because education was a myth, vanish out of class to fight a cyberterrorist organization, and chill at your best friend’s hot dog truck because you didn’t have anything better to do.
“Hey, Fujiki! Check it out! They’re trying to bring back Cyberse cards to the public!” Naoki had a tendency of following Yuusaku around. Learning that your classmate WAS your dueling idol would have that effect on anyone.
“You can just call me Yuusaku, you know that, right? Anyways, can’t wait to see him throw a fit over multiple Topologic Bomber Dragons being played by idiots who can’t even understand how to Link Summon.”
“…You have. A really negative outlook on everything, don’t you?”
“It’s more realistic. I’m ninety-nine percent sure that I could accidentally mess up the front of this truck and Kusanagi-kun would commit murder.”
“I wouldn’t say that’s realisti-“
“….Have you ever seen him at full anger? Because even I haven’t. In my opinion, that’s a terrifying concept. The unknown, it’s something most humans fear. Yet, it’s also so interesting to some. And that’s why some of us pursue the future, while others linger in the past and present. Playmaker’s an example of the latt-“
“Shut up, Rev. Your philosophical comments are just going to go over Naoki completely.”
“…Went over my metaphorical head,” Ignis rolled his single eyeball from inside Yuusaku’s duel disk.
“Big mood?” Naoki only commented.
“Yeah. Same. Completely the same. Simple words describing really vague moods. How do you expect others to understand? Well. You don’t, because every culture has a different outlook on wor-“
“Rev.”
“Okay, okay. I fucking get it. You don’t want to hear my voice anymore.”
“You’re a self-centered social idiot, you know that, don’t you?”
“….You…shot me down,” Rev winked and did a finger gun motion while making a clicking sound with his tongue. How the hell was this man the former leader of the Knights of Hanoi was still an unanswered question to at least four different people.
“Anyways, I uh, should probably go. Personal reasons! See you, Fuj-Yuusaku. Hah,” Naoki commented before trying to calmly leave. It was a bad exit in Yuusaku’s mind, but it’s not like he could have done any better.
“So, why the hell are you here? Don’t you have better things to do?” Yuusaku turned to the other, who was seemingly distracted on something.
“You seen Shoichi?”
“….No?”
“Yeah, I’m kinda. Runnin’ the place for him right now, but it’s not going very well. I’m shit at cooking. Well, to be fair, you’d probably call me shit at everything, but you plationically hate me.”
“…I’ve never heard that term. And I mean, you have some things going for you. One, you’re suprisingly smart and useful if you want to be. Two, you’re one of the few people able to give me a challenge in a duel without overworking yourself. Three, you are inhumanly good at the kazoo.”
“One of those things is not like the others~” Ignis only responded, seemingly enjoying the new conversation.
“Hey, you think Shoichi’s in LINK VRAINS?”
“…What?”
“I repeat. Do you think. Shoichi is in the VRAINS. Because like. Why else would he not be here yet have his truck outside of wherever the hell he lives.”
“You’re siblings….?”
“He doesn’t act like we are anymore. Don’t know if you’ve ever seen his back, but uh, I left a pretty nasty scar way back when we were kids and I think it fucked him up a ton.”
“…..”
“Fair point! Hey. Yuusaku. You should go look for Kusanagi. That’d be fun. Maybe we could like, do some dumb OTK with Firewall,” Ignis interrupted the silence. “I mean, it’s getting boring around here.”
Yuusaku, numb to all emotions, instead decided to look into their secret VRAINS room in the truck. Nope, Shoichi wasn’t in LINK VRAINS, or else he’d be in here.
“Damn. Seems like Kusanagi left us for someone better. Maybe ya’ll should go on a fucking search for him before he dies,” Ignis always knew exactly not what to comment. But he did it anyways.
“Oh, seems I have to do more important things. Catch you later, Playmaker,” Rev smirked as he exited the truck himself, finger gunning back.
“….Bye.”
“See you, shotgun!” Ignis responded, pridefully. Rev luckily ignored that, after all. Not much you can do to such a valuable AI.
I was thinking about this so how about for ‘For What We Believe In’ near the end Placido sacrifices his position and returns to Yliaster to protect Lucciano(who now has been given Wisel by the former and gained Granel from defeating José in a Riding Duel(because seriously, it’s card games on motorcycles show)) and he’s all like this more human character who just fucking tells Z-One that the way he’s going is Bullshit and that Yuusei will try to save the future if the Shrimp God JUST TALKS TO HIM. Of course Z-One is pleased how much his creations have evolved but is also really mad at him(probably summons a Timelord at this point?). And then Placido is tasked to duel Lucciano and is given real life Wisel(for those who lack knowledge, in real life the Meklords are one individual card and SKIEL IS LIKE $5 FOR THE HIGHEST RARITY ONE) and then he goes and challenges Lucciano. So here’s Lucciano dueling PLACYCLE thinking that Placido actually betrayed them, and then at the end he changes Wisel to ‘Winged Beast’ and tunes it with Arma Mystletainn equipped with Partisan(who makes an equipped monster a tuner) to summon Vajrayana. And at the very end he synchros for an alt form of Wisel and literally when Lucciano wins he straight up is like “I’m going to make Aporia with José and Z-One’s new Lucciano(because seriously Z-One is not leaving Ark Cradle and not going to send SHERRY(the only one left at this point) to duel our Lucciano at this point)
this will never be finished but i felt like posting it
-type: null could be a really powerful card the aether foundation was developing until gladion stole it?? maybe it’s based off of like the crimson dragon or winged dragon of ra or some god and shit in the ygo verse
-nanu is actually from synchro but the whole cop deal involved with him somehow going to xyz??
-other characters from past pokemon games exist to fill more character slots probably
-gladion probably at some point was stuck in synchro where in that case he’d pick up the deck i mentioned earlier??
-maybe if lillie was forced into a situation she’d duel?? i’d assume she may at least carry some cards. maybe she’d play extra-deckless tellarknights, the archetype w/o infinity is more of a clear up the field and go for small chunks of damage most of the time
-gladion could originally have had cyber dragons?? or maybe just cybers?? idk
-instead of getting the fucking grunt theme, faba instead has literally a base duel disk. it can’t even card people. even wicke can card people and she honestly wouldn’t
-the ultra beasts could be from the original dimension or something?? maybe powerful cards. hell, maybe they were stopped by the dimensional dragons or something?? i see necrozma as a ritual if it’s there. for synchro i see nihilego/pheromosa/kartana, for xyz i see buzzwole/xurkitree and for fusion i see celesteela/guzzlord

urge to write...placido redemption arc ft barely any placido and shitposting
wow geez if i was doing any other thing i’d be productive
“You’re kidding me, Yuusei. You’re trusting one those Yliaster guys?”
“Jack, what the hell would you do? Kill them?”
“...Fair enough point.”
“Jack I don’t think anything about you is fair personally but that’s just me and we’re all special, some of us are just larger assholes than othe-”
“Crow I will physically make you stop if you try any-”
“Jack. Aren’t you OOC?”
“what the fuck izayoi”
“out of character”
“fuck you i’m always in-character”
“the king has died,” crow said motivationally, as he somehow had a foot on jack’s back, which caused said king to collapse and hurt the small child next to him. rua watched in horror as jack’s life flashed in front of him(and maybe rua’s safety too?) as crow accidentally pulled jack away and flung him elsewhere, which hurt him.
“shit bruno can you duel for the wrpg” yuusei stated, ignoring aki just like yoshida.
“Yuusei are you yoshida”
“we’re all yoshida now” ruka whispered, with the sounds of aki groaning. placido sat there, watching all the shit unfold. man lucciano and jose would get a kick out of this, wisel too. too bad he was half broken. although he could imagine z-one’s expression quite well
“I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL FUSE WITH BLACK FEATHER IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN” Crow yelled
“that could mean many things” rua stated
“yugou jaane yuugo da” said the banana-haired d-wheeler, somehow now in 5d’s
“yuugo what the fuck” yuusei stated, in fear
“z-one and z-arc are potentially related according to this tests on myself”
“but are you fully z-arc”
“no”
“then how can y-”
“logic, bruno, simple simple logic.”
“you guys are even worse than i thought,” placido laughed, glad he actually got a comma to make the sentence look slightly more correct.
“satisfy me” z-arc said, slamming the door.
“kiryu??” jack and yuusei both said. crow had left to find a way to potentially kill himself. he was done with all this shit
“no it is i, z-arc, the one who kills all”
“he’s the guy who started a genocide” ruka pointed out
“i thought that was the machine emperors” rua stated
“no that’s something different” his sister responded
then the door slammed shut and opened again
it was the crimson dragon!!
“what the fuck how can u fit through a door” jack said. the crimson dragon then literally got hit super hard by two crystal wings.
“z-arc do u know anyone else w/ clear wing”
“sadly not @ myself. maybe if we believe hard enough we can summon 3.”
“or quasar w/o a dedicated extra deck”
“exactly”
Aki literally was dealing with shitposting hell. she wanted to use black rose to clear the field, but crystal wing and stardust could both negate
“WHY THE FUCK R U WITH THEM” Lucciano screamed, him, Jose, and a very dead-ish paradox entering
“i’m crying z-arc is killing the crimson dragon it can’t fuck up z-one’s plan”
“isn’t z-one’s plan also morally wrong” stated jack
“Nothing is wrong. Besides all of you,” Aki growled.
“fuck u aki”
“I thought we had something...Sherr...wait SHERRY WTF”
“hi yes i’m also here w/ the dark signers”
“hello where is my development” demak said
“nowhere to be found just like a good earthbound deck” bommer replied
“why” rudger and rex stated in unison
“i cant believe they r bigger twins than rua and ruka!!” misty exclaimed
“I actually cannot believe that this place is more of a mess than myself. I cannot think of anyway this can get worse” Carly stated
it could get worse
just then, SERGEY BUSTED IN
“what the mchell”
“it’s the guy with the support for us that sucks shit” demak said
aporia followed, done w/ everything. antinomy was behind him.
“why am i talking to myself”
“did you know that i learnt my real name wasn’t johnny, but antimony?”
“i want to die already” crow stated from the distance.
“roget is dead” sergey said,, in tears
ccarayhua and ccapac apu and cusillu, the triple cs, were trying to fite the new earthbounds and were somehow dying. chacu didn’t try because he was slightly smarter than the other cs.
z-one was in the corner, watching in terror. he was afraid
yeager was also there but he didn’t speak because he had died when the crimson dragon flung into him. mikage and ushio had killed stephanie while ancient fairy dragon was afraid
rin had left early for hell it wasn’t her time
she was smart
“it is me, king of games, yami yuugi” atem stated, appearing from the void known as character development
yuusei proceeded to summon quasar to kill him, but accidentally killed everyone else there. in the end, yuusei was dead, the ones left standing were z-arc, sergey, yuugo, jack, crow, aki, carly, jose, z-one who now probs had ptsd, bruno, and rin.

hanzo officially teams up with junkrat and roadhog
widowmaker talks to reaper because edge lord needs shit to do

lucio comes, roadhog is thankful, hanzo is glad he’s here
wELL lucio tries talking sense into symmetra but surprise! widowmaker and reaper attack and hanzo ryuugawagatekiokurau’s them but widowmaker ends up shooting off hanzo’s left arm...or shit
hanzo is suffering and symmetra realizes that shit those were the bad guys
lucio convinces symmetra to follow their own path, they leave, well shit now we have a handicapped hanzo, an exhausted junkrat and roadhog is now the manager(tm)

hanzo ends up pretty similar to genji(tm) only to find out that his ult actually fucked up shit
hanzo joins overwatch...so does junkrat and roadhog?
genji returns, reunion and fluff but wait there’s still bastion
“Goodbye, Lucciano-kun!” Ruka had shouted as her new friend walked off towards whever he lived.
“That dude’s a fraud, Ruka. Wouldn’t half trust him. He doesn’t even have a deck focused on something, like honestly. How hard is it to build an Archetype? I mean, can’t you like even just focus on Fusion Summoning or something?” Rua commented, adding in his own unneeded commentary. Ruka stared at her brother with spite, as she’d honestly been sick of how he acted around new students. Now she’d admit it, Sly was supicious, but Lucciano seemed like a pretty nice guy.
Even if he somehow won tournaments with a really shitty deck.
“Ugh. That wasn’t what I thought Middle School would be like,” Lucciano stated, now alone. He reverted back to orginal form, and blinked trying to get use to the eyepatch again.
“Yeah, says the person who had the apocalypse happen when they were 12,” the duel spirit of a Machine Emperor, Skiel to be specific, responded.
“Shut up Skiel. You’re basically saying that you know more than me despite being born then.”
“I was wave one to be honest, but yeah, our kind somehow managed to wipe about 80% of humanity in a good 2 months,” Skiel corrected, apparently revealing his inner-nerd.
“So um, how strange would it be if a student disappeared on day 2?” Lucciano changed the conversation from the very senstive topic.
“Ooooo, um, faking death would be a thing? But um, that’s something more likely for Placido to do,” Skiel was clueless about most things relating to things other than well, living hell.
“How many prototypes did it take Z-One to get that goddamn ass right? Like, at least 17 we saw? How hard is it to program fucking Placido?” the android stated, really confused. The bird didn’t really give much of a response other than a look of, ‘if I could be expressive I’d be giving, well shit happens’ face.
“Albeit, I kinda enjoyed that. The Signer and her sibling aren’t as boring to mess with as I thought they’d be. I have plans.”
“What the hell, Lucciano? You’re planning on keeping this up for at least two more weeks?” José snapped. The eldest and most inhuman of the trio was giving Lucciano a reply similar to one that Placido would normally give.
“Well, to be honest, Lucciano has nothing better to do. Any duel has the potential to greatly increase the circuit, and the sooner we crash Ark Cradle, the sooner we don’t have to potentially deal with Antinomy. Plus, like, do all 3 of us need to sit here all day just watching these people? I mean, yeah, Granel will arrive in a while, but why can’t we go fight? We already have our Machine Emperors.”
Lucciano didn’t know if he should be shocked or in awe of Placido standing up for him. José took what felt like forever, although it was probably about a minute, before speaking again.
“Speak to Z-One. He’s going to be the deciding factor,” José said, not very amused. Before Placido could complain, Lucciano was already gone.
“He’s really serious about doing this, huh?” Placido stated.
“A little bit too serious about this,” José responded.
“So, you’re asking to keep up this deal just so it seems like you’re actually human?” Shrimp God seemed pretty confused over this.
“More like there’s nothing better to do,” Lucciano muttered, hoping for a postive reponse.
“Sounds fantastic. Better than José constantly getting mad at you two. You need anything else?” Z-One asked his creation.
Lucciano was shocked that Z-One not only said yes, but was completely fine about it!
“An actual deck would be nice. Preferably one that’s similar to Skiel, but I’ll take whatever you have,” Lucciano spoke.
Placido was never one to look towards the future, but the reflection he saw was not one from the past.
AU: Placido never died
other: machine demon wisel is included
It was so strange for the android. For so long, he’d been no more than a machine. A tool for a higher being. And that creature was only a human, scarred from the past. They all were. And of them, he was the one given the second chance.
He was walking when he looked into a metallic surface of a building next to him. It was so strange to him. There stood a person with two eyes, much more typical clothing. No strange eyepatch, no data chips laying around, no armor. He’d changed. He’d moved on. Wisel was all that was left.
How had he even got here? Why had he taken the level of Synchros? Was it that the Dragunity deck spoke to him, or was he just crazy? Touching his hand onto the cold metal surface, he watched it repeat the actions. This was him. This was what he had become.
It wasn’t fun for him. He’d been found broken by Yuusei a couple months back, who had been nice enough to let him hang with him. “How ironic,” the gray-haired machine thought. “That’d he’d let me, someone who tried and nearly killed him, be able to have this much trust. Is the Signer a fool? Or is it something I don’t understand?”
This was what had him conflicted at antinomy. He still hated all that had happened, yet he had picked up the destroyers of him. Everyone was gone. Eurea had been killed by a Granel, just as his parents had. Antinomy and Paradox had died, eventually. Granel, Wisel and Skiel shut down eventually. And Z-One had sacrificed himself to save his idol. Truly, a heroic shrimp god. Lucciano and José were gone. The closest things he had to family. He was the one left. The one who held all of Yliaster’s fate in his hands, or so he thought.
That’s when he realized. He was the one left to carve his fate. The Emperor of Yliaster had his future to himself, however he wished to pave it. He gripped onto the card, ‘Machine Demon Wisel’. It was his friend, the one left for him, and it was a Synchro. A LIGHT Synchro. Maybe it was fate pushing him in the right direction.
He then pushed the cards onto the duel disk he had been borrowing from Yuusei. ‘Dragunity Darkspear’, ‘Machine Imperial Wisel En’, and ‘Machine Emperor Wisel’. “Shining darkness, hidden from the light. Come forth and pave the way towards the future! Synchro Shokan! Appear now, Machine Demon Wisel!” he spoke, as the upgraded version of the monster appeared. It was his choice. It was how he was to go. Placido was free, and he knew how this life would go.
He’d help protect the Momentum. He’d help protect the future. He’d still follow the goals of Yliaster, just in a different way than guided.
