Distant Worlds: Shards of Harmony (uncut and extended.)

“Before we start answer me this, why are you here in my world?” Solaire asked Misael. As the sphere surrounded them both Misael remained silent for a moment, debating Solaire's question.

“In our world we succeeded in destroying the Astral World, however piece by piece we were deceived and hunted down by our former master, Don Thousand who at the time was using Vector as host.” Misael explained, “He created these machines that would increase the level of malice in our world so it could be used as a weapon, fortunately our leader Nasch used the power of the Numeron Code to transport us to this world before he disappeared once more.”

“That can't be right?” Solaire mused, “They never succeeded in destroying the Astral world if the anime was anything to go by...”

“And the Crystal pillars?” Solaire asked, “What do they have to do with all this?”

“I'm afraid I have no clue why you would assume they had anything to do with us, though that foolish remnant Black Mist may be using them.” Solaire looked at the unconscious bodies of Jay and Fenix.

“Are you the one that did this to them?” Solaire asked, pointing to the bodies of his friends behind him. Misael remained silent. “Then we have a problem then...I'll make this quick!”

“By all means, your welcome to try!” Misael retorted.

“DUEL!!”

Solaire (4000LP) versus Misael (4000LP)

Solaire turn...

“I draw. First I play the field spell Secret Village of the Spellcasters, neither of us can play a spell card unless we control a spellcaster type monster.” Solaire explained as the environment changed to match image on the card, Misael frowned knowing exactly what that meant. “Next I play Rapid Fire Magician (lv4/1600ATK) and activate Magical Blast which inflicts 200 LP damage for every spellcaster I control, on top that Rapid Fire Magicians effect activates adding an additional 400 LP damage.” Two bursts of energy shot towards Misael, swirling together as the effects merged and struck, Misael braced the impact and was knocked back a few feet by the force of the impact.

Misael 4000LP → 3400 LP

Misael let out a short string of curses under his breath, “Finally I set two cards face down and call it a turn.” Solaire said simply.

Misael turn...

“I commend your efforts to stop me using Barian's Force, wasted as they are. Draw!” Misael stared at Solaire, but got no reaction out of him out of his comment. “I summon Lord of Dragons! (Lv4/1200 ATK), as it is a spellcaster I can play Flute of Summoning Dragon! Whilst Lord of Dragons is on the field I can activate this card to summon two dragon type monsters from my hand.”

His monster took a hold of the horn and blew into it, letting out deafening sound, “With this effect I summon Parsec, the Interstellar Dragon and Radius, the Half Moon Dragon!” Misael declared confidently, “Chain!! I activate my quick play spell Magical Dimension! This card lets me tribute a spellcaster I control and special summon another in it's place, as well as destroy one monster my opponent controls! I release Rapid Fire Magician and summon Gagaga Magician! (Lv4/1500 ATK)” Solaire interrupted, “As I chained this card to the activation of Flute of Summoning Dragon, my spell resolves first! I target Lord of Dragons!”

As Lord of Dragons blew it's horn it was destroyed by a loud magical explosion created by the shock wave of the spell that summoned Solaire's Gagaga Magician.

“Since Lord of Dragons no longer is on the field your spell is rendered useless by my field spell!” Solaire explained, Misael cursed again frustrated by the events occurring, “I will put this simply, Misael! I know who you are, I know what you capable of and I know how to stop it!”

“Tch! I set two cards and end my turn.” Misael stated annoyed.

Solaire turn...

Misael let out a small growl at Solaire, “How can he know of me? It's impossible!” he thought to himself, “HOW!!” Misael roared in frustration,

“In this world...you're nothing more than a work fiction.” Solaire responded coldly, “You may or may not be the one who did this to my friends, but the fact you even dared to harm them is something you will soon regret!”

“Draw!!” Solaire roared, “I summon Gagaga Girl!! (Lv3/1000 ATK)” A blonde petite girl appeared next to Solaire's Gagaga Magician, “Next I activate Gagaga Magicians and Gagaga Girls effects! By declaring any level between 1 and 8 my magician becomes that level and his partner copies his level with her effect, I declare level 6! By releasing two level 6 or higher spellcasters I can summon my ace card!” Both magicians vanished in a black light becoming pitch black flames the fell to the ground and began engraving a circle of runes on the concrete floor.

“Knowledge that surpasses the blackest arts, invoke spells long since forgotten by time! Advance summon! Sorcerer of Dark Magic! (lv9/3200 ATK)” Solaire's Magician rose through the spell runes on the ground, and stared down Misael with a cold hard gaze.

“As of now anything you do is meaningless, my sorcerer's effect allows me to negate and destroy any trap card you play at my own pleasure.” Misael stepped back in fear as the magician staring him down. “I'm not done! I activate my continuous trap Call of the Haunted! This card lets me revive one monster in attack position, return Gagaga Magician! I'll follow this with Monster Reborn! Return Gagaga Girl!” Both magicians returned in a blaze of light emerging from the ground, “Now I use my magicians effects one again! Level 8!” Solaire roared, “This next part should be familiar to you! This is what you face when you go up against a duellist of this world! I use both my Level 8 Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Girl to create an overlay nexus!”

Both magician transformed into two dark orbs of energy that converged on the opening nexus, exploding in a flash of light.

"Roar throughout the entire universe. Revive, from the source of all galaxies, that flows from far back in time!! Manifest yourself, and lead me to victory! Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon! (Rank 8/3000 ATK)" A black pillar like object emerged from the nexus and began unfolding and unsealing taking on it's true shape.

“N-no...no!...NO! HOW? I'm the only true master of Tachyon Dragon!” Misael cried in confusion and fear, as he watched helplessly as his own monster took on it's shape. With an almighty roar that shook the very ground, the machine like dragon snarled as it stared down Misael with utter contempt.

“I-I activate my trap cards...” He panicked,

“Sorcerer of Dark Magic, negate and destroy them both!!” Solaire ordered, the sorcerer made a motion with his hand causing both Misael's traps to shatter into pieces. “Sorcerer of Dark Magic! Direct Attack!” Solaire ordered, his magician spun his staff and struck the ground launching Misael into the air helplessly.

Misael 3400 LP → 200 LP

Everything seemed to go in slow motion for Misael as he heard one last cry from Solaire. “FINAL ATTACK!! GALAXY-EYES TACHYON DRAGON! END THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!!”

With another ground shaking roar, it launched itself at Misael. Charging it's breath attack as it sped towards him and firing a point blank blast engulfing Misael in super heated purple flames.

“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!” Misael screamed in unbearable agony, before falling and crashing into the floor.

Misael 200 LP → 0 LP

“T-tch, as you won I'll release...y-you friends as promised...urgh...” Misael fell unconscious and faded away, leaving Solaire alone with Jay and Fenix...

“I'm glad you guy's are alright.” Solaire spoke as he gave out a sigh of relief. A pillar of flames exploded in the distance illuminating the sky, Solaire he could of sworn he heard the scream of something inhuman as it burnt into nothingness.

With Luna...

“Thou art not leaving our presence unscathed!!” Luna roared with rage,  “Prepare thyself for nightmares eternal!” With a black-blue aura Luna picked up her past attacker and with a click of her fingers snapped his arm and duel disk into pieces, causing him to scream in unspeakable pain.

“Now let us see...” Luna gave the thug a thoughtful look, “We do believe we owe thou this!”  Another moment later a couple of snaps could be heard from the thugs ribcage, which was soon followed by his other limbs snapping. Amongst the screams he began coughing up blood. “We do believe we owe thou this as well!” Luna made another gesture with her hands, sending the thug flying into the direction of one of the trees. Landing with an audible snap, the thug laid beaten and broken as he whimpered and sobbed like a child.

“W-why?” He choked out through his pain and misery,

“Does thou not remember us? Or what thou did to us?” Luna said with a tone as cold as winters night. “How about everything you did to our student, and how thou ruined her life!” A look of realisation came upon him.

“P-please d-don't k-kill me!” he begged pathetically.

“Kill thou?” Luna chuckled darkly, “We aren't feeling that merciful. What we intend to do is make thou suffer horrors beyond imagining for the rest of thy insignificant and pathetic life!”

The thug was screaming louder than ever...until there was nothing but silence, with a dull thud the unconscious body fell on the ground...

“Sweet dreams...” Luna chuckled to herself, turning towards the two figures in front of here she began casting a spell to rouse them from their state of sleep.

With Silent Passion and Macintosh...

We made our way through the empty buildings after I escaped from the scorched ruins of Sulgrave, running as fast as we can to find my friends. I was still angry from what Black Mist used Luna's illusion to make it seem I betrayed my friends. Soon enough we came across a pulsing red crystal.

“Is this responsible for the distortion?” I wondered aloud, if it was then it had to be destroyed.

“I fear that you may be correct.” A voice said in a polite tone, foot steps echoed from the passage I came down. Soon enough a grey human like figure entered the room, “I'm sorry to startle you, miss.” He said, “But I take it you found what was causing the Barian world to force it's way into yours. I have no doubt this was somehow's Vectors doing.” He stated simply,

“From what I understand your Durbe, right?” I asked, Durbe nodded in confirmation. “Are you involved in this?” Durbe shook his head,

“No, Vector has took it upon himself to do this, I sent Misael to keep an eye on him as Vector...” He drifted off, “Has a habit of manipulating others.” I finished and again Durbe nodded. “On behalf of my associates I apologise, I have just heard from Misael what Vector and Black Mist did to your friends.” Durbe bowed,

“What about this crystal?” I asked pointing behind me. Durbe frowned, “What you do to it doesn't concern me, but if you destroy it it will return the infected parts of the world to normal but I doubt you could destroy it on your own.” Durbe was about to leave but stopped, “I must ask, have you seen a person named Nasch around here?” I shook my head,

“No sorry I haven't...I hope you find him soon.” I said simply, and with that Durbe left.

“Shame about the company he keeps, Durbe strikes me as a decent guy.” I said to Macintosh, turning back to the crystal, “How am I going to deal with this?” I began making gestures...

“An unyielding passion blazes forward, emerge from the flames and be reborn! My very soul! Phoenix Gearfried!” I chanted and extended my hand forward. A small flame shot out of my hand and fell towards the ground, in a pillar of intense flames, emerged a knight covered in red, white and gold armour with flames emitting from his sword and pauldrons. With another gesture my own sword appeared in my hand. I noted it's appearance as a silver and blue estoc, “Great Magic Weapon!” I cried and my sword began emitting a strong blue flame like aura.

“Gearfried, attack and destroy the crystal!” I ordered and we both launched ourselves at it, striking simultaneously an creating a shock wave of magic and flames, knocking us both back with sheer force of the blow.

“Fuck!” I cursed, even with Gearfried we're not strong enough to break the damn thing.

“Need a hand, Passion?” Solaire asked as he entered with Jay and Fenix in tow,

“Solaire? Jay, and...Fenix! Oh thank god your all alright.” I cried in relief, Jason sent Solaire a confused look. “Solaire can you explain how does she know us?” I almost forgot about that detail,

“How come you weren't attacked by Silent?” Fenix asked us both. I remained silent for a moment,

“The Silent that attacked you was an imposter...” I explained solemnly, “I destroyed him personally.” Jay looked shocked,

“Then Silent is still missing, I thought you told us you found him Sol.” Solaire shook his head,

“She's right there.”

“...” I said nothing to correct Solaire, “Look I'll explain later we need to destroy this crystal.” I stated simply. Solaire nodded, “C'mon.” Drawing his sword, it began emitting lightning,

“Sunlight Blade!” He cried. I raised a brow and chuckled,

“Dark Moon Blade!” I cried and my own sword began emitting a strong blue flame like aura.

“Are you going to help?” Solaire asked Jason and Anth.

“Show your supremacy, Master of Dragons Knight! Become fire incarnate, Sacred Phoenix of Nemphys!” They both cried as they summoned their own monsters to attack the crystal. In blaze of fury the crystal began showing the strains of our attack, cracking after we launched blow after blow.

“Dammit it's still not enough...” Solaire cursed.

“Daedalus! Black Rose Dragon! Attack the crystal!” A flower like dragon and leviathan joined in the assault, cracking the crystal further until it shattered into dust, exploding as it did so knocking us  all back.

“Great Magic Shield!” I roared erecting a large magical barrier to protect us from the blast. The room around us began twist and turn, changing and distorting as it returned to its original form. I fell to my knees exhausted from the strain of erecting a barrier that large.

“Silent Passion are you okay?” I looked at the source of the voice, finding Luna, Jinx and Levia with her.

“Oh thank goodness.” I sighed in relief, “Solaire help me up please.” Solaire lifted me up and helped me walk.

“Silent what happened to you?” Jay asked causing Jinx and Levia to look in my direction.

“It's a long story, I think its better to explain when we get home. Luna could you come up with something please, I'm too exhausted to use any magic.” Luna nodded smiling and began making gestures, slamming her hand to the ground a spell circle shot out and surrounded the group and with a snap of her fingers we found ourselves back at the apartment.

“H-hey give us warning next time you all appear like that!” Frostlit Shard scolded playfully, Macintosh took a look at me,

“Ah'll take care of Passion from here.” Solaire handed me over to Macintosh who picked me up bridal style, I blushed slightly of embarrassment.

“Okay can someone explain what's going on here?” Fenix asked, Solaire led them to the living room and explained to them what was going on. Macintosh on the other hand took me to our room,

“Are y'all okay?” Macintosh worried, I nodded.

“I'm just tired, I overdid a spell back there.” I replied before giving him a kiss upon his cheek, “My friends and family are safe, I think being a bit exhausted is worth the price of seeing them safe.”
