Yu-Gi-Oh! Heroes

However, since this incident happened too long ago and was just a beautiful childhood dream, Yuki Judai only just remembered it after being reminded by others.

"[【_

Speaking of which, the cards at that time were...

"Well... although I didn't quite understand those complicated things, at that time, I was indeed full of beautiful expectations for the future, and I was extremely excited about the upcoming duel."

Sitting on the shuttle to the universe, Yuki Judai recalled the past and said to Yusei with emotion: "I never thought that the card I designed at that time would actually meet me in the future... Is this some kind of destiny? Hahahaha!"

"...After receiving the vibrations from the universe, a new card was born?"

As he savored the key words in the words, Youxing had a thoughtful expression on his face.

Now Yuki Judai is affected by the light of destruction. He can't see the information on the cards and can no longer duel. According to the message said by Amamiya Yui, if he wants to eliminate this abnormal state, he must let Yuki Judai bathe in the corresponding dark fluctuations.

The darkness that is the most gentle and most likely to resist this fluctuation of light naturally exists in the vast universe.

Those cards made according to Yucheng Judai's past creativity happened to be bathed in the dark fluctuations of the universe for many years. Therefore, as long as he finds these cards, Yucheng Judai can find his original intention with their help, walk out of the influence of the light of destruction, and become his original self again.

And their purpose of traveling across the universe is to find the traces of these cards for Yuki Judai.

"…We're here, near Jupiter."

Kaiba Keihei, who was acting as the driver, stopped the operation in his hands and reminded the two people sitting in the back seat: "...This is Io in the orbit of Jupiter. According to the guidance of the navigation, your deck fell somewhere on this planet. Hmm...It seems that the environment here is similar to that of the earth, and no protective measures are needed...Then, I will wait for your news here. Go and come back quickly! Yusei, and Judai!"

Giving the two of them a thumbs-up, Kaiba Keipi immediately pressed the button on the control panel and opened the sealed hatch.

"Oh? Is this the place?"

Without wearing any protective equipment, the two people saw the hatch open and just followed Keipi's instructions and stepped directly onto the land of Io.

The place where they stopped was a place similar to the beach next to Duel Academy.

Walking along the beach, what filled their eyes was the leisurely scene of yellow sand and sea blending together. In the distance, they could even see some dolphins constantly splashing in the waves.

However, unlike the scenery on Earth, there is no warm sun hanging in the distant sky, but it is shrouded in an endless blue color created by the starlight.

Like the North Pole of the Earth, this place seems to be in a state of permanent polar night. There is no concept of the transition between day and night, and therefore it is not affected by the fluctuations of light.

The time capsule containing the card deck will fall here after drifting in the universe. Maybe even if it is a destined fact, it is the only guide...

"Youxing, I say...that thing over there isn't a planet...could it be Jupiter?"

Pointing to the brown planet across the horizon, Yuki Judai's face was full of surprise.

Coming to the universe for the first time, he was filled with the same curiosity and excitement as Youxing.

Strange place, strange feeling.

Here, apart from the three humans, it seemed that the only ones left were the dolphins surging in the waves in the distance.

"Well, this is Io...so we are looking at Jupiter, no problem."

Just as people on Earth can see the Earth's satellite, the Moon, at night, it is natural to be able to see Jupiter from Jupiter's satellites.

Nodding in agreement, Youxing then turned his gaze to the deeper depths.

Since there is life here, it is only natural that this place should be inhabited by indigenous people.

"…Here you are, Yugi Judai."

"Huh? Who?"

As the dolphins continued to play and jump on the sea surface, suddenly, a voice echoed in the ears of the two.

With curious eyes, Yusei and Yuki Judai stopped and looked in the direction of the sound, and then... they saw a blue dolphin that slightly emerged from the water and cast a friendly look at them.

Yuki Judai: "...A talking dolphin? No! Compared to that, what on earth is going on here?!"

Youxing: "I think you will give us a reasonable explanation, right, Brother Dolphin?"

"…Neo Space, this is LO (Io) in orbit of Jupiter, Yuki Judai, and Yusei…you are invited here."

Another hand stretched out from the water next to the head.

Brother Dolphin tilted his head and began to explain the current situation.

"Invite? But we are on the White Dragon shuttle..."

"But you also came here following the beacon, didn't you?"

"Uh... indeed..."

The beacon here refers to the long-distance positioning device that was originally left in the capsule. It is precisely relying on this that everyone can accurately locate the position of the deck, and then cross the distant universe to come to this strange world.

In a sense, what Brother Dolphin said was not wrong.

- Swish!

Under the gaze of the two, Dolphin Brother jumped out of the water and came in front of the two, showing his figure completely in the eyes of Yucheng Judai and Yusei.

With a streamlined body and blue and white colors, Dolphin Brother looks like Ultraman with a dolphin head, full of unique personal style.

"Hai... Brother Dolphin? It's really you!"

Originally, calling him Dolphin Brother was just a nickname he casually gave, but what Youxing didn't expect was that the person who appeared in front of him was actually the real person who was known as the killer of hand pits!

It seems that I have found the right place!

"Hey... Dolphins have legs? Is there a new species like this?" Unable to suppress the laughter in his heart, Yuki Judai covered his mouth with his hand: "Hahaha... This is so funny, dolphins~"

"No, that's not so funny..."

"……Why?"

He moved closer and waved to the two of them. Then he patted his chest and introduced himself: "I am a Dolphin alien, a resident of Neo Space... I know you will have some doubts about extraterrestrial life like me, but for now, just listen to me!"

"Well, you continue..." After looking at each other, Youxing and Yucheng Judai nodded at the same time tacitly and began to listen to what Brother Dolphin said.

"The source of all battles is the opposition between light and darkness. The universe is the battlefield between light and darkness... In other words, it can be said that it is a world where good and evil are constantly fighting..."

Pointing to the sky above his head, Brother Dolphin continued: "The universe is a gentle dark world that breeds life, but... the universe is now heading towards a destroyed future due to the influence of the light of destruction... and we are looking for people with the right dark power to fight that light."

"The right darkness, so to speak..."

"That's right, Yuki Judai, and Yusei..." Nodding, Brother Dolphin pointed to the two of them: "As heroes, you have been chosen by this darkness!"

"Huh... I was chosen too?"

Pointing at himself, Youxing couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

He was just a companion who came here to go for a walk, so why was he chosen?

So… there’s no reward for saving the universe? Will I get a wife who is the embodiment of the Great Will after I save it?

"Uh... Brother Dolphin, are you mistaken? We are just ordinary people. We don't have the power to save the universe! You expect us to fight the space monsters, but we can't do that anyway!"

Seeing the topic gradually moving towards the special effects film set, Yuki Judai immediately waved his arms and raised his own questions.

Well, we are duelists, not warriors of light with the ability to transform.

Playing cards is fine, but forget about fighting monsters. I don’t have the ability to do that, you know…

Even though the duel disk can be used as a weapon, but... that's really not the correct way to use it!

"Hey...what are you two thinking about!"

With a slight sigh, Brother Dolphin crossed his arms and said, "Well, Judai and Yusei, the duel you are learning is the root of the opposition between light and darkness. Whether you realize it or not, the moment you embark on the road of duel, you have already made your own choice!"

Yujo Judai: “Is… is that so?”

Yusei: "Hmm? ...There is such a thing?"

When they first heard that the duel was related to saving the universe, confusion suddenly appeared in their eyes.

"No... Why did you learn to duel?"

Speechless at the surprised reactions of the two people who seemed to be hearing the news for the first time, Brother Dolphin couldn't help but hold his head and sigh towards the sky.

Ah...it seems that the savior this time is not very reliable!

"Why... duel?" Yusei repeated Dolphin's question, and a matter-of-fact expression appeared on his face: "Because... you are interested?"

"So where does your interest come from? Following Youxing's words, Brother Dolphin asked a soul-searching question.

"Damn... this question is too general, just like asking me why 1+1 equals 2... I'm interested, so why?"

Scratching his head in annoyance, Youxing expressed his thoughts.

There's nothing special about it. The reason why I learn to duel is purely out of interest and hobby. At the beginning, I never thought about doing anything through dueling.

"That's it, Yusei... This is the proof of the opposition between light and darkness. I believe that the reason why you embarked on the path of duel and appeared here is also the destined result!" With his hands on his hips, Brother Dolphin's eyes were full of shining looks of 'As expected, you are the chosen one'.

Youxing: “…”

"So, what about you, Judai? Why did you choose the path of dueling?" Turning his head, Dolphin Brother asked Judai Yuki about his thoughts.

"…Why? Those things are so far away, I can't remember them clearly…"

Putting his finger on his lips and showing a thoughtful look, Yuujo Judai slowly said: "...After the duel with Ed Phoenix ended, my mind seemed to become blank. I suddenly felt like I didn't know why I had been dueling all this time..."

"The acting principal said that this was the influence of the Light of Destruction, and asked me to go outside the Earth to find the corresponding darkness of the universe... Then, Yusei and I followed the instructions all the way and came here to find the deck I created when I was a child, so... Even if you ask this, I don't know how to answer!"

"Judai, you..."

"Curry~~~!!!"

Just as Brother Dolphin blinked and was about to say something, the dolphins in the distance suddenly issued a warning cry.

The people whose conversation was interrupted immediately raised their heads and looked at the golden halo that suddenly appeared from the distant outer world.

Under the gaze of everyone, the golden halo gradually turned into substance during the continuous rotation.

Then, a UFO (unidentified flying object) with golden light all over its body broke through the limitations of the atmosphere and appeared above the airspace of Io.

468 Please serve it quickly. I can’t wait!

"Not good, that guy showed up!"

Feeling the approaching terrifying aura, looking up at the sky, watching the invaders coming from the other side of the dimension, Brother Dolphin's face showed obvious worry.

"What...who is that guy?" Looking at the UFO in the sky from afar, Yuki Judai's words were filled with obvious doubts.

Could it be that the UFO spacecraft...

Yusei: "That UFO... is it some kind of space creature?"

Brother Dolphin: "Yes, just like I mentioned earlier, this guy is the lackey of the Light of Destruction that destroyed the universe!"

"……what?"

"No matter what, I must protect our Neo Space from them. Judai, Yusei... please lend me your strength!" Clenching his right fist, Dolphin Brother asked for strength assistance from the two in a very serious tone.

"Uh...but I don't have a ray gun or a cannon that can fire rays. How can I lend you my power?"

With a little sweat seeping out of his forehead, he scratched his head in embarrassment, looking at the alien life form that was slowly descending to the ground in the distance, constantly changing its body from spaceship mode to biological mode, and Yuki Judai couldn't help but say these words.

"…Didn't I just say that? Through a duel."

In response to Yuki Judai's question, Dolphin Brother said, "...We don't need that kind of thing to fight them! All we need is the Duel Monster itself! Go! Fight that guy with a Duel!"

"A... a duel?"

"Hmm...Judai, it looks like it's your turn to appear!"

Patting Yusei Judai on the shoulder, Yusei then asked Brother Dolphin: "By the way, we are looking for a deck that dropped on this planet. Brother Dolphin, have you seen anything like a space capsule? Maybe what we are looking for is in there."

"...Card deck? You mean the capsule-like thing that fell with the aircraft?"

After listening to Yusei's explanation and thinking for a moment, Brother Dolphin took out a mechanical egg-shaped object from behind and handed it to Yusei: "I found this thing in the wreckage of an aircraft when I was taking a walk before. It seems to contain the deck you need."

Yugi Judai: "Oh? What a coincidence... The deck came to me? Then all we need next is the Duel Disk!"

The card deck bathed in the darkness of the universe that we needed to find turned out to be in Brother Dolphin's possession!

If we hadn't encountered this, wouldn't we have been lost forever and always faced the situation of not being able to find the way?

He nodded in agreement, and such thoughts could not help but arise in Yujo Judai's mind.

Perhaps, their meeting was also destined?

"Don't worry about that... I knew there would be a duel scene, so I prepared the duel disk in advance!"

Taking out two duel disks from the backpack behind him, Yusei put one on his arm, and then handed the other one along with the capsule containing the card to Yusei Judai: "Judai, now try again and see if you can see the card inside."
