//------------------------------// // Duel 5: Reinforcements // Story: Yu-Gi-Oh EQG 8: The 63rd Dimension // by Bahamut0 //------------------------------// The two groups of heroes were touring around the gender-swap dimension's CHS. "Everything's the same somehow. The only difference being the genders of the people we know.", Burst said as he and his friends observed their surroundings. Saffira giggled. "In that case, let us show you around some more familiar territory. Time for you to meet my boyfriends." Saffira went to Principal Solaris's office. "Hey Solaris. Hi Eclipse." Two guys who looked like male versions of Celestia and Moon. "Hello Saffira. Always nice to see you.", Solaris said with a pleasant smile. "Hey beautiful.", Eclipse said with a flirty tone as he wrapped his arms around her. "It's been too long." Eclipse kissed her full on. "You're always trying to one-up me aren't you?", Solaris asked with a small smile. "Hey. I've literally been the man of her dreams.", Eclipse said with a smirk. "Well, actually that makes both of us if you consider the dream dates. I swear her whole body must have been blushing when we made-out with her." Saffira blushed at remembering that moment. "So anyway, who're your new friends? They look like twin brothers and sisters of your friends." "We're here from another dimension.", Inferno replied. "Aside from the gender swap, everything is pretty much the same. But why're you at school on the weekend?" "The upcoming music showcase is coming up.", Glare answered. "A lot of the performers are using the gym for practice. The Rainbooms and I are definitely entering!" "So do any of you and your friends have any plans on entering? The guys and I have put on some pretty sweet performances.", Burst asked Saffira. "Not really. But we are gonna cheer our friends.", Saffira said with a smile. "Besides. We'd be shoe-ins to win. We're too good." "Well if you aren't entering, we're definitely going to!", Steel said with a grin. "Now all we need is a good band name." "I've got one.", Burst replied. " How about...Heart of the Cards?" "....Awesome.", Inferno said. "We should probably call up the rest of our friends. We've gotta make a quick run to our world and back. Just sit tight!" The main universe group went off to their world. Saffira and her friends decided to take a look at the different acts going on at the upcoming showcase. Everyone seemed to be getting along until three guys walked in and started showing off their singing skills. Soon all the students were at each other's throats! "Guys...I'm feeling a pretty strong dark magic.", Glare said. "Something tells me those three are here for more than just a chance to show-off their skills..." The Bindings were feeling pretty good about things so far. They'd gotten a great haul of negativity and they'd seem to have won an audience. "Let's split up for now guys.", Allegro said. "Might as well kill some time." The three of them split up and went their separate ways, and each of them bumped into a girl on their way. "Oh! Didn't see you..." Allegro paused as he saw a girl with brown skin and green and yellow hair was in front of him."there." Venus quickly blushed. "My bad! I should've looked where I was going!" Allegro smiled at her. Not a scheming smile or a dark one. One that you get when you see someone that's caught your interest. "It's alright. You're a shy little flower aren't you? I'm Allegro. Allegro Bind. What's your name?" "Venus. Venus Bloomer." "It suits you. You look as lovely as the goddess herself." Venus turned red after hearing that! "Do you have any plans?" "N-no." "Then it looks like we have some time to kill together." Allegro offered her his arm. "That is...if you're interested." Venus smiled as she latched on. 'Maybe this world isn't so bad...' Meanwhile, Arrow had run into a girl of his own. "Ow! Watch it!", Arrow snapped! He soon spotted a girl with gray skin and purple hair before him. Oddly enough, she looked like she had wolf ears and a tail. She nearly jumped at seeing him and gave him puppy dog eyes. "I'm sorry! I didn't look where I was walking!" Any frustration Arrow had left him instantly the second she gave him those eyes. "N-no. It's my fault. I should've given you a warning.", Arrow said with a slight blush. "Sooo, are you a cosplayer? Those ears and tail look pretty realistic." "Oh! Y-yeah! I like to wear them so much I forget to take them off!", Moonlight said. "I'm Moonlight by the way! Nice to meet you!" 'She's kinda cute. Maybe this place isn't the worst afterall.', Arrow thought with a smile. "I'm Arrow Blaze. Hey, Moonlight? I've got no plans. You wanna hit up the town?" "I'd love to!", Moonlight chirped as Arrow lead her on. Serenade on the other hand had a much more pleasant altercation with the girl he ran into. He had accidentally bumped into her while daydreaming about tacos. "Oh man! Are you okay?", Snowstorm asked. Serenade shook off the fall and smiled at her. "I'm OK! My brothers say I've got a thick skull. So I took that as a compliment!" Serenade took a moment to take in the girl's appearance. "Wow. You're pretty! I'm Serenade!" "Oh. Thank you. I'm Snowstorm." "Oh! Because you've got skin as white as snow! Wanna grab something to eat?" "Well...if you don't have any other plans." "Great!" Serenade hoisted her onto his back and carried her on his shoulders like he was her personal mode of transport. "Hope you like having a good time!" Snowstorm smiled. 'He's pretty sweet. Shadow and Ice would kill to have a guy like him.', she thought to herself. Meanwhile, Burst had brought Celestia, Moon, Gold, Ace, Ice, Shadow, Venus, Fang, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata through the portal. The others decided to meet them there. All of them were about to get to introducing them to their counterparts when Sunset Glare rushed up to them. "We've got trouble." Glare told them about the three guys who had showed up earlier and what had gone on while they were there. "And that's what's happened. Care to help us out?" "Adagio, those guys sound like male versions of us.", Aria stated. "Then chances are they have the same plan we did. Our best bet is seeing if we can find our boyfriends' counterparts and ours. Hopefully we can convince them to turn back." Adagio's face was solemn for a moment. "I don't want them to go through what happened to us." "And if it doesn't work?", Glare asked. "Easy.", Burst replied. "We rock the dragon!"
