The shining yellow sun soared over the skies of Tokyo. The day was August 31st. About thirty or more days, almost fourty, Ryuuga Sawada and Hikaru Hata had left Tokyo in order to travel the world. In those thirty days, little to none had changed around.

In front of the locked doors of the Hage card shop, Fujiko held the key to open the doors in front of the keyhole. But before she entered the key into it, she turned around and looked up at the sky, a smile forming on her face. 'It's almost time, Ryuuga.'

(Opening)

"Booo, are you going to open the door or what?" Aijou said, sticking her tongue out. "I didn't sacrificed a perfect day to go to the beach to standing still in front of doors."

"Geez, I got it, no need to call me out on being happy." Fujiko slid the key into the keyhole and gave it a twist, chainreacting a unlocking sound. She dragged the key out and the doors slid to the side, allowing the two girls to enter the store. Fujiko headed for behind the counter, grabbing her blue apron and putting it on, while Aijou pulled a chair and sat down.

"Maaaaaan, this is sad..." She sighed, placing her head on the table across her. "I can't believe that bastard alrady had plans for today..."

"Aww look at you, all inlove and what not." Fujiko teased, smugging at Aijou with both arms crossed.

"Shut up, you were the same when you and Ryuuga were stuck in that endless loop of shyness! And besides, Ichigo had no business taking the day off to himself, specially after I bought this shirt just for him! Look at this beauty! It's white, tight and has stripes! DO you know how much stripes make the bust size bigger?"

"You're asking me...?" Fujiko deadpanned. "Besides, your boobs look the same as always. Always were big, still are big."

"No, I can see they got bigger with the stripes." Taira said, sitted alone in a table while eating a sandwich. 

Aijou let out a scream, crossing her arms over her chest. "W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

"You see, Hisano had guitar practise today, Kaminari has a family lunch, Emon and Akira went to see that wrestling match in Okinawa so since I was alone, I decided to come instead of go to my dad's restaurant and hear him scream at people."

"QUESTION IS, HOW ARE YOU ALREADY INSIDE?!" Fujiko spat in reply. "I LITERALLY UNLOCKED THE DOOR NOT EVEN FIVE MINUTES AGO!"

"Funny story. I came here this morning and went to take a piss, when I left the bathroom, THIS PLACE WAS CLOSED FROM THE OUTSIDE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE so I bought some sandwiches from the machine over there and ahd lunch in here. THAT DAMN BALD HEAD KAMISHIRO LOCKED ME HERE LIKE A LAB RAT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Taira explained. "So what are you two ladies up to in this fine afternoon?"

"Me and Ichigo were supposed to go to the movies but he said he needed the day out to figure out something." Aijou crossed her arms. "That damn bastard lost his chance at being with the girls today."

"Yeah, after you forcing him to go on two dates per week with you, I'm sure he won't notice it. How do you even do that, exactly?" Fujiko asked.

"Easy. I say he is too much of a scrub to take me on a date, he grabs my hand and says that he's going to take me on a date and that I'm gonna like it. Easy game." A proudful grin formed in Aijou's mouth.

"So are you two a thing or...?"

"Oh please! I'm just taking advantage of the giant love her has for these two beautiful boobs of mine, me and him will never be a serious thing!"

"She has a point, those two boobs are beautiful." Taira pointed out.

"See? Even Taira gets it. Thank you."

"Don't thank him for saying that, it's not a thing he should say!"

"In my defense, I'm not Hikaru so I can say the occasional perverted thing."

"Your counter-argument, Fujiko?" Aijou asked, staring at the girl.

"I..." Fujiko looked down, showing she gave up. "I don't have one..."

"I won an argument?! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FUCK YEAH YEAH REEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEE YA YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! By the way, where's Kamishiro?"

"Oh, he and my sister went to check wedding cakes. Can't believe those two finally figured out a date for their wedding. They have been doing that ever since... Ages ago. I can't even put a number on it."

"Maybe around the time my old man used Raging Form to whoop my uncle's ass,"

"Maybe around the time I had small boobs."

"Did you ever had small boobs though?" Fujiko and Taira asked, making Aijou shut up instantly.

"Can't believe this is our last day of summer break! This sucks ass reeeeeee!" Taira exclaimed, slamming his ehad against the table. "School starts on monday already, we only have today and the weekend between the start of hell..... This sucks...."

"I get to tease the hell out of Ichigo in a school uniform so I'm excited for it. Maybe I'll even ask the school for a smaller shirt just to annoy him even more!"

"Stop abusing the boy's dreams, Aijou. He may be the guy who calls everyone a scrub and very obnoxious but he's still a normal teenager. If you keep teasing him, he will break one day."

"Duh! Exactly! That's what I'm going for! And by the way, you don't have any reason to talk, you're super excited about school returning since you will become Ryuuga's girlfriend when he returns!"

Fujiko's face went red before being coevred by her hands. "S-stop! That's not funny!"

"Let me guess..." Aijou smugged. "You're already counting the hours, aren't you?"

"No... Six hours, thirteen minutes and four seconds until his jet arrives, OKAY YES I AM GIVE ME A BREAK!" Fujiko exclaimed, pouting after. "I haven't seen him in before and haven't talked to him in ages. He spends most of his time enjoying the world and ignores his phone so we don't talk much. He also spends alot of time in a plane so he can't use his phone to talk there, not even my text."

"Wow, hard life. But don't worry, I'm sure the first thing he'll do when he arrives is give that small butt a big slap-"

"STOP SOUNDING LIKE A LESS MALE HIKARU!" Fujiko shouted, covering Aijou's mouth with both hands. "IT'S NOT FUNNY WHEN YOU SAY THINGS LIKE THAT, RYUUGA ISN'T SOME SORT OF PERVERT LIKE YOU OR HIKARU OR ICHIGO! HE'S A REAL GENTLEMAN, YOU GOT THAT YOU BITCH?!"

Aijou nodded, pulling away Fujiko's hands. "Fineeeee. The first thing he will do is grab you and go straight for those lips because he missed you. There, you got the boring version, happy?"

"Very."

In the midst of what was happening inside Hage, the front doors opened to revealed someone rather odd. It was someone familiar, but not quite. Fujiko, Aijou and Taira stared at the individual for a while before reaching the same conclusion. 'WAIT BUT ISN'T HE LIKE A HUNDRED YEARS OLD BY NOW?!' It wasn't a nice conclusion.

The individual walked into the store, waving the trio. It was a tall boy with white hair and red eyes. Black jeans on his legs, black shoes on his feet, a white shirt on his body with a tie on his neck and a light blue jacket over the shirt. He had a pair of black framed glasses on his face and a white green striped hat on his head. His juvenile face showed a happy and nice smile. "Good afternoon, everyone!" He said.

'I thought he was older...' Fujiko thought.

'I thought he wasn't so nice...' Aijou followed.

'I thought he only wore rich clothes...' Taira ended.

"I... I... I..." Fujiko stuttered, shocked by who was before her eyes. "Welcome to Hage, how may I help you...?" 'This is too weird...'

"I was searching for an opponent and I happened to be near the store. I will be in one of the fighting tables if any of you friendly people wishes to fight." The indivual walked over to one of the fighting tables near the store's left wall, humming happily as he did so.

Taira got up from his seat and rushed to join the two girls on the table they were. He placed his phone on the table for the three to look at it. It showed the Google search of 'Ryuzaki Mikazuchi 2019', and the first image was... "That guy is Ryuzaki from before our dads and mons graduated from high school! That's like, a quajillion years ago!"

"I can't believe this, the sucker actually made himself younger! He's a genius! He will change the world!" Aijou expressed.

"That can't be him so stop trying to suck him off!" Fujiko pulled out her phone and dialed Ryuzaki's personal number. 

On the other side of the line, Ryuzaki was in his office working as per usual. He looked at his phone and shrugged before answering the call in speaker mode. "Go for Ryuzaki."

'Are you in your office?'

"Yeah, where else would I be? GEN doens't restarts for classes in some days so I don't need to go teach dumb students about how to put their pee pees inside-"

'Yeah yeah, I don't care. Your 2019 sef just walked into Hage! What the hell did you do this time?!'

Ryuzaki remained silent for a moment. "Keep him there, I'll be there in about some minutes." Ending the call, he shot up from his seat. "Hey Maverick, I know what we're gonna do today! Go get the big guns and no, I don't mean your muscles or my wife's chest!"

Fujiko stared at her phone, her face showing how annoyed she was. "That little bastard. He said to keep his other self here until he arrived. What do we do?"

"For starters, we should start whispering." Taira bluntly said. "Secondly, that guy said he wanted a fight and I'm not fighting him since the original Ryuzaki is a protag so this busted D-lister doesn't deserves to be slayed by me reeeeeeeeee!"

"Don't look at me, if this guy is also Ryuzaki, you know he has a thing for people with my chest art and I don't need to become a Mikazuchi's mistress, I'm not into money that much!"

"You two lazy pieces of..." Fujiko turned to look at the younger Ryuzaki. "In case you are still looking for an opponent, I will fight you, if you don't mind."

Ryuzaki smiled and shook his head. "I'll be glad to fight you." He removed his hat and gave it a quick poke, making his deck fall right off it and landing perfectly on the table.

Fujiko's eye twitched. 'Oh great, this one is a show off too.' She laughed on the back of her head. She walked over to the opposite site of the table and sat down, taking her deck out of the apron and searching it for the card that would become her staring vanguard. Placing her shuffled deck down, she looked at Ryuzaki, who had already set up his side. "Oh, quick."

"The sooner we start, the better, right?"

"I guess so...?" She drew five carda dn took a glance at them. "Keeping it."

Aijou and Taira stood around the table, both staring at Ryuzaki. "Do you think this one also uses Murakumo?" Taira asked.

"If he's from 2019 then I think he is using another format." Aijou bluntly replied, placing her hands on Fujiko's shoulder and giving them a hard squeeze. "Good luck!"

Fujiko nodded, smiling. Then, she looked at Ryuzaki. "Let's start. Stand up, vanguard!"

"Stand up, the vanguard!"

"I ride Aiming for the Stars, Artemis! (Grade 0|6000)" Fujiko exclaimed, her vanguard circle expanding lilac unlike the old purple.

"GENESIS!? BUT ORACLE THINK TANK IS AN ACTUALLY GOOD DECK, WHY DID SHE CHANGE IT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!?!" Taira yelled.

Aijou slapped Taira on the back of the head, making the orange haired shut up. "You see, she used to main Geneiss before becoming Queen. When we became best friends again and she and Ryuuga finally admitted their burning love for each other, she decided that it was time for her to return to her roots! Right?"

"No, I started using Genesis again because I'm living the best version of my life. I couldn't do it with my old clan. And can you two shut up while I'm fighting? So sorry for that."

Ryuzaki shook his head. "It's perfectly fine. I ride Primordial Dracokid! (Grade 0|6000) Would you like to go first, Fujiko?"

"I'll be glad to." Fujiko drew a card. "If you don't mind me asking, why Gear Chronicle and not Murakumo? Is it because Ryuuga beat you?"

"Hm? Not at all. Ryuuga doesn't has anything to do to it. I just decided to use the clan I've always used, the clan my father used before me. The clan that can change everything, Gear Chronicle."

"Ah huh..." Fujiko deadpanned. "I ride Witch of Cats, Cumin. (Grade 1|8000) Artemis' skill, I draw one card. Turn end."

"Stand and draw!" Fujiko looked at Ryuzaki, her determination burning within her eyes. "With the mirror that reflects the world's darkened state, a new light will create the clean slate for a new chance! I ride Oracle Queen, Himiko! (Grade 3|13000)" Fujiko's vanguard circle exploded lilac. "Imaginary Gift, Force! It goes to my vanguard! (13000>>23000) I call Battle Maiden, Sahohime! (Grade 2|9000) Satorihime's skill! Counterblast, soulblasting two, I draw two cards! The, I put Talisman Angel into the soul and she gets 5000 power. (9000>>14000) I call Goddess of the Milky Way, Pleione!

The other two stay on the top of the deck. Finally, I call Battle Maiden, Mihikarihime! (Grade 1|8000) With her skill, my next soulblast is reduced by three cards! That will be great thanks to Himiko's skill! Usually, I would need to soulblast five, but this time, I'll soulblast just two! After that, I put Talisman Angel from the soul on the bottom of the deck and for each of your vanguard's grades, I activate it's trigger effect that many times! Going twice, draw trigger! Sahohime and Pleione get 10000 power and I draw two! (14000>>24000) (13000>>23000)Going right into the battle phase, Himiko attacks the vanguard! (23000)"

"Stand and draw. Be summoned by the sands of time, my re-imagined and fully perfected future! The embodiment of the utopian perfection! Interdimensional Dragonknight, Lost Legend! (Grade 3|13000)" Ryuzaki's vanguard circle exploded dark red, with the edges turning purple.

"What a sec, did he say 'Dragoknight' instead of 'Dragon Knight'?" Taira asked, rubbing his non-existent beard.

"Localization, a card game's worst enemy." Aijou replied.

"Imaginary Gift, Force! To my vanguard! (13000>>23000) I call Steam Hunter, Lippitt. (10000) Lippitt's skill, I bind Roly-poly Worker to give her 3000 for the turn. (10000>>13000) Lost Legend isn't the type of card to stick around during my turn. Afterall, this deck is all about striding for new possibilities. By discard cards from my hand up to a sum of grade 3 or higher, I can superior ride a Grade 4 unit that will stick around for this turn and leave the field at the end of the turn. However, this special card counts as a grade 3 when it's about to be discarded." Ryuzaki revealed Wedgemove Worker from his hand and placed it in his drop zone. Taking a card from his deck, he slammed it against his vanguard circle, making it explode dark red. "Expand now, wings that represent my utopian ideals! Transcend! Interdimensional Dragon, Idealize Dragon! (Grade 4|15000)"

"Transcend?"

"I think some crap like this was used when the game was stupid. But it included an extra deck and was called 'Generation Stride'."

"Sounds like crap."

"Believe me, it was crap." Aijou giggled.

"Idealize Dragon's skill! Applying skills up to the sum of the grades in my bind zone! Since it is at least grade 1, you'll send a rear-guard to the bottom of the deck!"

"Pleione."

"And since it's at least grade 5, I will be calling the top card of my deck. Superior call, Memenne! (Grade 1|6000) Lost Legend's skill! When a unit rides over him, I pay a double counterblast to draw! And then, Memenne's skill! When my vanguard is placed, I draw! Then, I drop one. Let's see... I'll discard Mystery-Flare Dragon. Since I discard a card that was at least grade 3, add 5000 to three of my units. Idealize (25000>>30000), the new Memenne (6000>>11000) and Lippitt! (13000>>18000) I call Quicky Quicky Worker. (Grade 1|8000) When she's called, I can botdeck any card in my drop zone, which will be Mystery-flare. And since I botdecked a card that was at least grade 3, I soulblast two to draw one. Finally, I call Steam Mechanic, Nabu! (Grade 2|10000) Now let's battle. Boosted by Memenne, Idealize Dragon attacks! (30000>>36000)"

"No guard!"

"Twin drive. (Interdimensional Dragonknight, Lost Legend|Steam Guard, Kastilia - Draw) Draw trigger. I give all the effects to Nabu. (10000>>20000)"

"Damage check! (Oracle Queen, Himiko)"

"Boosted by Quicky Quicky Worker, Lippitt attacks! (18000>>26000)"

"Cyber Tiger! (28000)"

"Boosted by Memenne, Nabu attacks! Nabu's skill, I bind Lost Break Dragon from my bind zone and for this battle, you can't guard with grade 1 or higher units. Furthermore, after this battle ends, Nabu goes into the soul and I draw one card. (20000>>31000)"

Taking a look at her hand, Fujiko shook her head. "No guard. (Strong Bow of the Starry Night Sky, Ulixes)"

"Nabu goes into the soul and draw. At the end of my turn, Idealize Dragon is retired from my vanguard circle and I superior ride Lost Legend from the soul! That means I'll get to activate this again. Imaginary Gift, Force! To the cirlce where Lippitt is. That's all for me."

"Stand and draw." Ryuzaki smilled at the card he drew. "I like this one. I call Lippitt over Lippitt. (Grade 2|10000>>20000) By binding the Idealize that was retired last turn, add 3000. (20000>>23000) I call Lost Break Dragon! (Grade 2|10000) With his skill, I bind Mystery-flare Dragon from my hand to draw. Since there is a card in my bind zone, Lost Break gets 3000 during my turn.

"Stand and draw... Tell me, how many cards are left in your deck?" Fujiko asked.

"There's a total of fourteen cards in my deck."

"So Melissa is a bust... Or not. Radiate even more! Descend now, queen that oversees the future! I person ride! Oracle Queen, Himiko! (Grade 3|13000>>23000)" Fujiko's vanguard circle exploded lilac once again. "Imaginary Gift, Force! Putting it on Shitateruhime's circle! (10000>>20000) Shitateruhime's skill!

Ryuzaki grit his teeth. "Disruption mixed with milling... My perfect board... Turned to dust! I superior call...

"No no no... Error... eRrOrRoRoRoR!" Ryuzaki's shaky hand slapped the top card of his deck into his damage zone, not a trigger. Smoke started coming off his ears as his red turned fully red and his whole body began shaking. "ErRoR eRrOr ErRoR!"

"Oh yeah, she won!" Aijou and Taira said, high fiving each other before looking at Ryuzaki. "What...?

"You can't be serious, is this Ryuzaki an actual... Android?" Fujiko asked, sweatdropping as she stared at Ryuzaki's malfunctioning.

"HuMaNs MuSt LoSe In CaRd GaMeS!" Ryuzaki said in his now distorted voice.

"I don't think so, pepperino." The real and old Ryuzaki said as he walked into the store, carrying in his head the real white green stripped hat and a smoothie on his right hand. "Give him the good poke, Muscle-hustle." Ryuzaki tipped his hat at his robotic self and started sipping on his smoothie.

"You got it, big chief." Maverick walked into the store, carrying over his shoulder a large cannon. He got down on one knee and aimed the tip of the cannon at the android. "All systems engaged. Freaky Fish Guy is on the run! Fire!" He clicked the trigger on the cannon, firing a literal harpoon towards the android.

The robotic Ryuzaki turned to face the harpoon, being totally stabebd by it in doing so. He fell onto the ground, making a loud sound of metal falling down. After letting out a few distoted sounds, his eyes went black as he deactivated, letting out the traditional Windows shutdown sound.

Fujiko looked at Ryuzaki and Maverick with a face of anger instead of confusion. "Whatcha got there?"

Ryuzaki pointed to his smoothie. "A smoothie."

"I think she meant Muscle-hustle over there." Aijou replied.

"A big harpoon gun. Don't you guys have one laying around too?"

"I don't think so..."

"Ah minor. You three, get your asses on the limo, we're gonna go pick up our special travellers at the aiport right now. Go go go! I'm driving!"

"Whya re you driving your own limo?" Taira asked as he ran past Ryuzaki.

"That's how I like to flex! Maverick, get me the damn busted junk. Dman thing couldn't even make standard Gear Chronicle look good."

"That's why you made it!?" Aijou asked, also running past Ryuzaki and Maverick.

"Of course. Do you really think I'd use Gears in standard? Come on, its Kumos for life, I promised the big flexer up there I would make Kumos my main deck when Kaido was born."

After driving towards the aiport, and picking Emon and Akira on the bus station in the way, Ryuzaki stopped his white limo right in front of the airport's main doors. Fujiko, Taira, Aijou, Emon and Akira left the limo and stood there waiting for their friends.

"It'll be good to see Sawada and Hikaru after all this time. Fourty days went by, just like that. I'm actuall starting to miss math." Emon laughed.

"Oh please, as if you would miss your worst subject." Akira replied. "I just want my Royalty couch back."

"I got an eighty out of hundred in our last math test while you jobbed with a fifty. I got better with studying."

"Don't flex that one me..."

'Meanwhile I'm here with bad math grades all the time...' Aijou and Taira thought, sighing after.

"Look at them, trying to make themselves cooler by slow walking." Ryuzaki said, pointing at Kaido, Hikaru and Ryuuga, who were leaving the aiport and walking up to the limo in slow mode.

"You said this was going to look cool." Kaido said, looking at Hikaru.

"And trust me, it is." Hikaru started walking normally and joined his friends. "What up ricefielders?!"

"It's not racists if it is about your own people!"

"That's the correct trolley olley of logic, orange haired kacchan! Goddamn, I missed Nippon!"

"So, had any fun traveling?" Ryuzaki asked, shaking his son's hand.

"What can I say? The world is wonderful."

"You're welcome, I kinda saved it."

"And I got to top 32 on a tournament. Have fun living without knowing how that feels."

"That was cold, even for a Maverick standard." Maverick said, laughing at Ryuzaki's frozen self.

"Hello, everyon-" Ryuuga was cut off by a sudden kiss from Fujiko. "And to you too." He said, smilling at her.

"I really hate you..." She replied, chuckling.

"I like you too."

"Good luck keeping him, you know how girls feel about manbuns." Aijou said, playfully punching Fujiko's shoulder.

"What?" Fujiko looked at Ryuuga and became shocked. "What!?"

"I didn't really had the time to stop by a barber on any of the countries we went to so I just got used to it." Untied, Ryuuga's hair would easily reach his shoulders, so it formed a small bun behind his head when tied.

"I love it."

"I hoped you did. So, are we still agreed on what I said before leaving?"

"We are... Boy-friend!"

"Stop flexing on us single people." Aijou spat back.

"Glad to ehar it, girlfriend."

Hikaru clapped his hands above his head. "Oh yeah yeaah, RyuuFuji finally sailed into the fucking sea of love! All these months of hard work paid off on the long run!"

"Yeah, yeah. Keep it down before I slap you. So, how was the trip?"

"To put it simply, running away froma  hairy ass gorilla was never so intensive-" As Hikaru was about to finish his sentence, Ryuuga and Kaido slapped him shut, glaring at him as a sign to not say a word.

"What?"

"Oh nothing, just a silly story with goofy jokes for kids." Hikaru laughed nervously, looking at Ryuuga and Kaido, who also laughed with him.

"Hey where's Iku?" Maverick asked.

"I don't know. He's just an Iku, they don't do much."
