Kind of a Kyubey move for the door to appear to Yuma when he's at his most desperate to save someone/most willing to agree to a magical girl contract-

#yugioh #ygo #yugiohzexal #zexal #fanfiction #fanfic

A snippet of a fanfiction. Text reads as follows:

Before he can say anything else it all goes dark, Yuma's surroundings slamming from the bright colourful streets of Heartland to the dim clifftop and looming door that are so familiar from his dreams. He looks around, panic and desire to do *something* clawing at his guts as the door begins to speak.

***"He who opens the door shall obtain a new power. However, as the price for this power, you shall lose that which is most important to you."*** The voice of the door booms through Yuma's core, drawing his attention. Vaguely, in the back of his mind, he recalls Tetsuo and Kotori's warnings not to take any offers from it, and he knows he should just say no. Heck, maybe if he waits long enough he'll fall off the crumbling cliff behind him and snap back to reality, just like in the dreams.

*But.*

Yuma can't deny the desire to save Ryoga, despite his foul temper. He would never be able to live with himself if he let Ryoga *die* because of his own fear of what the door might take from him in exchange.

A snippet of a fanfiction that immediately follows the first snippet. Text reads as follows:

And well, Yuma supposes the *kattobingu* spirit he learned from his father was made for this moment.

The chained door looms, ominously silent as it watches Yuma with its stone face. Yuma hears the clatter of stones behind him as the cliff crumbles ever so slightly at his heels. Gripping his (now glowing, as if it knows what he's decided) pendant, he nods once, stepping closer to the door.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal is technically a magical girl anime, right?
#yugioh #ygo #zexal #fanfiction #fanfic #yugiohzexal

A snippet of a fanfic. Text transcription:

A few months ago, Heartland City had a pair of magical fighters.

A tag team duo, a boy and a girl, who commanded control of water and ice and twin spears against the threat of the Numbers. They fought fiercely, unafraid of the creatures they defended the city from and unshakable in their teamwork.

Then, one day, the girl abruptly disappeared. Several weeks later, the boy seemingly snapped, attacking an innocent civilian for no clear reason. He vanished from the public eye soon after, his reputation shattered, and so Heartland was left defenceless against the Numbers.

A drawing of Yuma Tsukumo and III from Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal. Yuma is on the left and III is on the right and upside down. Both are smiling and blushing at each other. The background is a scribbly mix of dark and light pink.

(Please note that I did archive lock my work after that scraping incident. 🙃)
