Here it begins, Sissy

Evan's POV

This world, what was its purpose? Why does it have to be such an unfair and boring place to live in? I have been ten years old when I first asked myself that and it hasn't passed even a day without me reminding myself about it. As you could have guessed by now, I'm not the kind of guy that has a lot of friends or is popular. Actually I'm the type of person that prefers to not stand out, but at the same time I want something exciting to happen.

Hanging with the few friends that I have isn't interesting anymore and school just bores me to dead since I already know everything that's important about life. The only interesting thing in this world were the games. Computer games, sports or card games, I was hooked in trying and mastering all of them. Now I remember, one of the things I was pretty good at was playing Yugioh. It was a really interesting game for me and I often used it as a way to train my brain. Coming up with complex strategies and combos; it was far better than most Strategy games that I played before due to its interesting concept and amazing artworks.

Back in the days when I was younger Yugioh was a very popular game among the boys at my school. Watching them all group together around a table playing the card game while talking and laughing made me feel isolated from them. That pretty much was what caused me to get interested and after much begging my parents gave me money to buy a structure deck. I started playing and quickly gained a few friends among my classmates.

Unfortunately after some time has passed the others lost interest in Yugioh and most games in general. To be fair, I was pretty sad since by then I got really hooked in the game but there was nobody to play with expect my sisters.

And so time passed by; we grew older and each of us found their own hobbies and interests. Today wasn't any different from any other day. I came back from school with my two sisters walking beside me.

"Ugh, today completely exhausted me." I groaned as I opened the door of our house, letting my sisters walk in before I would enter.

"Stop acting like a baby please." My younger twin sister, Elizabeth, respond harshly as she walked inside the house.

I can't really understand what her problem with me is. She acted coldly and harshly toward me since we were six or seven. What makes it worse is that I'm the only one who gets that attitude from her. She was pretty popular among our classmates and was trying to be in a good relationship with our younger sister – something that I tried to use in order to understand why she dislikes me so much but alas, I had no such luck.

"It's you who's acting tough as a gorilla." The youngest among us, Avice replied crossing her hands. "After running an entire kilometer your legs probably feel numb, right?"

Elizabeth just shrugged and the two walked in our room to change, while also locking the room so I couldn't get in; after all, I'm the only boy among use. Being the oldest and only male of three siblings isn't awesome at all.

You see, our parents were expecting to have just one child so our house has only two bedrooms - one for them and one for the kid. But ironically, they got twins instead and had to renovate the room, adding a second bed and what not. And later when they learned that another daughter was coming our room changed again, with my sister's bed getting replaced by a bunk bed.

Though, right now I had worst things to think about. My whole body was aching from today's P.E. classes. Dragging myself to the living room I threw my schoolbag on the ground and fell face first on the couch. Then something caught my eye. It was one of my old Yugioh cards which was lying on the ground; probably Avice dropped it.

I took the card and looked at it – Summoned Skull – the monster that used to be the ace of my very first deck. It had pretty good stats for a mere Level 6 and I had a whole bunch of support for Normal Monsters which I used to protect it from my opponents while powering it up with equip spells.

"We are done." I heard Elizabeth's voice calling from our room.

Groaning I forced myself off the couch and walked in our room. Both of my sisters were lying on their respective beds with Eliz doing something on her laptop while Avice was playing on her phone. I put Summoned Skull on the deck on my desktop near my bed and lied down as well, taking my tabled and headphones.

"Why are you still keeping those cards if you aren't playing with then anymore?" Eliz asked. It seems that she has noticed the card. "They are pretty old and in a good state so why don't you sell them to some collector through internet or something?"

"We still playing with them from time to time." Avice answered instead. "Like when we are really bored or there is a maintenance of our games we duel to pass time."

"Like she said. We still play it when there is nothing else to do." I nodded putting my hands behind my head.

"Seriously, I don't see what you find to be so interesting in those cards…" Elizabeth sighed closing her laptop. "You are already too old to play these childish games. You should get yourself together or you will never be able to make good friends."

"It's not my problem that everyone is so boring." I mumbled turning to the side.

It annoys me how my sister keeps talking to me like I'm some child. Yes, I act childish, but that's my life so I should be the one to decide about how I'm going to live it. Alone or with others, it shouldn't matter for the others since it's none of their business.

"You sound like a little kid." I turned to look at Eliz and saw a smirk on her face. She's trying to provoke me but it isn't going to work; in fact, I like being called this. At least I'm not boring like the others teenagers.

"I would prefer if you don't talk to us like that!" Avice defended me and glared at Eliz. "You don't understand us so don't talk like you know!"

"Avice…"

"She is completely right." I agreed. "You just keep telling us that we should grow up like everyone else. But the truth is that we like ourselves the way we are."

"Don't you think that you two are starting to become weird with all those games?" Elizabeth asked us; a confused look written all over her face.

"I'm weird by nature." I and Avice answered in unison.

"Weirdos."

"Dweeb!" As the three of us started exchanging insults, my deck suddenly started emitting a white blinding light. In reflex I covered my eyes. From where did this light come from? I didn't have the time to ask or wait for an answer. I felt a numbness in my body as I slowly started to lose my sensibility. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my head as words seemed to write themselves inside my mind.

Thou shall be my emissary. Between Heaven and Hell, the Pendulum of Fate keeps swinging.

What is happening with me? It's almost like someone is talking directly to my brain. No, its like they are writting on it! I... I can't… take it anymore…

My consciously is fading in the light…

"Ugh." I slowly opened my eyes seeing the blue sky. What. The. Heck? I was no longer in my room or in a building for that matter. Instead it seemed that I was lying somewhere outside. My head was still hurting from what has happened, but the pain started to pass.

Slowly I got up into a sitting position and found that I was on a grass field near a riverbank. That was strange enough because there was no river anywhere near the town I live in. What was stranger; the ground around me was completely black, like it has been burn by something and the grass that was near the burned sport was blue and looked somehow… not from this world. I don't know how to explain it but it seemed artificial, no, due to the circuit board-esque pattern that was all over it, it seemed like it has partially turned into some sort of machine.

Suddenly I heart a light moan followed by the voice of Eliz saying: "My head hurts."

I quickly turned my head around and saw a girl that looked nothing like my sister lying next to me. She was rubbing her eyes and her appearance was like she came from an anime!

The girl's hair was short and mostly black with blue locks at the ends and two pointy locks on the left side of her fringe. Her outfit consisted of bluish-white jacket with pink pads on the shoulders, a bluish-grey jumpsuit underneath, and white boots that reach up to her knees. She also had a purple belt with a golden button in the center and what seemed to be a deck holder on the right. After she removed her hands I was also able to see her eyes; they were big and blue like the ocean.

"Um… hey." I waved at her smiling awkwardly. "Is your name Elizabeth?"

"Yeah." She nodded with a sleepy expression.

Ok, so she really is my sister. But how did her appearance changed into that of a cute anime girl? I guess it happened because of that strange light. That's probably and what brought us to this place. But wait – if Elizabeth is here shouldn't Avice be somewhere around?

"But who are you?" My sister suddenly asked me. It seems she was wide awake now and by her question I can only guess that my appearance has changed as well.

"It's me. Evan. Do you have any idea of how we ended here?"

"Here?" Elizabeth stared at me dumbfounded for a few moments before looking around our surrounding. "Where the heck are we?! There is no river near town!"

"Please, be quitter." I hear another voice and Avice appeared behind me, leaning her head against my shoulder sleepily. "My heard really hurts for some reason. Are you Evan and Eliz? What happened with you appearance."

"I could ask you the same thing." I replied looking her from head to toes.

Avice's age doesn't seem to have changed as she is still shorter that me and appears to be physically around twelve years old – her actual age. Short grey hair that reached just above her shoulders, some green locks at the ends with the green fringes extending to the sides of the head leaving her eyes to remain visible. A bluish-green shirt was underneath a closed white jacked with green star emblems on each side; it had a hood with a large green line in the middle and two rabbit ears pointing from it. Along with that she wore light green shorts, black and white shoes with long white socks underneath that reached just below her knees. There were also white and green fingerless gloves on both hands and a black belt around her waist with a green deck box hanging from it.

"You seem refreshed." I joked and walked closer to the river to see my own reflection and how I have changed. Hopefully whatever transported us here didn't steal my handsomeness.

Thankfully it didn't. I still had the appearance of a teenager and my skin was paler that my sisters' just like before. I had white hair with red edges and three bangs on the right side of my face, one swiped toward the right while the other two at the left, partially covering one of my eyes, which by the way were red, and also by touching the back of my head I feel that it's tied into a ponytail. Next, my clothes consisted of a very dark purple jacket with blue borders and red stripes which reached just below my chest. The cloth also had a hood with a red gear symbol in the center and a pair of cat ears located between it. Underneath I wore a short sleeve white shirt red tiger stripes at the sides and another gear symbol in the center dark blue skinny jeans, black and purple robotic boots that reached a bit under my knees. Just like Avice I had gloves, but with a triple color of purple, magenta, and red; and if that wasn't enough, there was a secondary armored glove on my left hand.

"Just like expected; I'm fabulous." I said nodding my head. My appearance was pretty cool and I always wanted to let my hair grow so I had no problem with the ponytail. Avice walked beside me and gave me a trump up. Heh, she liked it as well.

"So, where are we? What is this place? How did we get here? Why do we look like this?" Elizabeth assaulted me with an onslaught of questions.

"I have absolutely no idea." I answered casually and put a hand in the pocket of my pants. Strangely, there was something inside. I pulled out everything and found that the only things which remained were a Yugioh deck and an apartment key. Oh, I also had my headphones hanging around my neck. "But certainly it isn't somewhere close to home."

"I agree." Avice nodded. "Somehow, I know that we have a purpose here."

I smiled at my little sister, she was always there with me and vise verse. Avice was also right that we were sent here for a reason. I remember something with being emissaries, but the rest is all blurry.

Also, why was my Yugioh deck that sent us here? Actually that was the source of the strange light. I took it and fanned the cards to see if everything was here.

There was almost nothing.

Most of my cards were blank; no name, no artwork, no effect or stats. Only usable cards were a few Spells and Traps with the word 'Pendulum' in their names, like Pendulum Reborn and Pendulum Back along with other cards like Star Change, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow and Urged Tuning, but other than those cards I had no monsters or whatsoever.

"What the heck is this?" I groaned. Just great the only thing I had with me was useless. "Great, I got shit."

"You aren't the only one." Avice said hanging me her cards. Just like she said other than Battle Fusion, Light Laser, Flash Fusion the cards in her deck were all blank. "And I don't think that we were given those decks just to fool around with them."

"Are you trying to say that we were sent to another world?"

"That's a nonsense!" Elizabeth shouted at us. "Such things happen only in fiction! This is probably all a dream. Yes, just a bad dream. I will wake up any moment."

"I'm not making any claims yet, but the decks and our anime-like appearance do say that this is the case. The only other explanation is that, just like big sister said, all this is a dream." Avice explained.

"Guess you are right." I sighed and turned toward the river before looking at the sky. "Hey Avice, do you think the same thing?"

"Of course I am!" Avice answered and I didn't have to look at her to know that she is smiling right now.

"The world we were born in was a total crap. There were no rules or goal in it. Everyone you can do in it is to exist. At first it's fun but then you grow up and the rules become much harsher. The moves you can do are heavily restricted by morality, principles, justice. Once you get out of line and start living the way you want, you are seen as a defect, a mistake that shouldn't exist."

Suddenly I feel something touching against my hand and saw that Avice was holding my wrist. In the world we live games and fun were just a needless distraction used to manipulate people's way of thinking from a young age.

"But you know what? If this is really the Yugioh world, even if it's a dream it's far more worth living in it." I continued. "A world where everything is solved through a card game… The possibility to get hurt or lose your life a pretty big, but at least there a clear goal for which you risk your life."

"Because of that we should take our time in this 'dream' fulfillment."

"I agree."

I nodded and turned back to Elizabeth. She was sitting on the grass, curled into a ball with her hands wrapped around her body.

"Get up. We are going." I told her.

"Going?" Elizabeth raised her head and looked at me confused. "Where? We don't know anything about this damn place!"

"Chill sis. Just be calm and let us handle the rest. If this is what I think it is, you might just enjoy our stay here."

"If you could find out what happened with us then I'm going to follow you."

"I guess that means that we have a deal." I smirked and held out my hand toward her. "What do you say?"

Elizabeth really hatesdwhen I helped her out and always tried to do everything on her own. Because of that I know that accepting to follow me would be a big hit on her pride.

All the more reason to do it.

Elizabeth looked at my hand unsure and disgruntled. She must be really angry at me right now. But after a few moments she slowly raised her own hand and put it on mine.

"Just this one time."

"That's all I'm asking for." I answered and helped her get up. "Now that it has been decided, let's go find where civilization is. For some reason I don't think that the address written on the apartment key is fake."

"I surely hope that you remember how to duel, sis." Avice added.

"Why do I need to?"

Neither I nor Avice answered to that question and instead I just turned away to hide my smirk before walking off to wherever.

'Here it begins, Sissy.' I thought to myself.

Now then, let's play.

Update 24/12/2018: Fixed a lot of mistakes in the chapter. Small changes in the dialogue and the backstory of the characters to fit better with what I'm going for.

Hey everyone! I'm back again and this time with the rewrited version of my very first fanfiction on this site: Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-Twins.

Anyway, this chapter was pretty much like a copy-paste but what do you guys think about the little twist that I added? That's why I didn't simply name it Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-Gemini. Lol. Things aren't going to be as they were before.

Anyway, this is the end of the first chapter. Please, fav/follow/reply and see you next time!
