Dimensional Family

Summary:

Fate is a strange thing. Sometimes it makes people's lives better, sometimes it utterly ruins them.

Other times, it makes the impossible become a reality. As for why... No one knows for sure. Maybe it just wants to have a laugh, uncaring if it's making things better or worse. But we might as well roll with it, don't you think?

Or, you know... We can also take fate into our own hands and decide for ourselves what we want.

 

When they're little, Yuya and Yuzu gain three siblings each.

Notes:

Please read the premise, even if it's long.

First of all. While I fully intend to finish this fic, the updates will be extremely slow. Like, probably... One or two chapters per month. If I'm lucky.

Second. The duels will not be that interesting (at least in my opinion). I'm more interested in the eight counterparts' relationship with each other. But because the duels are particularly long to write, most of them will likely have their own chapter, so there might be (or rather there's going to be) chapter inconsistency, and for that I apologize.

Third. The effects of the cards will be a mix between anime and real life, depending which is more convenient (and sometimes I will even mix the two together), and while I use the Japanese names for the characters, the monster's names will be their English ones (though I will use Entermate instead of Performapal simply because I like it more).

If you're fine with all the things above then I thank you for your comprehension and I hope you'll enjoy the story.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Chapter Text

“Run faster or we’ll miss dad’s duel!”.

“Not my fault you’re a heavy sleeper”.

“I blame it on Yugo!”.

“Hey, what do I have to do with Yuya’s sleeping habits?!”.

Four kids were running through the streets. The first had purple hair with tinges of pink. The second had blue and yellow hair. The third had purple and black hair. And the fourth had red and green hair.

While all of them had very different hair and eye color, they all shared the same face.

“Because it’s always your fault”.

“That’s absolutely not true!”.

“Hey, are they…”.

As they were running, they saw four girls that were in their same situation. The first had pink hair. The second had purple hair. The third had green hair. And the fourth had corvine hair.

Just like the four boys, the girls all shared the same face despite their different eyes and hair.

“Hey! Here!”.

Four pair of eyes turned to them.

“Eh?! You’re running too?”.

“Yup. Yuya took forever to wake up and mom is at work”.

“At least he woke up. Dad is probably still sleeping like a rock”.

“Hey, Rin! Race for who makes it first?”.

“Whenever you want, Yugo!”.

“Please, don’t! We all know you’ll only end up getting lost!”.

It was a striking sight. Eight colorful kids running on a street. All the people who’d see them were either weirded out or chuckled at the funny scene.

Finally, the eight managed to reach the stadium. Once they entered the arena, the duel was already underway but it seems they arrived at the right moment.

An elegant man in a top hat was at the center of the arena with a jolly smile plastered all over his face.

“It’s Showtime! Entermate Revue Dancer can count as two tributes when I summon a Level 7 or higher Entermate monster. Now come and amaze us, Entermate Sky Magician!”.

And with it, the duelist’s trademark monster appeared on the field. The eight kids’ eyes sparkled in amazement at his moves. At one point, his eyes fell on them. The man smiled warmly at the children before he returned to the duel.

“The fun has just begun!”.

The crowd cheered loudly. The kids couldn’t avert their eyes from the duel, like they were hypnotized. The red and green haired one in particular was the most taken.

“One day, I’ll become as amazing as dad”.
