Aoi P.O.V

Dream~

'I'm at this place again... The world with red crystals...' I was walking around the halls until I entered the big hall where I saw that guy dressed in all gray from the last time I came here through my dreams

'He looks tired... Should I sing for him...? Or maybe...' I thought to myself and I started walking towards him but I didn't noticed my attire changed into a beautiful dress.

I tapped on his shoulder to get his attention, when he turned around his eyes widen and he moved back a bit due to my sudden arrival

"It's you..." The gray stranger said and I lifted my hand, and  like a instinct to him he gently grasped my hand and we started to dance (This part was inspired by Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal Book 3. So thank you Lumaking7!)

Dumon P.O.V

I was in the throne room, checking if Girag or Alito made any progress on achieving the Numbers but they haven't. I let out a sigh 'I'm growing tired of this... Maybe I should send Mizar...' While I was lost in my thoughts, I felt someone tap on my shoulder, thinking it was Mizar checking on me but it wasn't Mizar... It was the girl from last time but her attire is different. She is wearing the clothes of a princess and they look beautiful on her.

"It's you..." Those were the only words I could say to her and she lifted her hand towards me, and I gently grasped her hand and we started to dance

(Here's the full version of the song)

After we finished dancing, I no longer felt tired, I felt a bit more relaxed and calm. I looked at the girl again and she was smiling softly at me

"Are you feeling a bit better?" The girl asked and I nodded

"It helped me a little, so I thank you for that" I said to her and she gave a soft smile

"I'm glad" The girl said as her body started to vanish and without thinking, I hugged her

"Please don't go. I don't want us to be apart again" I said and she hugged me back

"Even if I vanish again, I hope I get to see you again" The girl said as she placed a kiss on my cheek and she vanished. I placed my hand on my cheek and I felt my heart beating fast

After some time, my heart finally calmed down and looked at the throne once more when I heard Mizar calling my name

"Dumon" I turned around to look at Mizar

"Yes Mizar" I said

"Girag and Alito have made no progress in collecting Numbers." Mizar said

"Their failures mandate that I send you to see that we succeed. Take these with you" I said as I took out three cubes

"What are those?" Mizar asked

"Baria Sphere Cubes, these will allow you to create a temporary Sphere Field. When we battle within Sphere Fields, we can duel with all our power even in the human world. We are now free from having to use incompetent human duelists to battle on our behalf. With these, we can take on Yuma Tsukumo and retrieve the Numbers using our own devastating might. I never imagined we would have cause to use these but Girag and Alito's failures have forced my hand. One of the three is yours, give the other two to Girag and Alito. I hope they do not disappoint me again, my faith in the two of them has faltered, I am relying principally on you Mizar. Defeat Yuma Tsukumo and retrieve the Numbers." I said to Mizar

"I will not fail you! But before I go, there is something I need to say" Mizar said

"What is it?" I asked

"Your mood seems to better now and I wish to know what made you feel a bit relaxed?" Mizar asked me

"That girl appeared here again..." I said which surprised Mizar

"She was here?!" Mizar said as looked around for her

"Yes, but she vanished once again after helping me feel relaxed. It seems she knows when I'm feeling stressed and she helped me" I said and Mizar looked a bit sad

"I see, I hope I get to see her again as well after she sang from the last time she appeared here" Mizar said

"I know, someday we'll cross paths with her" I said to make Mizar a bit better

"I better start preparing to head to Earth" Mizar said as he vanished into the portal

After Mizar left, I let out a breath 'I didn't even ask the girl her name... Maybe when I see her again I'll ask...' I thought to myself

Mizar P.O.V

I entered into a chamber where my dragon slumbers, I needed him for my mission, as I walked closer to my dragon, his eyes glowed red and he growled. I held up the card to absorb my dragon, he was rebellious at first but I finally managed to completely absorb him into the card

"Failure is not possible with this card in my deck." I said as I began to laugh

The next morning~ Aoi P.O.V

I woke up from the sunlight hitting my face, I sat up and stretched my arms, remembering my dream I had last night

'That boy... He looked stressed and tired... I hope I helped at least a little, we even danced too, it was fun...' I thought to myself with a smile

I better get ready, I need to do some shopping today

After I got changed, I started to get my shopping bag, my shopping list, my wallet, I even bringing my duel disk, my deck and duel gazer and my key to my apartment and I left. I was heading to the store to buy some ingredients since I noticed I was starting to run out on some of them, I took out my list and I accidentally bumped into someone

"Oh no! I'm so sorry sir! I wasn't paying attention!" I said and it was a boy who looks like he's 18

"It's alright miss. Here, you dropped you shopping list." The boy said calmly

"T-thank you... I better head to the store and again I apologize for bumping into you" I said and when I looked at him, he had beautiful white hair and yellow eyes

'Uwah. He's beautiful... His clothes are very interesting too... But why do I feel like I know him from somewhere...?' I thought to myself and realized I was staring at him way too long

"Oh no! I apologize! I didn't mean to stare at you for too long!" I said and apologized at the same time

"That's alright" The boy said as he chuckled too which made me embarrassed

"W-well I gotta do some shopping now! I hope I get to see you again Mr...?" I said and asked

"My name is Hiro and what's is your name young lady?" Hiro asked

"M-m-my n-name... Is Aoi Suzuki" I said while stuttering a little and I blushed a little too

"A pleasure to meet you Miss Aoi" Hiro said as he gently grabbed my hand and placed a kiss "Have a nice day and I hope to see you again" Hiro said and he left

'He's mysterious... I'm still wondering... where do I know him?' I thought to myself and decided that I'll think more later, I need to do something shopping

Hiro P.O.V

After my encounter with the princess, I made sure to make presence unknown to her, after all I am her knight that has sworn to protect her ever since she was born and I still remember when I first met the princess...

Flashback~

I became a knight just recently and Eliphas summoned to the throne because he wishes to speak with me, so I was on my way to the throne room with

'I wonder why Lord Eliphas had summoned me?' I thought to myself then I froze 'Oh no! Did I do something wrong!? Wait! I couldn't have... I just started, so there's no way that I'm in...' My thoughts was interrupted by a voice

"Ah. There you are Hiro" I jumped a little when Lord Eliphas appeared

"L-L-Lord Eliphas!" I shouted without realizing and I kneeled down to him

"You may raise. Come, I have someone I wish for you to meet" Lord Eliphas said and I got up and started to follow him to a room which looks like a child's room.

'A child's room... Why would Lord Eliphas bring me here?' I thought to myself and I bumped into Lord Eliphas' back

"Oh! I'm sorry!" I said and I noticed a crib

"Go on." Lord Eliphas said to me and I walked closer to the crib and saw a baby girl

"Lord Eliphas... This child..." I said

"Yes. This is Aoi, my daughter. She was born just a couple of days ago and my son Astral is very happy to have a little sister" Lord Eliphas said with a smile

"Why are you...?" I was about to ask then Lord Eliphas answered

"Because I want you to become my daughter's guardian" Lord Eliphas said

"Your... daughter's guardian...? Why me? I'm pretty sure there are more suitable knights to be your daughter's guardian than me" I said and I felt a hand on my shoulder

"Because, I believe you are most suited for the job. Will you accept the position" Lord Eliphas asked

"It'll be my honor. I vow to always protect and serve the princess" I said as I kneeled down

"Good and I believe you'll keep your word. For now, keep doing your job and make sure to keep an eye on my daughter" Lord Eliphas said as he left the room, leaving me alone with the princess

"Small princess, I promise to always protect you from danger and serve you when you need me" I said as I placed a kiss on her forehead and she smiled at me

'She smiled at me... It seems she also believe in me as well. I'll make you proud my princess' I thought to myself and I kneeled to the princess

After meeting the princess and making the vow, I've been doing my job as her guardian, keeping her safe and making sure she's happy. But... one day, the whole castle was in chaos, it seems like the princess is missing meaning someone kidnapped the princess and to me, it feels like I failed her as a guardian and I couldn't stop blaming myself for her sudden kidnapping.

Then one day, Lord Eliphas summoned me to the throne room

"You summoned me Lord Eliphas" I asked and Lord Eliphas turned around to look at me

"Yes. I want you to go to Earth" Lord Eliphas said

"Earth? Why there?" I asked

"Because I believe my daughter is there" Lord Eliphas said and that surprised me

"The princess is on Earth!? But how did she...!" I was shocked for words

"I know, I couldn't believe it either. I want you to look for her and protect her from the Barians at all costs" Lord Eliphas ordered and I nodded

"I won't let you down my Lord" I said as I start to prepare my journey to Earth to look for the princess

When I arrived on Earth, I looked everywhere for the princess but I couldn't find her. I was about to give up but I heard singing, I followed the singing and noticed a crowd of humans, by the river I saw her, the princess. I was happy to have finally found her, after seeing her, I made sure to keep an eye on her.

Flashback end~

After bumping into the princess, I sensed something terrible coming... something powerful

'No... Could it be someone from Barian world!? But who...? The only one who gives off this much energy, could only be Him!' I thought to myself 'Who ever it is, I'll make sure to keep the princess safe. I won't fail my duty as her guardian!'
