☆ STARS, SNORES & SAKE, feat. roronoa zoro — after a long day of celebrations, all zoro wants is to spend some quiet time with his lover.

contents. gender neutral reader. established relationship, fluff. use of y/n + pet names (zoro calls reader baby, you call him birthday boy). zoro birthday special! ♡ word count. 1.4k

notes. guess who’s back from the dead… that’s right it’s me! and just in time for zoro’s birthday too ♡ (watch me disappear after posting this) lowk zoro might be ooc but who cares i just want soft zoro maaaan. i haven’t written in so long but i really hope you guys enjoy! follows & reblogs are appreciated!

ZORO WAS EXHAUSTED. it had been seven in the morning when he’d been ambushed by the straw hats with party poppers and balloons as he was on his way towards the crow's nest for his daily morning workout. all day, he’d been surrounded by noise, confetti, and luffy gum-gum-rocketing into him every five minutes. now it was nine in the evening, and the crew was still partying the night away.

he didn't understand why they made such a big deal out of celebrating it, really. his birthday was never that important in the past, so why should it be now? but he supposed that everything was different here than in shimotsuki village, out on the grand line.

well, at least they had booze.

he picked up a new bottle of sake from the counter and made his way back over to the table, avoiding luffy and usopp chasing each other around the kitchen with chopsticks stuck up their noses. he’s surprised how they still had so much energy after devouring the feast that sanji had made for dinner. (actually, he was more surprised that the shitty cook spent so much effort on the food, considering it was him they were celebrating.)

he couldn't help but glance over at you, who was chatting with robin across the table. as he sat down, your eyes met his for a brief moment, and a silent conversation was exchanged between the two of you.

i'm tired of this. come with me?

give me just a little longer, 'kay? wanna finish this piece of cake.

he sighed and made himself comfortable in his chair, his eyes never leaving you. taking a few sips from his bottle, once glancing at nami across the table, who was staring at him.

what? he mouthed.

nothing, she mouthed back.

as soon as zoro saw you eat the last bite of your cake, he stood up and and was beside you at the table before you could even put the fork down.

“come to the deck with me.” he left the question mark out of his sentence; he knew you would come whether he asked you or not, anyway.

you giggled and pushed back out of your chair, taking his awaiting hand. “sure, birthday boy.”

“don’t call me that.” zoro grumbled at the name, but there was just a tiny hint of a smile on his face.

“oi, zoro! where are you and y/n going?” luffy asked, mouth half-full of meat.

“out for some quiet time,” the swordsman replied. “you guys are too noisy. you can have the rest of the cake if ya want, captain.”

luffy laughed in approval as zoro turned away, ignoring the cook’s grumble of “ungrateful marimo” as he made his way out the kitchen holding his bottle of sake in one hand and your intertwined fingers in the other.

the smell of sea salt was fresh on the breeze. gentle waves rocked against the hull of the ship, and the stars peeked out in the clear night sky.

“perfect weather for stargazing tonight, isn't it?” you asked him, the sound of your shoes clacking against the wooden deck of the sunny.

zoro nodded, finding a comfortable place to sit at the bow of the ship by the sunny's masthead. he patted the empty space next to him, which you gladly settled down into.

"finally, some peace and quiet," he sighed, arm instinctively curling around your waist. “i love the crew, but they’re noisy as hell.”

you nodded your head against his shoulder, listening to the sound of the waves. then suddenly you jumped up to your boyfriend's surprise with an "oh! i almost forgot." you turned and smiled mischievously at him. "wait here for a minute."

before he could answer, you were scurrying off towards your shared cabin. zoro exhaled, taking a swig from his bottle of alcohol. you were always like this, spontaneous in everything you did. he'd stopped asking you what you were up to a long time ago. most of the time it was just you surprising him with things, anyway. he figured it was probably the same this time too.

before you long you came back up to him, holding a paper gift bag with a green ribbon tied around the handles. "here," you smiled down at him, and he swore he was seeing the sun. "it's your present. it isn't much, but i hope you like it!"

"for me?" he took the bag tentatively as you sat back down next to him, wondering what it could possibly be. he wasn't one for gifts, really; but if it was from you it was sure to be something thoughtful. he started pulling things from inside the bag; there was a fancy bottle of sake; he was sure it had to have been expensive. and there was something else. a full-color drawing of himself, held in a wooden picture frame.

"when did you draw this?" zoro asked. he already knew it was you who made it; the art style was the same as the doodles you liked to draw of him for fun.

"a few days ago, when you were training," you replied. "i sat n' watched, remember? i was drawing the whole time. i tried to be sneaky about it, but i still think you noticed."

now that he thought about it, he had seen you sketching something in your notebook when he was training. he thought you were simply passing the time with him, but it was really for a different purpose.

"well, it looks just like me." he was impressed at the likeness of the drawing to himself; you'd captured his intense stare, the miniscule droplets of sweat rolling down his face. you'd even drawn the metallic sheen on his swords reflecting in the sunlight.

"are you sure you like it? it looks okay, right?" you asked him nervously. you had spent extra time afterwards making sure it looked just like him, and even more time perfecting the colors and shading.

zoro chuckled and leaned over to kiss your forehead. "more than okay, baby. it's beautiful. thank you." he pointed to the unopened bottle of sake. "and thanks for this too. i'm sure it must've been expensive."

you shook your head. "not really. i just borrowed a bit from robin, that's all."

he laughed. "at least ya didn't borrow from nami. that witch would probably be all up in your face to pay her back already."

"yeah, i guess." you leaned against his shoulder, and it was quiet for a while; just you, him, and the gentle lullaby of the ocean waves.

"i'm glad you like it, though." you whispered after a while. "i was worried…"

"the hell you'd have to be worried about?" zoro straightened up to look at you then. "you know i don't give a damn about what you get me, as long as it's from you. though… next year, i wouldn’t mind if you drew the two of us. so i can look at it when i miss you."

you blushed. "zoro, you see me almost every day." then suddenly, you laughed. "wait a minute, is the hard-as-steel swordsman of the strawhats being romantic?"

it was his turn to blush. "i don't know what the hell you're talking about, you idiot." he cleared his throat, then continued. "but really, y/n. don't worry so much 'bout these things, got it? you know i keep all your gifts, anyway."

“okay.” you kissed him under the pale moonlight, with just the moon and the stars to bear witness to it. his lips tasted like sea and sake and home. “happy birthday, ‘zo. i love you.”

“love you too, baby.”

you made yourself comfortable in the warmth of zoro's arms, gazing up at the bright stars above. before you knew it, the rocking of the ship and the soft lull of your boyfriend's chest was enough to send you drifting off to sleep.

zoro sighed contently, the sound of your soft snores peaceful in his ears. careful not to disturb you from your rest, he stood up. carrying you with one arm and holding your gifts to him in the other, he slowly walked back towards your room.

he was never one for birthdays, but you made them worth celebrating.

end notes. damn i haven’t written something this long since last year. it took me like a month to type 500 words and then i finished the other 900 yesterday… lowk dunno how i feel about how this turned out but i hope you guys liked!

beaumont univerisity , founded in 1808 in cambridge , massachusetts , has a reputation as one of the most prestigious schools in the united states . people travel from all over the world to attend beaumont since they know that having this school on their future resume will give them the upper hand when pursuing their careers after college . but no one goes to college just to study , right ? it’s to make friends as well … and maybe attend a few parties along the way . luckily , the school has three fraternities and three sororities on campus that have definitely made their mark around campus … whether it be good or bad . and lucky for you , rush week is just around the corner and now is your chance to see if those rumored parties that delta psi beta throws are just as legendary as they claim they are . but don’t worry , if that isn’t your scene , the people in sigma epsilon chi are there to give you a glimpse of what the lavish life is really like .

I can't believe I'm doing this lol...

I might throw up. I almost never post the stuff I write just for me. I'll occasionally send a funny chunk to a friend or whatever, but not open myself up to public scrutiny. I'm aware I've said all this before lol but bear with me, okay?

It's lazy writing (as is... literally all of my fanfiction XD) but I feel like it's coming out fairly decent for what it is, so I thought I'd share a little bit. If you hate it or aren't interested, just ignore it, 'kay? if for some reason you don't hate it, lmk. there's more

Pairing: Sebastian Stan/author (hey, can't say you weren't warned. yes, it's self-insert) Warnings: 18+. I will always mark my writing 18+ even if it never gets explicit. Adult themes, smut is mentioned (but no, not explicit), Seb does something dumb and OOC for him but it served my purpose so whatever XD

After arriving in Manhattan - and eventually finding a place to park; fuck, she hated New York! - she'd ducked into a Starbucks to collect herself and psych herself up a bit. Instead, she was psyching herself out. This was the dumbest, craziest idea she'd ever had, in a thirty-plus-year string of dumb and crazy ideas. This was never going to work. She was never even going to find him! There were millions of people crammed into this putrid petri dish of humanity. There was absolutely no chance she would-

For fuck's sake, was that really him?! Ever vigilant as a lone woman in unfamiliar surroundings, she'd taken a seat in the far corner of the shop, facing the front door. She wasn't looking for anyone in particular, not in here; she was simply making damn sure no one could come up behind her. Still, her position gave her a perfect view of most of the room, and especially the door. Her eyes widened as she watched a very familiar figure in a blue baseball cap enter and head for the counter.

As he neared, she got a clear look at his handsome face, and her heart felt like it suddenly stopped. Yep. That was him. Sebastian fucking Stan had just walked into this random-ass Starbucks she'd only come into to get out of the overwhelming bustle and noise of the city so she could think. She knew he lived somewhere in Manhattan, but wasn't Manhattan rather...large? It was certainly daunting to drive through; all of NYC was.

"Hey."

She flinched, blinking rapidly as she realized that not only had she been staring, but her eyes had dried out. "Hi."

Sebastian smiled, glanced around the busy shop, and asked somewhat tentatively, "Mind if I join you? Just til my coffee's ready."

Like she would say 'no' to anything this man asked of her! With a soft smile she hoped looked less nervous than she felt, she moved her bag off the other chair and gestured. "Of course. And you don't have to leave right away, unless you have somewhere to be. I don't bite." Jesus, that was smoother than she'd ever thought herself capable of! Where the fuck had that come from?!

His smile widened as he sat down, sharp blue eyes never leaving her face. She hoped she wasn't blushing. "Thanks. I don't actually have anywhere to be; I just got home."

"How was LA?" At his look of surprise, she flashed him a wry smile. "I can't just sit here and pretend not to know who you are. It feels creepy and manipulative."

Laughing and making her feel like her heart would burst with joy, Sebastian shrugged and nodded. "I appreciate that. And I really appreciate you treating me like a normal person."

"If you were a normal person," she teased, "I'd have told you to fuck off. I don't trust attractive men; they're usually narcissistic douche bags."

"I can't tell if you're calling me ugly or a douche bag."

She laughed, grateful for the playful glint in his eyes that showed her he wasn't actually offended. "Neither! I'm just saying, if I hadn't seen clips of you on youtube being all awkward and sweet, I'd be afraid to let you near me. You're way too gorgeous." With a wink that made him laugh, she added, "You're in your own separate category."

"So that's how you categorize all the men of the world?" He grinned, nudging her foot with his own. "Ugly, jerks, or awkward?"

"It's actually even more general than that. In my experience all humans are either ugly inside or ugly outside." Smile softening from mocking to a sort of wistful fondness, she told him, "From what you've shown the world, you're neither. Makes me wonder if you're even human sometimes."

"You caught me." Sebastian laughed again, joking even as he stood to get his coffee, "I'm an alien."

"So that's why you're so in love with space! Homesick?"

"Yeah, I guess so!" She loved how freely he laughed, and when he invited her to leave the crowded café and go for a walk with him, she readily agreed. "So what's your deep, dark secret?"

She blinked, staring at him. "What do you mean?"

His mischievous grin made her heart race and heat pool somewhere she didn't want to be thinking about with him standing right next to her. "You torture puppies, or are you an alien?"

He was calling her beautiful. The second she got the joke, she could feel her face turning bright red and she giggled, hastily looking away. "I definitely don't torture puppies."

"So you're an alien."

She could feel him looming over her as they both stopped and moved over to let other pedestrians move around them. Though she was afraid to, she forced herself to look up and was immediately entranced by those captivating blue eyes. "Maybe I'm a fairy."

"You're certainly pretty enough to be."

"Fucking hell, Sebastian, if you get any closer to me I will not be held responsible for what I do to you." She smirked, trying to lighten the mood and take the charge out of the air between them before she made too much of an ass out of herself. "Even with the coffee breath."

He laughed, but the tension didn't dissipate. If anything, the charge and the heat between them only increased. "Maybe you should put something else in my mouth, then."

Damn, this man could flirt! She accidentally knocked the hat off his head as she got a grip on that luscious dark hair and tugged him closer; he didn't seem to notice. He set his coffee down on a nearby window ledge. One hand cupping her jaw and the other grabbing her ass, he yanked her tight against him and thoroughly plundered her mouth with that long tongue she'd spent months fantasizing about. He did taste like coffee, which was a little off-putting - she'd bought a bottle of water in Starbucks; she hated coffee - but she didn't even care. The most perfect man in the universe was holding her tight and kissing her breathless, and she wasn't about to let anything ruin this moment.

Someone else ruined the moment when they cleared their throat. When she saw she had their attention, the fidgeting girl held Sebastian's cap out to him in a slightly shaking hand. "Sorry... Is this your hat?"

Finally realizing they were out in public in broad daylight, the pair sprang apart with awkward chuckles. Sebastian thanked the girl and crammed the fallen hat back onto his head, took a selfie with her when he realized she knew who he was, and sent her on her way. "That moment's gonna be all over the internet."

A nervous giggle bubbled up from her chest, somehow making it past where her pounding heart was lodged in her throat. "Hopefully just the selfie." His cynical scoff caught her off guard and she flinched, glancing around. "I hate that paparazzi shit. No one has any right to be taking pictures of you that you don't consent to and pose for, just like no one should be spreading details about you or your life that you didn't make public, yourself."

The look he gave her then was strange; almost as if he was calculating, or trying to read her. Unsure what that was all about, she simply looked right back at him, being as open as she could. Apparently reaching a decision, he told her softly, "I live like two blocks away."

That seemed random to her. She shrugged, offering him a slightly perplexed smile. "Okay...? That explains why you go to that Starbucks, I guess."

Sebastian laughed and hooked his arm around her waist, tugging her down the sidewalk. "You're adorable. And I'm trusting your adorable ass not to tell anyone."

...Oh. Eyes so wide they hurt, she stared up at him as he guided her down the street. He was taking her back to his place?! The more logical part of her brain was flabbergasted by the idea of this man just casually bringing a total stranger home, while the rest of her was just eager to get him behind closed doors and tear his clothes off. Obviously, the primitive, horny part of her brain won by a landslide, and she didn't say a word.

She noticed that Sebastian was chugging his iced coffee as they walked, and had to bite her lip to keep from laughing. He was going to have to pee so bad when they got to his apartment. Plus, she'd seen him hyped up on caffeine; it was hilarious.

"Make yourself comfortable," he told her as he closed the door behind them, already making a hasty beeline through the place. "I'll be right back."

Yup. She snickered as she settled on the edge of the couch. Straight to the bathroom. She tried not to fidget as she glanced around, but his apartment was just so sterile. Aside from the books on his desk, it didn't even look like anyone lived here, really. The blank white walls hurt her eyes and were starting to set off her anxiety; she dropped her gaze to the sofa and felt the tension ooze out of her muscles as her overactive brain took in the soothing dark gray color of it and slowly relaxed. At least he had a thing for dark furniture.

"You look so rigid all of a sudden."

She shrugged, glancing up at him. "I don't know what I'm doing here. I mean, I think I know why you brought me here, but..."

Oh gods, and there was that soft, kind smile she'd only ever seen in pictures. It, like the rest of him, was so much more beautiful in person. "Having second thoughts?"

More like first thoughts. "Aren't you? You don't know me; literally the only thing you know about me is that I know you're famous."

"And that you're a cynical introvert," he told her with a grin, settling on the couch beside her. "And that you're respectful of boundaries. That all seemed like a pretty good start to me. Hey-" He nudged her, making her smile. "Alien to fairy, I didn't bring you here to push you into anything. Pretty sure that would push me right into the douche bag category."

Giggling a little, she shook her head. "Nope. I'm too big a fan to ever think that about you. You can do no wrong in my eyes, alien."

"Hey, even aliens can make mistakes or do some fucked up shit. I mean, have you seen Independence Day?"

She laughed outright at that, poking his side. "Fair enough. But I somehow doubt that you're planning a genocide, so..."

"Nope." He shook his head, still grinning impishly. "No genocide on my calendar. Just hanging out with this beautiful, really cool fairy I met at a Starbucks today. Maybe satisfying her every carnal desire before she leaves, if she's up for it... Maybe just talking for a while or watching a movie. We'll see."

She could feel her face heating up again, but when Sebastian leaned in for a kiss, she eagerly let him. That was when it finally dawned on her that his mad dash for the bathroom had actually been to brush his teeth. He'd taken her coffee breath joke to heart and sucked his drink down so he could kiss her with minty fresh breath. Gods, he was so sweet it hurt!

That settled it in her mind; anxiety be damned. If he wanted it, there was no way this man wasn't getting laid. How many men would go this far out of their way to make a total stranger more comfortable when he shoved his tongue down her throat?

"What do you want," he whispered against her lips, stroking her hair, "my pretty red fairy?"

"All of it." She pulled him back with her as she stretched out on the couch, biting her lip when he automatically settled between her long legs. "Whatever you're willing to give."

"Tap out any time," he assured her as he reached under her dress, fingers dancing feather-light up her thigh. "I promise I won't be a dick about it."

"Same for you, gorgeous." With a slightly evil smirk, she rolled them over and straddled him, yanking her dress up and off. "I've been told I can be a little intense."

She squeaked before she could stop herself when he yanked her down with one strong hand on her back and drew a nipple into his mouth. She felt his tongue swirling against her flesh and shuddered, growing wetter by the second.

"I can handle it, princess." And then he was surging upright, and then to his feet, never releasing her from his grip. With her still clinging to him like a barnacle in nothing but her panties, he kissed her again and started heading toward the stairs. "But we're not fucking on my couch when there's a perfectly good bed right up there in the loft."

"Probably wise," she agreed with a giggle, tangling her fingers in his hair. "I'm already soaked. Wouldn't wanna ruin the infamous couch."

Sebastian groaned, but he was grinning. "Oh, don't bring him up now, girl!"

"Your couch is a dude?" She could tell he knew she was joking, but the glint in his eyes promised retribution if she didn't drop it... And then he dropped her like a sack of potatoes onto his bed, and she shrieked, startled.

From there, the day passed by in a blur. They cuddled and talked for hours, they paused once or twice for food, and, of course, they fucked like rabbits. She quickly learned that there was nothing Sebastian wasn't fucking amazing at. Typically, she was the quiet type in bed, but there were moments this talented bastard had her nearly screaming. The things this man could do with that tongue alone...!

But the moments she cherished were the quiet ones. When one or both of them needed a break and they would just lie there in each other's arms, and she could hear his pounding heart and knew he could feel hers. Once their breathing became less labored, they would begin to speak; voices low, as if afraid to shatter the silence and bring the outside world crashing down on them. They talked about everything and nothing, sharing past hurts never forgotten, and secret desires, dreams they were afraid to chase or simply knew were forever out of their reach. By the time night fell, she'd lost count of how many times one or both of them had broken and dissolved into tears in the other's embrace.

"You're so easy to talk to," he murmured once, the teary smile she couldn't see in the dark audible in his soft voice. "I know it's dumb, but I feel like I can trust you."

"You can," she was quick to assure him, kissing his jaw and loving the way his stubble rasped against her skin. "Nothing leaves this space, Sebastian. Anything you tell me stays right here. I promise."

He flinched then, as if suddenly remembering something, and nearly dislodged her. She settled herself more comfortably on his chest and waited. "You still haven't told me your name." They both laughed at that, and she felt a hot blush creeping up her face. Thank the gods it was dark. "I've just been calling you random pet names all day."

"Princess and Kitten were my favorites," she told him with a grin, licking his nipple. "But if you must know... My name is Ali."

"Ali." The way he said her name made her shiver, and then he was on her again and her last semi-coherent thought was holy shit, does this man ever run out of energy? Not that she was complaining.

In the end, they both fell asleep before she could even think about the long drive home ahead of her, much less the astronomical parking fee she'd be facing... or the reason she had actually come to New York in the first place.

Additional Information––––

ALCOHOL: never / sometimes / frequently / to excess.

RP Hooks––––

Etched in Blood and Ink: Chiaki was born into the Setsuri-kai criminal syndicate in Yanxia and committed countless crimes in their name over the course of twenty five years, including a few hits against high-profile targets. Their reputation as the Setsuri-kai's top enforcer has carried over into common knowledge, though only vague descriptions of their appearance exist. The irezumi covering Chiaki from neck to knees reflects their criminal background, spinning a sordid tale of violence and death for those who know what to look for. They typically keep most of their tattoos covered but... well, nobody's perfect a hundred percent of the time.

On the Lam: This ties into the first one: Chiaki is a criminal on the run, both from their past and those that would see them dead for it. The vengeful relative of someone they rubbed out, a bounty hunter looking to drag them to Othard for a heaping pile of koban, or another criminal who wants them dead for a breach of conduct - all and more might have a reason to want Chiaki’s head on a pike. Talk with me and we can work something out!

The Professional: Since escaping to Eorzea, Chiaki has made a living as a mercenary, exchanging their skill at arms for the gil necessary to keep a roof over their head and food on their table. Despite their best attempts to keep a low profile, Chiaki is starting to develop a reputation for their professionalism - and the brutal efficiency with which they carry out their missions. Need something dead? Chiaki can get it done. Looking for a bodyguard? Chiaki’s got your back. Too lazy to pick your own flowers? Don’t worry - no task is too small if it pays the bills.

The Little Mountain: Chiaki possesses strength far beyond that of a normal person, courtesy of a powerful and uniquely-manifested attunement to earth aether. While carrying out more mundane tasks, its not uncommon to find them lifting and carrying heavy loads by themself (though more unwieldy containers still require assistance!). Witnessing such a sight might pique someone's curiosity.

OOC Information––––

Server: Balmung

Contact Info: Chiaki Tensen ingame, ElectricSeagullColony#6693 on Discord. Please check out my Carrd as well!

Preferred RP Platform: Ingame, but willing to use Discord.

Roleplay Style: I generally keep to small posts (one paragraph at most) in busy public spaces (such as the Quicksand) but I'm open to longer, more indepth descriptions when the situation warrants.

Preferred Narratives: Honestly I’m just about willing to play out any sort of narrative, but I do have a few preferences. Adventure-flavored stuff is dope and something I would like to do more of, as well as combat-oriented roleplay. I generally prefer not to use /random when doing a combat scene (especially vs. non-player characters), but I understand why people like/prefer it and I'm not adverse to using it. Relationship roleplay is fine if that's where the story takes us, but I'm not going out of my way to seek it. Despite Chiaki’s background, I am not seeking out criminal/yakuza-themed roleplay, though more “morally grey” stuff is just fine. Typically I like to plan scenes out, but not particularly in-depth, just enough to generally establish what's going to happen and then we can take it from there.

Themes: I'm open to mature themes, such as graphic violence, foul language, drug use, etc., as mentioned above. In the very unlikely case that a scene starts to grow uncomfortable for me, I'm not afraid to vocalize it to whoever I'm roleplaying with. That said, potential roleplay friends, if there are things that do disturb you please let me know ahead of time so I don't inadvertantly make you uncomfortable! Roleplay is here to be fun and the last thing I want to do is ruin someone else's good time by being a bit overly-descriptive with violence, for example.

Miscellaneous: Headcanon and lore-bending friendly, if that wasn’t entirely obvious! If I enjoy RPing with you I’m definitely willing to go with whatever you’ve got going on, so long as it doesn’t explicitly fly in the face of what the game has established. Basically - if the game hasn’t provided a hard no on something, I’m generally willing to say yes. I will not engage people roleplaying canon characters - if that’s what you wanna do, go right ahead, but I’m not game. Finally, if you have any questions/want to know more - ask! I’m probably pretty friendly. Thanks for reading!

(OUTDATED) Episode 1 - It’s Electric!

A/N: Wassup, everybody. I haven't written anything in awhile so of course it's gonna be bad. It probably would have been even if I posted my last chapter yesterday, but whatever. Anyways, hope you enjoy! Here are a few warnings:

1) This series will be AMERICANIZED! The names will be all from the 4Kids/4K Media dub and will take place in an American state of my choice: New Jersey. Don't like it, then don't read.

2) This story will feature Yaoi/Slash/Shonen-ai/MalexMale/etc. Don't like it, then don't read. I might even feature Yuri, but for right now, it's just Yaoi.

3) Characters WILL be OOC. This is meant to be a re-imagining of Yu-Gi-Oh! not a direct interpretation and there will be OCs. Don't like that, then don't read.

Rated: T (for violence, language, and some minor suggestive themes)

Words: 4,047

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the late hours of the night in Domino City. Some of the residents were asleep while others were out and about for work or fun. Two particular men were busy robbing a closed jewelry store, quickly pacing to their vehicle before the police arrived

Before they could start the engine, a large black creature landed in front of the car, pushing its claws down on the front bumper. The criminals exited the vehicle and immediately began shooting at their obstacle. The figure deflected the bullets off its body and then let out a monstrous roar, startling them. They decided to ditch their getaway car and started to run, but the eerie shape pounced on them, putting an end to their clean escape.

A few minutes later, the police came and by that time, other people bared witness to what had just occurred. The officers abandoned their vehicles and saw the two robbers tied back-to-back against a street lamp with a black rope and the bag of jewels by their sides. Next to them was the Greek letter Omega burned into the side of the road. Seemingly knowing how it got there, one police officer looked up and saw two bright red eyes beaming at him from the rooftop before they suddenly disappeared.

CRISIS OF THE ELEMENTS - IT'S ELECTRIC!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, a young girl with blond bangs and long black hair with pink streaks and magenta eyes walked up to a group of two boys.

"Hey, Joey, did you hear about what happened last night?" The girl held up her cell phone which had a news article opened, titled Vengeance Strikes Again?

"Why do they call that thing Vengeance anyway?" The blonde teen known as Joey asked, looking at the photos of the tied up robbers and the Greek letter Omega branded into the road.

"I think it all started with the first string of criminal acts." Another boy with a similar hairstyle to the girl's said, "One of the criminals said she called herself Vengeance."

"Yugi, I don't think it's a chick. It's obviously a robot or some crap like that, that some lonely nerd made to play hero." Joey muttered with a shrug, "What do you think, Kaya?"

"Could still be considered a female, from the low res pictures and videos I've seen, it appears to have large breasts." The girl, Kaya, revealed.

"Heh, even more of a reason to believe it was built by a lonely nerd." Joey snickered. Yugi and Kaya rolled their eyes.

Just then, three brunettes passed them.

"Hey, Crystal, Halle, have you two seen Tristan?" Joey questioned two of them.

"Sorry Joe." Crystal, the girl with brown hair and brown eyes, said.

"We separate when we enter the school." Halle, her sister with black hair and hazel eyes, declared.

The third girl with a mixture of brown and blond hair with brown eyes was Joey's younger sister, Selena.

"Bye, boys, bye Kaya," the three said in unison as they left. "I swear those girls brainwashed my sister." Joey affirmed as he watched them leave.

"They're nice though." Kaya said, "Right, Yugi?" No answer, "Yugi?" Kaya and Joey turned to him and noticed his violet eyes fixed on a girl by a locker four doors down from them. She had shoulder-length, light brown hair that covered the right side of her face. She wore a long-sleeved shirt and a glove on her right hand.

"I wonder who she is." Kaya said.

"I've never seen her before." Yugi finally disclosed, still staring at her as she placed books in the locker.

"Hey, Joey, would you hit that?" A voice said, snapping Yugi out of his thoughts. The voice belonged to a young man with pointy brown hair and brown eyes who had his arms around Joey's shoulders.

"Ew no way, T," The blonde pulled the newcomer off him.

The mystery girl took one look at Yugi and his friends and then walked away with her books clutched tightly against her chest.

"There you are, Tristan." Kaya spoke, "Where were you?"

"I had to finish my Geometry test from yesterday." Tristan said.

"Nerd," scoffed Joey.

"Is that the word of the week with you?" Kaya wondered.

Before Joey could reply, "Come on, guys, we have class." Yugi interrupted, looking at his phone.

The four friends went on their way to their first class. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a remote volcano located on an island far from Domino City, two mysterious figures were hidden in the shadows.

"Stan, where are the Elemental Crystals our father has tasked us with collecting?" A person asked in a feminine voice.

"Raven, dear, we have been searching for a good year now. They have to turn up sooner or later." Stan said by Raven's side.

Lightning struck the volcano and a dark-skinned man stood before them.

"Jackson Fierce, what brings you here?" Stan interrogated.

"It's Sparkman and I have news. The Dark Crystal has been located in Domino City, New Jersey." Jackson responded.

"Father told us about that place." Raven said.

"Yes, it is where he was born." Stan added.

"But there's more, the one who poses a threat to our cause is also there." Jackson implied.

"Our father's enemy," said Raven, "Jackson, you should be strong enough to take him and anyone that gets in our way down, so go!"

"I will, Ms. Burst Lady." Jackson bowed, "And it's Sparkman!" He disappeared in a bolt of lightning.

"Do you think he'll return with the crystal?" Raven asked.

Stan chuckled, "No." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later, the high school students left the building. Yugi and his sister, Kaya, headed for the bus. On their way, Joey's sister, Selena, walked up to them.

"Yo, Kay, can we talk for a sec?" She requested.

"Sure," Kaya turned to her brother, "Yuge, can you save me a seat?"

"Yeah, just hurry up." Yugi entered the bus.

As Kaya and Selena talked, a furry, brown ball crawled out from under the bus and wiggled its way into Kaya's slightly opened backpack.

"Yeah I know. Australians are hot." Selena clarified.

"I better get going. Bye, Selena." Kaya waved to her best friend and then finally made her way onto the bus.

Yugi looked at her from the window seat when she sat down, "What did you two talk about?"

"Oh, you know, boys." Kaya giggled.

"Of course," Yugi slumped in his seat. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the bus took off, Kaya noticed a familiar face on the other side of the bus in their row.

"Yugi, look," She whispered.

Yugi turned his head in the direction she was looking and saw the lone brunette from earlier. She was sitting by herself playing with a black hexagon-shaped pendant between her fingers. The right side of her face was still hidden by her bangs.

"I guess she takes the bus." Yugi said.

"Have you seen her on here before?" Kaya asked.

"No," Yugi sat back in his chair.

"Hey, when the bus stops, you should talk to her."

"What? Why me?"

"'Cause you're the nicer one," Kaya replied.

"You're more popular." Yugi said, sliding down slowly in his seat. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The bus stopped a few blocks from Yugi and Kaya's house which doubled as a game shop. Yugi and Kaya were the second to last students to exit the bus. Behind them, was the lonesome brunette who briskly passed them and walked the opposite way.

"Maybe we can talk to her tomorrow. Come on." Kaya and her brother walked to their home. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The shop was still opened when the teenagers returned, but there were currently no customers at the Turtle Game Shop. When they arrived, an elderly man behind the counter greeted them.

"Hi, Grandpa," Kaya waved as she and Yugi entered the house area.

"Oh, Kaya, it's your turn to take over the shop." Their grandpa insisted. "Right, uh, let me just change first." Kaya and Yugi hurried upstairs to their rooms. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kaya went into her room and tossed her backpack on the bed. It let out a disgruntled cry that startled her for a moment.

"What was that?" Kaya beckoned as she then went over to her closet to gather her casual clothes.

After putting on a baby blue sweatshirt and jeans, she turned around and covered her mouth when a gasp escaped her lips. The brown fur ball was rubbing the top of its head with its tiny green claws.

"What on Earth are you?" She huskily whispered as she walked to her bed.

It looked up at her and cooed, "Bo, bo."

Kaya looked at her door and then back at the critter, "I knew I should have closed my bag all the way." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In his room, Yugi sat at his desk doing homework. He suddenly paused for a moment and glanced at a small, golden box on his desktop with the Eye of Wdjat etched on the front. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the sun set and the city grew dark, it was quickly lit up by the street lights and more. Dark clouds appeared to go unnoticed as Jackson Fierce emerged in a flash.

"This feels like the spot where the Dark Crystal is located." He peered out across town and saw all the vehicles and civilians traverse the busy streets and sidewalks, "Alright, humans, it's time to fear the Elements!" Jackson said as a golden suit with wings, a helmet, and blue markings surrounding the armor covered his body.

He then held out both of his hands at either side and unleashed a series of electrical surges throughout the city, causing a citywide blackout and a mass panic. Dozens of people screamed and became scared. Those that were driving slowly slowed down their vehicles to a halt, while the faster drivers lost control and crashed into whatever was near them whether it was a wall, pole, tree, or an unlucky pedestrian that reacted late to the blackout.

Jackson marveled at the hysteria he caused and bolted over to the top of a gas station by a convenience store.

"The crystal's energy is strongest here." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the closed Turtle Game Shop, Yugi activated the flashlight application on his phone, "What happened." He looked out the window and noticed the blackout expanded throughout the city.

"Yugi!" Kaya cried from the living room. Yugi hurried down the stairs where his grandfather and sister stood in the center of the room with Kaya holding her own cell phone as a light.

"What's going on? Are you guys OK?" He asked with worry.

"What could have caused this?" Kaya begged with fear in her voice.

"Don't worry. We'll be safe if we just stay here." Yugi deduced. There was suddenly a knock on the door. All three let out a yelp and dropped their phones as Kaya and her grandfather huddled behind Yugi.

"Why is everyone hiding behind me?"

"You're the bravest Moto, Yugi." Kaya said. Grandpa nodded in agreement. Yugi and Kaya picked up their cell phones and held them up as they inched closer to the shop all still close together.

"W-Who's there?" Yugi asked, loudly.

"Guys, it's me, Joey Wheeler." Joey shined his own light through the window on the door.

"Joey!" Yugi and Kaya rushed to answer the door and then quickly shut it when their friend entered.

"Are you all OK?" Joey asked.

"Yeah, we're fine. How did you get here?" Kaya wondered.

"I was on my way here to hang out. When I parked my car, that's when this mess started." Joey stated.

"Are you hurt?" Yugi asked.

"Nope," Joey smiled, "But I did wanna show you this." He went to a saved news alert on his phone and it showed a hard to make out figure on a building.

"People are saying it appeared after a single lightning strike." Joey said.

"You think it has something to do with this blackout?" Yugi concurred.

"Worse, I think it caused it." Joey proclaimed, "Think about it, what if it's a real-life super villain?" He asked, growing excited.

"Joey, this is serious." Yugi groaned, "Where was it last seen?"

"Let's see." Joey looked back online.

"Well, it's a good thing the blackout isn't affecting the phone companies." Kaya said.

"That's weird." Yugi thought.

"Blackout in Domino…people injured…Yadda, Yadda; Yadda…Downtown only affected…bla, bla, bla…"

"Wait, did he say 'just downtown'?" Kaya rephrased.

"Oh, here we are, mysterious gold person spotted at a nearby Circle K gas station." Joey professed.

"If that thing can cause blackouts, then it's even more dangerous at a gas station." Kaya said.

"Joey, which Circle K?" Yugi asked, abruptly.

"Uh, the one on Thompson and Weidenbaum Street," Joey looked at him, "Why?"

"That's where our mom works." Yugi looked at him with wide eyes.

"What does that thing want?" Kaya panicked, voice breaking slightly.

"Kaya, Grandpa, I'm going to get Mom and bring her home." Yugi murmured, still looking at Joey.

"Don't be an idiot, Yuge." Joey said.

"I'm coming too, then." Kaya added.

"No, none of you are going?" Their grandfather said.

"Grandpa, we lost Dad because I couldn't save him. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you two or mom." Yugi concluded, lowering his head and still refusing to look at his family.

"What if we lose you?" Kaya asked, grabbing his arm.

Yugi turned slowly and smiled at her, "You won't." He then pulled away and quickly left the store.

"Yugi!" Grandpa yelled, angrily, "If that boy lives, he is so grounded." His face suddenly softened, "Please come home, my boy."

"Don't worry, Mr. Moto, I got his back." Joey followed suit.

"They're nuts." Kaya said to herself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the streets, Yugi ran toward the convenience store where his mother worked. Joey ran up next to him.

"Wassup, Yuge?" He enjoined as they continued to run.

"What the hell are you doing, Joey?" Yugi asked.

"Not letting you play idiot hero alone."

"You're supposed to be looking after Kaya and Grandpa."

"Hey, don't worry about them. They're safe inside. It's you that I'm worried about."

Yugi shook his head, not knowing how to reply to him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two finally made it to the store and the streets and pavement were blocked off by police.

"Man, I knew cops would block our way." Joey remarked, snapping his finger.

"Look," Yugi pointed at Jackson on the roof of the gas station.

"If they shoot that thing, they might make this whole area go boom." Joey said.

"No kidding," Yugi agreed, looking toward the store, "You have to distract them while I go inside."

"What? I don't need a criminal record." Joey defended.

"Then why are you here if you're not going to help me?" Yugi rebutted.

Joey sighed, "Fine, fine."

He made his way toward the barricade as Yugi followed behind him for a couple steps until he made it to an opening to get behind the store.

"I wouldn't shoot me if I were you pathetic officers. You might miss and hit the gas tanks." Jackson laughed.

"He's taunting us. I know I'm a good shot." An officer said, aiming his gun.

"Josh, he's wearing armor. What if it deflects the bullets?" A second one counterclaimed.

"'Sup?" Joey greeted from behind them.

"What the hell?" The first cop asked as the others turned around, aiming their weapons at him.

"Whoa! Take it easy, coppers. I'm just your friendly neighborhood Joey Wheeler." He chuckled nervously, holding up his hands.

"Kid, this isn't a joke; now get out of the way." The second cop told him.

"Oh, perfect," Jackson raised his wings and flew down directly in front of them.

"Ah, Birdman!" Joey cowered behind Josh the police officer.

"Birdman? No, I'm Sparkman. Now, who wants to be the first to die?" Jackson asked, electricity hissing from his hands. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Yugi managed to sneak inside the store.

"Hello?" He called out, holding up his phone.

"Who's there?" A female employee examined with her own light.

Yugi followed the light and found four workers including a woman with short red hair and brown eyes.

"Yugi?" The woman asked in shock.

"Mom!" Yugi ran into his mother's arms, hugging her tightly and dropping his phone again.

"Lyra, what is your son doing here?" An older teen with brown, long spiky hair wondered.

Yugi turned to her. "I've come to save you guys."

"Is he for real?" A male employee asked.

"Yeah, Joey and I…" He suddenly remembered, "Joey!" Yugi grabbed his phone and headed for a door.

"Yugi!" His mother cried behind him.

"I knew we should have locked those doors." The brunette worker disclosed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yugi made it outside and noticed the cops and Joey hiding behind the police car with Jackson floating over them.

"Joey!" Yugi's cry echoed throughout the area.

"Not another one," said Officer Josh.

"Hey, that's my pal." Joey argued.

"Are you both crazy?"

"Nope, it was all his idea." Joey laughed.

Jackson turned to Yugi, "And what do you want, spiky?"

"Whatever it is you want, you can't have it, so leave now!" Yugi hollered, glaring at him.

"Oh, is that right?" Jackson held up his crackling hand.

Yugi swallowed hard, "Y-Yes."

"You're just a wannabe hero." Jackson shot a lightning bolt at Yugi.

"Yuge!" Joey cried out.

Yugi closed his eyes, preparing for the worst. When he opened them, he noticed a large wolf with dragon wings in front of him, leering at Jackson.

"You're…" Yugi tried to get out.

The massive beast turned its head at him, "Vengeance." It said in a low, feminine voice.

"Yeah, it's the real life superhero!" Joey cheered.

"So, you're the one that was created by the enemy of our father." Jackson clarified, "It'll be nice to kill you and obtain the Dark Crystal."

"Dark Crystal?" Yugi questioned.

"The Dark Crystal is one of ten Elemental Crystals that will increase the power of a hybrid like me." Jackson said.

"Hybrid?" Joey asked.

"I was made from the DNA of a human and a cuckoo bird."

"What the hell is he talking about?" Josh queried.

"He's cuckoo alright?" Joey joked.

Jackson shot an energy blast in Joey's direction, but Vengeance jumped in front him and quickly absorbed it.

"She's fast." Yugi mentioned.

"Why do you protect these fools? With your power, you can be on our side and once and for all become the master race over humans." Jackson said.

"I will never join the side of evil." Vengeance growled and pounced on top of Jackson, biting down on his battle armor.

"You giant bitch!" Jackson thrust the beast of him and zapped her in the chest, knocking her back into the ground.

Jackson shuffled backwards seemingly malfunctioning from his last attack as Vengeance's saliva dripped down his body.

"Water," Yugi noted to himself. "That's it!" He ran back into the store.

"Oh, it's it alright." Jackson said as he prepared for another attack aiming at the gas station.

"I think we all should evacuate the area." Josh announced. "If the gas station explodes, it could take out the entire street, even more."

Joey looked at the store, "C'mon Yuge." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yugi hurried to his mom and the others still in the corner.

"He's back." The brunette said.

"What is it, Yugi?" Lyra asked.

"Mom, I need some water bottles." Yugi said.

"For what?" Lyra questioned.

"We can't give any to him. We might need them if the power never goes back on." The male worker said.

"Trust me; I think it might help stop that thing." Yugi stressed.

"What thing?" The female supervisor asked.

"There's apparently a super villain with electrokinesis outside." The brunette affirmed.

"Are you serious?"

"They're on the first shelf by the checkout." The brunette then said.

"Thanks, Valerie." Yugi picked up four water bottles and hurried outside."

"So, you're saying there's a dude outside with magical powers?" The boss prided.

"No," Valerie articulated matter-of-factly, "I'm saying there's a dude with electrical powers outside."

"Oh boy," The supervisor placed her head in her hands. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Outside, Jackson charged enough energy to attack.

"Time to die," Jackson said.

"It's too late to tell everyone around here to leave." A third cop declared.

"With all the cars surrounding us, it might take out more than just the street." Josh said.

Vengeance opened her eyes and struggled to stand.

"Hey, Sparky!" Yugi called. Jackson turned to face him, "It's bath time!"

"Killer one-liner," Joey noted as the officers continued to watch.

"How about you be the first to die?" Jackson moved his arms just as Yugi ran and tossed the bottles at Jackson. The conduction combined with the added-up energy forced Yugi to the ground unconscious as Jackson began to short-circuit, "Damnit, I was so close!"

"Maybe if you would have just killed us instead of stalling, you would have won." Joey taunted.

"Shut-up!" The DCPD yelled at him.

"What?"

"Your pathetic city is spared for now but I'll be back!" He exclaimed, leaving in a bolt of lightning.

"He's gone." Josh said.

"Yugi did it!" Joey voiced.

Everyone was relieved when the power suddenly returned.

"Oh-no!" Joey ran up to Yugi, "Yuge, are you OK? Speak to me, pal." He knelt down and held his friend up over his lap.

Soon, people started appearing from their homes or cars to see what caused the commotion. Lyra and the others exited the store.

"Yugi!" Lyra ran up to Joey holding up her son, "What happened?"

"He's not breathing." Joey tried to feel for a pulse. The cops surrounded them.

"Not my son," Lyra sobbed. Valerie placed a tender hand on her shoulder.

Joey then began to perform CPR as tears formed in his eyes, "You're not leaving me, pal!" After a few chest compressions, Joey pinched Yugi's nose and breathed into his mouth before resuming compressions. He repeated the process for a good few minutes as he sight grew foggier from built-up tears.

"Stop," Vengeance said.

Joey did what he was told and stared at best friend's lifeless body. He then pulled Yugi close to him and let out an incoherent cry as a cascade fell from his eyes.

"Lay him down." Vengeance finally said.

"What?" Joey solemnly looked up at her.

"I said, 'Lay him down'."

Joey once again did as he was ordered. Vengeance loomed over him and examined his frame.

"I can't let a hero die." She whispered before slowly licking his face once,

"You're still warm, so it's not too late ."

After a few seconds of people staring in awe and hope, Yugi suddenly gasped for air, pushing himself to sit up.

"Yugi!" Joey hugged him tightly.

"How did you do that?" Josh asked.

Vengeance smirked, "Everybody gets one."

"What happened?" Yugi rasped in between breaths.

"Doesn't matter, you're OK." Joey said, letting go and wiping away the moisture from his face.

"My baby!" Lyra pushed Joey out of the way and held Yugi herself, planting kisses on his face.

"Mom, there are people watching and they have their phones." Yugi groaned. He then looked at Vengeance and quickly noticed a black hexagon-shaped pendant fall from its hiding spot under her fur.

"Now that Sparkman is gone, I must go." Vengeance shook out her fur, "But fear not, for Sparkman will be back and so will I."

"And we'll be ready." Joey made a fist and smiled at Vengeance before she howled and then flew off over the Circle K building. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the game shop,

"You sure you should be walking, Yuge?" Joey interrogated.

Yugi looked into the window and saw his family in a group hug, "Yeah, I think I'll be fine, Joey."

"Aw, I love you, man." Joey hugged him tightly, "And I totally mean that way if you want."

Yugi laughed, "I'm flattered, but you know I'm not gay."

They pulled away and both smiled.

"I love you too, Joey." Yugi said with a bright smile.

"Goodnight pal. Glad to have you back." Joey chucked with a blush and then ran off to his car, waving 'goodbye'.

Yugi thought for a moment, "What does that mean?"

"Yugi," Kaya opened the front door, "It's time for bed."

"Alright, I'm coming." Yugi interlocked his arm with his sister's as they both returned home with their family. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CRISIS OF THE ELEMENTS - AFTER CREDITS

Yugi was in his pajamas ready for bed when he once again looked over at the golden box on his desk. He slowly walked over to it. When the lid was carefully removed, Yugi admired what was inside as his room illuminated with a golden light.

To be continued... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next time on CRISIS OF THE ELEMENTS:

Joey: [at school] If there are more of these 'Elements', then we need to figure out how to take them down once and for all before they find those 10 crystals.

[A man made out of gravel breaks out of the ground just outside of Domino]

Yugi: [at school] I died, Joey, then how is possible that I'm here?

[Yugi walks up to the girl with brown hair and the black pendant]

Yugi: [before the girl] Are you Vengeance?

[The girl frowns and looks down]

[The rock humanoid swings at Joey and then hovers him as he prepares to punch him in the face, assuming to kill him but a diamond white dragon grabs the man by the arms as Yugi and Vengeance arrive and gasp in shock]

Joey (V.O.): [as the dragon and clay man stare each other down] Where are these dragon superheroes coming from?

CRISIS OF THE ELEMENTS

A/N: Well I hope you enjoyed. Many questions will be answered in the coming chapters like: Who is the mystery girl with brown hair and black pendent? Is she Vengeance? How? How did she save Yugi's life? Will it have side effects? Probably. Don't worry, if you're wondering where Serenity Wheeler is? She wasn't replaced with an OC and she'll appear in a later chapter. Is that "Bo, Bo" creature Kuriboh? and what is its purpose? That and more will also be answered soon. Lastly, all of those characters you thought might be one-off episodic characters (Officer Josh and Valerie and more). If they have names, they will become important later. Bye bye!
