#Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle

GX WINNER ANNOUCNEMENT

It completely went over my head to make a winner announcement post, so even though this tourney has been over for some time now, here is an annoucnement of the winners!

Our two quarterfinalists, our bronze-medalists, are none other than Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle & Treeborn Frog! Ruby was not a surprise to me, as its one of the aces of fan-favorite Johan Andersen and overall is so cute & iconic, but I was still glad to see that little guy get so far! Treeborn Frog on the other hand WAS a surprise to me, as it was a card that I forgot about yet this little frog was able to get farther than many fan favorites. Good job you guys!

For our runner-up and silver medalist is none other than Rescue Cat! This OSHA-approved kitty got soooo much father than anyone thought, again beating many fan favorites, and even looked like they were going to beat our eventual winner for a while (and I mean it, there was a good chunk of time in the finals that Rescue Cat was beating the eventual winner & even I thought it might have won!) This is no small feat, considering how popular our eventual winner was, so don't take this cat lying down! Congrats Rescue Cat!

Finally, our winner was none other than WINGED KURIBOH!!!

IS IT ANY SURPRISE? Kuriboh was the winner of the DM tourney and Winged Kuriboh is such an iconic and classic monster. It is the MASCOT of GX, no context! Winged Kuriboh, we salute you!

Anyway, thank you for the great GX tourney! As you guys might have guessed with how how it took me to post rounds of GX tourney I have been losing interest in doing Yugioh monster tournaments. However, I do still want to do a 5Ds tourney, but that might be the last one. Submissions won't open for a while in any case, maybe a few weeks!

Just a little crossover art I did for fun awhile back. Kris (from Deltarune) meeting Johan/Jesse (from Yu-Gi-Oh GX) accompanied by Ruby Carbuncle. Johan/Jesse's Dark World design was created by me.

Okay show of hands who’s played skyward sword?

Spiritshipping Skyward Sword Au

Brief overview and spoilers

The game starts with Link and Zelda and childhood friends who are obviously in love.

Zelda falls from their home I. The sky to the world below and link goes to find her.

Zelda is rescued by Impa, a servant of the goddess, who shames link for being to slow to save her.

Later we come to find that Zelda is the goddess Hylia reborn and that she needs to travel back in time and seal herself away so that her divine power can keep the Desmond king at bay.

Link forges the master sword, defeats the demon king x2 and saves Zelda.

Okay so now that we are roughly on the same page how do we make this spiritshipping? There are two ways.

1st option: Jaden as the hero

Let’s be honest Jaden is always the hero. If we follow this path Jesse is taken and Jaden goes to find him and you get a story that’s very similar to cannon but with a new flavor.

Make the Crystal beast fill Impa’s role as guardian and protector to their god.

Jesse fills the role of the reincarnated god either Crystal Protector or the Rainbow dragon themselves.

Jaden and Jesse go to hang out and Jesse is take down to the surface below. Jaden follows later after getting his own guiding spirit. In the game it’s a sword spirit named Fi. Here you could make it Neo but maybe a lower level Neos like Neos Alius as he will grow into his power later in the story. Or you could make it Yubel, again unlocking new levels as the story moves forward. You could even make it winged Kuriboh if you wanted.

Jaden and his partner go to the surface to look for Jesse. The first temple they are two late and run into Trueman, the servant of the demon king darkness.

Again the story continues with Jaden looking for Jesse. You could swap dungeon items with the Neospaianis. Instead of getting digging mits in the second dungeon Jaden finds Neospacian grand mole.

By then end of the story Jaden has his team of hero’s and a fully powered up partner (be it Neos, Yubel, or Winged Kuriboh and is ready to save Jesse)

2nd option: Jesse as the hero.

I really like this option because it’s a fun twist in cannon.

The start is the same with Jaden and Jesse going out but this time it’s Jaden who is taken.

Jesse worried about his friend goes to give chase. But first he receives a gift from the god. Ruby Carbuncle. A creature who can help him search for Jaden and guide him on the right path.

The two head down to the surface meeting many strange characters and entering the first dungeon: Skyview temple. An underground labyrinth found in the woods that is filling with water. Here Jesse finds his second companion: Emerald Turtle. Creating shield and walkways for Jesse as he moves and fights through the dungeon. Jesse also encounters Trueman for the first time. Jaden is not here anymore, but he was here at some point.

The next place Ruby guides them to is Elden Volcano. Here they enter the Earth temple. A place full of Magma and find their third companion: Amber Mammoth. He’s able to use his size to ram into the walls knocking down pieces of the ceiling to make new walkways over the magma and to aid Jesse in combat by taming enemies. They find chains in the dungeon that have been broken and Trueman tells them he had Jaden but the servant of the king came and saved him before Jesse arrived.

After defeating Trueman’s monster Jesse runs to the back of the temple where he finds Jaden and Yubel. Jaden is excited to see him but Yubel stops their reunion and shames Jesse for taking so long. That if Yubel hadn’t been there Jaden would have been killed by Trueman. Yubel then opens a portal to take Jaden to the next place they need to go. Jaden follows because he knows he has a role to play. Even if he wants nothing more than to stay and reunite with Jesse.

The third place they go to is the Lanayru Mining Facility, found in the dessert. There are time stone here that allow you to switch between the present dessert and the past oasis. Here Jesse finds Cobalt Eagle. He has the ability to create gusts of wind that clear the area of sand/debris. He can also grab Jesse or Ruby and fly them up. Opening up new mobility options and combat options.

Jesse completes the dungeon and runs out just in time to catch up with Jaden and Yubel. Once again their reunion is interrupted by Trueman. He goes to attack Jaden but is stopped by Yubel. Trueman is able to push Yubel back but before he can attack either Yubel or Jaden Jesse jumps in. Asking if he’s late again? Teasing Yubel for their earlier harsh comments. Yubel grabs Jaden and the two flee to the past while Jesse holds back Trueman. Yubel blows up the gate behind them so neither Jesse nor Trueman can follow.

Jesse’s now at a loss for what to do next Jaden and Yubel are gone, and there is no way to follow them. Ruby guides him once again and he learns about a second time gate and sets off to find the missing pieces

The next dungeon is the Ancient Cistern. Based on the Buddhist story of the spider tread there is a heavenly side to this dungeon and an he’ll side of this dungeon. The vibes best fit Topaz Tiger. He definitely helps in combat and is big enough for Jesse to snag a ride either on the ground or in the water. Tigers are great swimmers and this dungeon has a lot of water.

The next place is the Sandship. Another place with time stones allowing the sandship to be a rundown ship in the middle of the desert or a battle ship floating in the middle of the ocean. The corridors are tight and are a great place to as Amethyst Cat to the party (I wanted to add her in the first three dungeons but use and theme wise she works best here) she defiantly helps with combat and sneaks up on enemies to get double damage. Her and Ruby work together to find hidden parts of the ship and get Jesse into them.

The final dungeon is the Fire Sanctuary. A place that fills up most of the crater of the volcano. It has giant gaps between locations and either has to be carefully traversed from the inside of flown over. Finally Sapphire Pegasus is here. Once again a big help in combat. But also opens up so much mobility. While Cobalt could fly Jesse for shot distances and blow enemies and debuts away, Sapphire is made for long hauls. Jesse can ride on his back indefinitely. Making traversing the dungeon and other areas easy. Paired with a bow and Jesse and Sapphire are a real problem as Sapphire keeps Jesse at a safe distance while Jesse can just pick off enemies.

Together the 7 beasts and Jesse are able to travel to the part and meet up with Jaden. Jaden tells Jesse what happened in the past. How the Supreme King kept the world in balance, using the power of the Gentle Darkness to keep the Light of Destruction and the Darkness at bay. But then the Darkness took human form as the Demon King, also just know as Darkness, and waged war against the Supreme King. The King was able to save the world but at the cost of not only his life but that of the Fabled Rainbow Dragon. Jaden is the Supreme King reincarnated and it is his job to hold Darkness back. The Supreme King gave his life to seal Darkness away and now Jaden must stay in the past to maintain the seal.

After telling Jesse the legend of the Supreme King, Rainbow Dragon and the Demon King. Jaden reveals that if he is playing the Role of the King he will need the help of Rainbow Dragon to defeat the Demon King. He asks Jesse to find/free/resurrect Rainbow Dragon. (This will take the place of the triforce quest)

With a tearful goodbye the two separate and Jesse and the Crystal Beast are off to find Rainbow Dragon.

So those are the two ways you could play this au. Obviously I have one way more thought out than the other.

Which one do you guys like?

The☆Arctic. A kingdom known for it's placement in the frigid tundra, where the lands were often aglow with snow or buried beneath it's layers. For within it's walls was a king with destructive power, kept within the walls like a safety net for everyone, a power so grand that it required him to be kept in pleasant times. Less the world suffer for even a bad mood. The king's name was unique, hard for other's to pronounce, yet he found oft not an issue with it, he'd tried his best to study their culture, to embrace it as best he could. King The☆Lugh? or was it just The☆Lugh? Once they would meet that mystery would be solved, if only he wasn't an hour late. The sun still high in the sky, his parents had insisted he take some of the Amethyst and Topaz division with him, to safeguard him on his journey as Ruby Carbuncle remained tucked within his cloak, to pass through unfamiliar terrain was easy for him with Sapphire Pegasus and Cobalt Eagle as his eyes, the rest of the crystal beasts taking up the rear behind him amongst the cavalry, the few Amethyst warriors that were near kept up well, until they had lagged a bit behind due to a raging blizzard, it had made navigation hard but there, in sight was the kingdom in full grandeur. He just prayed that this late appearance would not cause any trouble as slowly does he approach, his shield strung in front of Pegasus's chest, baring the symbol of Elyndor, a stark contrast of color against the snow, he can hardly hear the voices ahead as the storm continues to rage, albeit the closer they get the more it seems to settle.

Time Weaver - @gempantheon

"I-- I know! I know. But when everything was said and done, the Crimson Dragon still had one last duty for me to fulfill. My friends are waiting for me back in my time... In the future."

Her right hand clenched and unclenched nervously. She traced her once-fake Signer Mark. Once upon a time, she'd grown used to seeing it painted in blood. Now her skin was firmly sealed shut, as if it had never been injured.

Her Mark, an intricate hook with spines coming off of it, dubbed by her as the Mark of the Spine, was dormant for now. She hadn't needed the power of the Crimson Dragon just yet.

"...There were two events in this time that stood out to the Crimson Dragon as having been similar to my power: the Power of Creation."

Given that this directly concerned Johan, he had the right to know.

"One: the creation of the Neo-Spacians, and the awakening of a manipulator of Spirits. And two... The awakening of the Rainbow Dragon. I believe you mentioned it was the long-lost ace monster of the Crystal Beasts, correct?"

By now, the rest of the Weather Painters had revealed themselves to Johan. One by one, they floated behind her in rainbow order, though Wind had gotten distracted and started playing with Ruby Carbuncle, teasing it with her magical mechanical pencil.

"It was for this reason that we traveled to the past, you see, my boy," Sun went on. "We believe someone at this school may possess the same power our Wielder has. Either you... or Young Yuki."

"In the wrong hands, this power can be easily manipulated. It has been, in the past. Though in our future, such calamities were prevented, we wished to see how it was so with our own eyes."

"It was, after all, this power that allowed us to come to be." Cloud twirled his fountain pen and rested it on his shoulder, leaning back as if without a care. "If our Wielder can learn to control this power fully, we'll stand a chance at bringing forth the future our friends seek."

"Y-yeah! And it might help protect the Spirit World, too! W-we don't wish to mess anything up in the past or anything... It's just that we've been left with so few answers about this power as a whole. What happens if another threat comes by? We can't let them get their grubby hands on it!"

Sylvia nodded, then sighed.

"So, um... That's why we needed to be extra certain of... who and what we really are. If we just go about the rest of our lives burying our heads in the sand, just because we achieved our 'happily ever after', we won't be prepared in case of another, bigger threat. I let my guard down after the first 'happily ever after', and because of that, I was caught off guard when my friends got hurt. I couldn't help them in time. I won't make that same mistake twice."

"...Anyway, that's why I have a technically-illegal motorcycle on campus..."
