I got bored and decided to start writing this story. I'm probably going to change the way some characters look (because I apparently have some way of doing that in nearly every story I write) but I feel like this story could be fun to write.

Basically magic and monsters exist near people, and though it's set in the basic world of 5D's with the (sort of) same storyline as the series it's kind of an AU as well.

Chapter One: The White Haired Girl

Yusei slid out from under the motorcycle he had been working on and sat up, wiping away the sweat and grime from sitting under it for several hours. He liked helping people, and he was good at working with the mechanical parts he did. He was rather handy when it game to things that needed to be fixing, and people came to look for his help all the time. He stood and let out a sigh as he walked to the front of the plain white Police bike and started it. The loud roar of the engine soon told him that he had successfully fixed it.

The owner of the bike, a tall man with wide shoulders, short blonde hair and dark green eyes came in, smiling at him. His uniform definitely belonged to the Police of the Satellite district, but it was slightly unbuttoned since it was so hot outside. Yusei usually wore a long jacket and gloves, but today he just had on his boots and pants, and the black tank top he had set back when it was too hot to work with his jacket and gloves on.

The officer smiled at him, though the young woman who followed close behind didn't. She had long black hair that was pulled back into a pony tail and distrustful amber eyes. Her uniform was buttoned completely up though it was hot outside. Yusei was also careful not to look too long at her. She didn't seem to like him, and she wouldn't tolerate that. He hardly glanced at her.

The woman's eyes never left the young man. He was sixteen and about average height for his age. He was thin but had some muscle on him, evident from his long hours spent fixing various things and lifting the heavy equipment. His hair was black and shaped oddly into something that resembled a crab, with yellow streaks running through it. His eyes were blue, and though they were kind they were hardened. Growing up in the Satellite wasn't easy on anyone, and he was no exception.

"Fixed it up?" the man, a familiar officer in the Satellite named Liam, asked. "It hasn't been running right the last few weeks. I knew you'd be able to fix it. People say you can fix anything."

"Maybe not anything," Yusei replied, giving him a slight smile. This only seemed to aggravate the woman, a girl only a little older than him and called Theresa.

"I don't get why you're so kind to this kid," Theresa said, crossing her arms. "This is the Satellite. You can't trust anyone around here."

Yusei elected to ignore her as he walked over to the table where he kept all of his tools to put down the ones that he had been holding in his hand and tool belt. He then unfastened it and put it down on the table as well. He began to try and wipe away a little of the grime and grease from his hands. Liam turned to Theresa now and started whispering to her. Yusei could clearly hear it, but pretended he couldn't for their sakes.

"Leave the kid alone Theresa," Liam said quietly. "He's been through hell. You see what it's like here. It's not exactly the nicest place to live."

"Exactly why we can't trust him," she growled quietly as well. "This place isn't safe." Liam sighed at little and shook his head.

"Yusei's got powerful magic," he said. "In fact, he's part of the reason the Satellite is as safe as it is now. He helped us out big time."

Yusei put the towel down and glanced at a picture frame on the back of the table. There were four people in it, his old friends. How long had it been since they had seen each other? They'd certainly went their separate ways, and some farther than others. The shortest in the picture was a boy named Crow, with orange hair pulled up behind a blue bandana and green eyes, though he didn't have the marks on his face from the jailors. Beside him was Yusei, and behind him were the two taller members, Jack and Kiryu.

Jack was the tallest, and about a year older than Yusei though the others were the same age. Jack was tall and already well muscled in this picture, though he had paler skin like Kiryu and Crow. Yusei had darker skin than all of them, though not much darker. Jack had blonde hair spiked up in the back almost like a crown and blue eyes. Then there was Kiryu, who had light hair, light purple color in this picture, and he had brown eyes.

They had been what was known as Team Satisfaction. They had banded together because they had all been raised together, and you had to learn to trust your friends. Besides, they all had powerful magic, which was a staple in this world. They had decided to make the Satellite a better place to live for everyone, since it seemed like the City had abandoned them. So together they had destroyed the gangs and criminal factions in Satellite.

The Police could handle things from there, and though it was much more peaceful here now, Yusei felt it was a bitter sweet victory. They had made the Satellite better for everyone, but they had lost a great friend. Kiryu, who had been their leader, had suddenly started acting strangely, and not even his partner could get him to calm down. Kiryu had tried to get them to attack the Police as well, saying they were obstacles to them. Besides being suicidal, it was also wrong. The Police wanted peace as well, because they warmed up to the people of the Satellite eventually.

Yusei had no choice but to turn him in, and he really wasn't happy about it. But he couldn't understand why his friend had changed so much. Yusei paused a moment, realizing that Liam was now telling the same story, more or less, to Theresa. The boy sighed and looked out the window, watching as children played in the streets outside with their Duel Spirit Partners who were in their human forms. They were always playing around outside, because their parents and Partners felt they were safe around him. Yusei didn't have a Duel Spirit Partner, but he had powerful magic.

Magic and Duel Spirits were common here, and magic was used to help create things or do things that might seem impossible otherwise. Some people, like Team Satisfaction had started out as, used their powers to fight and help people. The members, though the Team had disbanded, were popular and pretty much as famous as someone could get around the Satellite, even spoken of in the City. Not that Yusei cared much. He wasn't the type to be overly proud.

Team Satisfaction was gone. Kiryu was sentenced to prison for life since he had nearly killed three people, him and his dragon partner named Sentinel. Crow had gotten caught (finally) and was also in prison, though he'd be released soon. The guards went easy on him. He was the best thief in the Satellite but only stole to make the kids happy, so they weren't too hard on him. Besides he was a good kid, if a little mischievous. Yusei was here, fixing things for no charge when people brought them to him. Then there was Jack.

Jack was the only other one in their group who had a Partner, at least when they had last met. It was possible that Yusei and Crow would also meet Duel Spirits who would want to become their Partners and strike a contract with them, but it also might never happen. But Jack had a dragon as well, a large and fiery creature named Blaze. The two were powerful, and since they were both fire magic users they fit well together.

Jack and Blaze had been instantly noticed by Seto Kaiba, a man who had basically helped make the world as it was today. He was one of the Big Three, who had created the Duel Academy, where people like Jack were taken. It had been created to protect the weak, so of course Jack with his powers had been snatched right up. Crow had preferred to stay here, and Yusei didn't feel he was needed anywhere else.

"This kid was part of Team Satisfaction?" Theresa scoffed loudly, returning Yusei's mind to the present again. He turned to look.

"That's right," he replied simply.

"Oh really?" she asked, eying him suspiciously. "Which one are you then? What magic do you use?"

"I use Wind Magic," Yusei replied. "I suppose I'm pretty powerful, but it's not like I was the most powerful. That would probably be Jack or Kiryu."

Theresa crossed her arms and glared at him, obviously not believing him one bit. Yusei wasn't really that moved by the fact that she was looking at him that way. The new officers usually did until they mellowed out towards the people of the Satellite. She was no exception, and it was mostly what he expected.

But seeing that they were getting no where, Liam stepped forward. He gave Yusei an apologetic smile and laid his hand on her shoulder. She glared at him too, obviously thinking he was siding with him. But Yusei gave a smile back and turned back to his table, sitting at the stool at the front of it. He knew the drill by now.

"Sorry," Liam said. "I know you're busy. Thanks for fixing the bike, but we should be getting back to Head Quarters. Make sure you don't get into trouble, not like Crow at least." He gave Yusei a wink then, making Yusei smile a little more.

"I'm not quite that adventurous," Yusei replied.

With that Liam excused himself and his female partner. Then he took his bike and quickly left before Theresa could somehow manage to offend Yusei. He knew Yusei was generally a very kind and patient person, but everyone had a breaking point. The two were soon outside, Theresa muttering the whole way. Yusei sighed again, looking towards the clear sky.

He was sixteen, but it seemed like he was a lot older. He felt older. But then again, many people his age seemed that way, in the City and out. It had to do with a disaster that had first split the Satellite off from the City in the first place. It had been called the Zero Reverse, a giant meltdown to a Reactor meant to safely give fuel to the city in an environmentally friendly way. Somehow or other it had overloaded and had caused an explosion that had nearly taken out New Domino City, which was now again one of the capitals of the world.

Many people his age or just younger had lost their parents and families in that explosion. They were a generation of Orphans, and in the aftermath of the explosion their worlds had changed. Yusei had been an infant during that incident, and the fact that he had survived when he had (apparently) been so close to the explosion in the fist place seemed like a miracle. Team Satisfaction had been made of Orphans, and other such groups existed.

Basically their whole world had changed because of the Zero Reverse, and that had made the Satellite what it was. The City seemed to send no help though, and no one was allowed to leave unless they got clearance from the City. It was lonely, and the Satellite was small. The old site of the Reactor was here too, and people stayed away from it. But there was an air of distrust between the City and the Satellite because of this.

"Yusei," a child's voice cried as several young children ran in.

He looked up as three children dashed over to him, carrying something. They were followed by a young boy wearing a black hoodie with the hood down, black hair and ruby red eyes. Yusei recognized him as Dark, the Partner to one of the children who had run in. He looked up at Yusei and looked very ashamed about something. But Yusei soon found out what.

It was one of their toys that the children gave to him, a small helicopter that was motorized and could be flown around. He had built it from them out of spare parts, and it looked like it had been crashed into something. It was torn apart pretty well.

"Dark hit it," one of the kids said.

"He didn't mean to," a small girl cried in defense of her Partner. "He was just playing. He said sorry."

"Yeah well," a boy said angrily. "No one but you can hear the voice of your Partner. You would say that!"

"Calm down," Yusei said gently but firmly. "And tell me what happened." The boy pointed an accusing finger at Dark, who lowered his head.

"Dark changed into his true form and he hit it with his claws," the boy said. "He flew too close to it." Yusei nodded, knowing that Dark was a Red Eyes Black Dragon, a rare, but not too uncommon Duel Spirit. They were a plentiful race, but generally shy.

"You know he didn't mean it," Yusei said. "He just wanted to play with you guys too. Besides he's small. If he did fly too close there was a reason."

"Dark said he thought he saw something," his human Partner suddenly cried. "He was nervous because he sensed another more powerful dragon."

This made Yusei pause a little in surprise and look at Dark. The Duel Spirit nodded to tell him that there was indeed something he had noticed. Yusei suddenly wondered why there was another dragon around here, and a powerful one at that. Duel Spirits, and especially dragons weren't ones to make things like this up. They were powerful magical beings, and generally neutral beings. So why was there one near here? They usually didn't appear often, and having one appear so close was not very comforting to say the least.

"You don't believe that do you, Yusei?" the boy asked.

"I do," Yusei replied. "I've been around far too many dragons to think he could be making this up so he wouldn't get in trouble. They don't lie, it's not in their natures."

Yusei turned to look out the window again. Another dragon? He wasn't sure what it was doing here, but he knew there had to be a reason. He noticed it was getting pretty late, and he felt rather worried suddenly. He turned again to the children.

"Don't worry," Yusei said. "I'll fix it for you. But it's getting late. Why don't you all go home now and I'll have it fixed for you by noon? Deal?"

The children seemed far more cheered up by this and agreed readily. Yusei was like a big brother to them, so they ran off to go home like he had asked, knowing he'd keep his promise to them. Yusei did notice Dark glance back at him once though before following his Partner away.

Once they were out of sight Yusei quickly grabbed his jacket and gloves, putting them on and quickly heading out the door. He had to see what was going on. He wasn't sure why there was a dragon nearby, and he knew it was unusual. Dragons came from the Spirit Realm very rarely, making them rare to have as Partners as it went among the different species of Duel Spirits. The most common to appear would be Red Eyes Black Dragons and Blue Eyes White Dragons, though as Joey Wheeler and Seto Kaiba proved, they could be used very effectively.

Dragons coming to their world was rare, which was why it was surprising that both Jack and Kiryu had gotten such rare dragon Partners. So to hear there was a powerful dragon around now could be interesting to say the least. At the same time though, it could be dangerous. They were neutral beings, but they could bring other things with them. Besides, Yusei had a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach now, something telling him that there was something wrong.

He locked the door behind him and then ran out down the street, going in the direction he had seen the children run off in earlier. He didn't really know where he was going, or even really why. He just knew that he had to go that way. Something was happening and he had to see what. He dodged around debris that constantly filled the streets of the Satellite, though this street was cleaner of it than some, and continued on his way.

Yusei at first had no direction to travel in, he was simply following a path the children might have taken while playing. However soon he felt energy, and he paused. It was obviously magic. He had no formal training with it, but he had been forced to train himself to become powerful on these streets, and he could recognize the signs of magic being used now. Most people couldn't sense it because magic seemed so normal to them after thousands of years of use, but Yusei could.

He changed course to find the source of it, leaping over the blasted debris and continuing on. The road became less and less traveled and cleaned. He was heading in a direction where there weren't many people, and he was a little glad for that. He wasn't sure why there was magic being used, but it's not like he could ignore it either. He had been protecting the Satellite for too long to do that.

He neared the place where he had sensed the magic being used and was nearly knocked off his feet by another blast of it. He shielded his eyes from the blast and then looked up quickly, spotting a girl there. He realized she was using Wind Magic. It was very similar to his own, which is mostly what surprised him so much.

The girl was slightly shorter than him, though she was average height for her age, which appeared to be about the same as his. She had short white hair, parted to the left over her face and cut even shorter in the back into a pixie cut. She wore a blue long sleeved shirt even though it was still pretty hot, and a simple and short white poncho over it. She had a short white skirt with blue leggings underneath and white boots. He found it was a little surprising that everything matched so much, and he wondered why that was. She also had large blue hooped earrings, and she had pale skin.

She was obviously the one casting the wind spells, since her hands were up and she was watching for something. She seemed to not see whatever she was looking for though, and then suddenly noted his presence. She looked over to him, and he was surprised to see that her eyes were a bright amber color with slits in the middle, very cat like in appearance. Her eyes widened when she saw him and her mouth parted a little. She looked almost horrified.

But then to Yusei's surprise she quickly ran towards him. She grabbed his arm when she reached him and met his eyes, giving him a rather fierce look and a warning one. He realized she was a Duel Spirit because of her eyes, and since she wasn't talking to him. She might look human, but he knew she wasn't. He paused as he looked at her.

"What's going on?" he asked, lowering his voice though he wasn't sure why.

She made no attempt to explain and instead whirled around. A slight snarl appeared on her face and she stepped in front of him, holding out an arm as if to keep him behind her and protect him. He wasn't sure what had gained her attention in such a negative way, but he wasn't sure he wanted to find out.

He of course soon found out though. She tensed and let out a low growl, making him shudder a little at the sound. He'd found his mysterious dragon, of that he was fairly sure. But why was she so nervous? She shoved him farther back, and something in the shadows shifted. A dark form stood up out of the shadows, and Yusei's eyes widened in horror when he realized what it was. What was one of those things doing here?

He wasn't sure, but he knew that he couldn't let it get past him either. He had to stop it here or the Satellite would be in danger. And he wasn't about to let that happen.

Sorry for the random cliff hanger, but we'll get to know more in the next Chapter. This story feels a little unpolished now, but I have plans for this, don't worry about that. Next chapter will have the first battle in the story as well as what this creature is, and why Yusei is so scared of it. I'm going to take this story slower than I have some of my others, so you'll have to be patient for me. Dont worry though, the story will get better soon.
