The beginning of this chapter is a tad heavy because of how I compare the Satellite to a few Third World countries. I hope you guys enjoy this story and decide to leave a review. The song of this chapter is 'Ignorance' by Paramore. Please visit my poll regarding Yukie's name on my profile.
Disclaimer: Sapphire Kitty does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, she only owns Yukie Fudo.
Prejudice, in my opinion it's something that nobody should ever have to face. Sadly since I was born as a Satellite, this is something that will follow me and my friends around for the rest of our existence in this miserable country.
My name is Yukie Fudo (it's pronounced yoo-kee-eh, but if you find that hard to pronounce, then call me Yuki), and I am 'Satellite Scum' according to the bigwigs who live in New Domino City. They treat us like absolute shit just because we live in a place that is literally Hell on Earth as it is one big rubbish dump. Well none of us asked to live in the Satellite Sector, we were just unlucky to be born or sent here.
Still, I shouldn't be complaining because I'm one of the few 'lucky' Satellites who don't have it too rough. Quite a few girls my age (and even younger) have turned to prostitution in order to make ends meet in these place, in some cases their bodies are the only thing left that they have to offer. But sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I didn't have my family and friends to watch my back; would I have either committed suicide, died from some horrible illness or turned to prostitution?
Everyday I'm thankful that I don't know the answer to that question, and I owe it all to Yusei, my twin brother. We share a few similarities, but they are all appearance wise. Both of us have black hair with gold streaks and sapphire eyes; however I have fair skin while Yusei has tanned skin. It's probably because he spends most of his time out in the sun, while I'm usually indoors (I say indoors but I mean underground lair) fiddling around with whatever I find.
Another difference between us is, Yusei has short (well long for a boy) spiky shoulder length hair that sticks up, while my hair is straighter and reaches my waist. However, that's where most of the similarities between us end. One of the only skills we do have in common is our dueling ability, we both know our way around a few cards and the next few days will really test our abilities.
I just hope this story won't end in an utter tragedy like most stories in the Satelite do.
"Hey Yuki," Yusei's voice brought me back to reality, "hold on tighter okay? I don't want you falling off."
Good point." I answered as my arms instantly tightened around his waist, the last thing I want to do is fall out of a speeding Duel Runner that is going 80mph.
Currently Yusei was testing his Duel Runner by speeding through an abandoned subway tunnel. I didn't want to be left out of the action, so I hitched a ride with him and, let me tell you, nothing beats the thrill of riding on a Duel Runner. The wind in your hair, the world passing in a great big blur as you speed by and best of all, the adrenaline-producing freedom that fills your veins.
Despite all of that, Yusei wasn't really enjoying this test run. The whole point of it was to test out this new acceleration chip, and it didn't seem to be making any difference. I frowned because I was the one who designed this chip (Yusei designed the last one and I wanted to have a go) and the last thing I want is for it to fail.
Suddenly, Yusei Go's (Yusei's Duel Runner) engine cut off completely, causing it to squeal to a halt. I nearly screamed in fright; it was so unexpected. Both of us dismounted from the Duel Runner so that we could expect what went wrong. I noticed that there was some smoke emerging from where the acceleration chip was meant to be. Neither of us said anything; it was obvious that the new chip had burned out. Evidently it couldn't handle the intense speeds it was built for, which annoyed me to no end because Yusei simply has no time to deal with all this shit if he wants to escape from the Satellite.
I pulled off my helmet. "Sorry Yusei; it looks like the chip failed. That was completely my fault."
Usually Yusei and I worked as a team whenever we created something new, but I wanted to prove to Yusei that I could work well on my own. I mean, what if something bad (God forbid) happens to Yusei? What if I have to be independent and take care of myself? Even though I'm 18, it always helps to have somebody around.
Yusei pulled his helmet off as well, "It wasn't your fault; we just don't have enough resources to make a decent acceleration chip. Now let's get this runner back home."
Yusei always seems to sugarcoat my failures. Still, I shouldn't be complaining because at least he's supporting me like he always does. We both clicked our helmets back on (it would be annoying to carry them while pushing this Duel Runner) before we started to wheel Yusei Go.
However as soon as we had gotten closer to home (by home I mean underground lair), a voice rang out. I cringed immediately because I knew who that voice belonged to. The one person who I absolutely despised: Jack Atlas.
"Who's the one Master of Faster? Who rules the duels? That's right, it's me!" Jack bragged from the computer screen.
Even though I couldn't see him, I could imagine the smug look on his face as he said those words. Jack took great pride in all the stupid titles he's called, the 'Master of Faster', the 'Sultan of Speed' and the 'King'. I absolutely loathed Jack for selling his soul (and his friends) in order to get a shot at the big leagues.
"Mr. Atlas, can we get a word? Ever since you burst onto the scene with your first Duel Runner, the competition hasn't been able to keep up. Is it the power in your ride that has catapulted you to the Number One ranking in the world?" The MC asked.
I looked over to the computer while Yusei continued to wheel his Duel Runner to his workbench, watching as Jack rudely snatched the microphone from the MC.
"Let's get this straight," Jack announced, "it's not the power of the runner, it's the rider! I'll take on anyone on any ride and I'll still be victorious! Anymore questions?" Jack asked.
"One more, do you have anything to say to those out there who dream of one day challenging you?" A photographer asked before Yusei started to gun the engine of his runner, which managed to capture the attention of our friends.
"Oh uh hey Yusei, hi Yuki," Blitz said nervously as Jack said his answer, "Yes, bring it-" before Tank turned the computer off.
"Sorry about that. We woulda watched the duel somewhere else, Yuse, honest, but the cable we rigged couldn't stretch any further." Tank explained as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.
"Jack was amazing as always," Nervin added.
Why would Nervin say that? He knows it's only going to make Yusei more annoyed...even though Yusei wouldn't show it.
"Nervin, zip it would ya?" Blitz scolded as Yusei silently started to tinker with his runner.
"What? What I say, Blitz?" Nervin asked, genuinely confused.
Sometimes I wonder if Nervin is really that dense.
"You're forgetting how we feel about Jack, Nervin." I sighed.
"Oh…sorry," Nervin apologised.
"Only one person should be sorry," Yusei countered. I nodded my head in agreement.
"Yeah Yusei is right." I commented.
Blitz agreed. "Right, Jack still owes ya for what he did."
"Got that right," Yusei says a bit absentmindedly.
Yusei always acts like this whenever he's focusing on his Duel Runner.
I should probably go and see if he needs any help, I thought, before I went over to Yusei. I could see that he had plugged his runner into the computer so that he could view its schematics.
"So where have you been Yuse?" Tank asked, trying to change the awkward subject of Jack Atlas (or should I call him Jack Assless?).
"The tunnels; trying to test out that new acceleration chip," I answered instead of Yusei.
"So are you gonna tell us if the new chip worked out or what?" Tank wondered, a bit slow on the uptake.
"Duh, Tank, does it look like it worked?" Blitz pointed out.
"I guess not," Tank realized. "Although, your other runner looked great on TV."
"Tank," Blitz slapped his left hand into the back of Tank's head to get him to shut up.
"Just trying to make our friend feel better is all!" Tank defended himself as he pushed Blitz's hand away. "That is Yusei's Duel Runner. I mean if it weren't for Jack double-crossing Yuse and stealing his ride, Yuse woulda been giving that interview. Well cuz Jack got all famous with Yus's runner, all the fame, fortune and glory is Jack's now!"
"Yusei didn't build that runner to become rich and famous; he built it so that we could escape from this hellhole and as a sign of our friendship," I offered.
Yusei is far too humble; he prefers the simpler things in life and so do I. Two years ago I had the chance to finally leave this place and start a new life, but I declined because I didn't want to leave Yusei or my friends.
"Yusei, Hey Yusei, are you down here?" Rally shouted as he ran into our home, all out of breath.
Rally was the youngest of our group and he truly did look like a girl. He had long curly brown hair with a yellow beanie hat, big brown eyes, tanned skin, a yellow dress (I'm being serious), a light blue bathrobe and he had a small triangle criminal mark under his left eye. When we first met, I thought he was a girl.
"In here Rally," Yusei called out as he temporarily broke away from his work.
"How's it going little buddy?" Tank asked.
"Wait until you see what I got for Yusei," Rally sounded really excited, which meant he must have had some really good news.
"What is it?" I asked curiously.
Rally plunged his hand into one of his pockets before pulling a small chip out, "Check it out, a Skylight Thirty Acceleration Chip!"
"That's a Skylight?" Nervin asked as he and the others gathered around to see the chip. "Aren't those incredibly expensive?"
Blitz grabbed Rally's arm so he could get a better look at the chip, "It looks like it's never been used. Don't tell me you stole this?" He asked in an accusing tone.
"I didn't steal anything! It was just laying on the ground in broad daylight. Maybe someone dropped it." Rally pulled his hand back and hid the chip in his clasped hands.
"Dropped it? If a Skylight Thirty Acceleration Chip is so expensive, nobody would have dropped it." I pointed out.
"Rally ya shouldn't have taken what don't belong to ya!" Blitz lectured.
"You know how things are here. Nobody leaves anything just lying around." Tank started to agree with Blitz.
Sadly that's true; you get mugged here if you carry anything of value.
Nervin crouched behind Rally. "If they saw you, they'll track us all down and mark us all!" Nervin brushed his left index finger across Rally's criminal mark.
"Oh come on guys, give him a break! Getting marked isn't the worst thing that could happen to us!" I exclaimed. I couldn't stand Rally being criticised any longer.
Yusei nodded and Rally gave me a look of appreciation.
"Hey Rally, pass me the chip." I asked while holding my hand out.
Rally quickly handed me the chip and I started to examine it. I knew that it was practically suicide to accept this chip because Sector Security could track it down and Yusei Go could get taken away and we would all be shipped off to the Facility, which is even worse than the Satellite.
But when you have nothing to lose, you have everything to gain and that's what convinced me to use the chip. Yusei pulled my wrist towards him so that he could get a better look at the chip.
"This is just what we need." Yusei stated before I pulled the chip away from him.
"Let me put it in." I insisted.
Yusei sighed, "Fine, just be careful."
"You know I'm always careful." I replied as I took one step back and tripped over the toolbox.
Ouch, that smarts.
"What was that about being careful?" Nervin asked before I pulled myself off.
"That was a one off and the chip is fine." I pouted before bending down and taking out the hard drive of Yusei Go.
"You can't use that, Yuki." Nervin warned me.
"You gotta make Rally take it back!" Blitz agreed with Nervin.
"I knew you'd like it! Will it make you faster?" Rally asked with a happy look on his face.
"Absolutely," Yusei reassured Rally.
"Well, then maybe he shouldn't return it!" Tank yelled as he joined the dark side (okay, the side that decided to use the chip).
"Tank," Blitz shouted.
"What?"
"We know how you feel, Yus, but I think it's time to bury the past, move on and forget about Jack Atlas." Nervin tried to dissuade me from using the chip, but I had already inserted it.
Rally looked annoyed, "But Jack took Yusei's best card!"
Nervin put his hand on his hips, "And you remember Jack's in the city, and the people over there don't take too kindly to those of us from the Satellite."
"Yeah, and? In case you forgot, sometimes you gotta stand up for yourself!" Rally shouted at Nervin in annoyance.
Why doesn't Nervin understand the seriousness of this situation? Jack betrayed us all and stole the one thing that provided us hope in this desolate place. That has to be a good enough reason to go after Jack.
Nervin ignored Rally, and pushed his arm in front of Rally,"Yusei, us Satellites should just stay put."
Yusei was back onto his computer, "Jack didn't stay, so why should I?"
"Yeah Nervin, Jack ruined our lives and left us to pick up the pieces. He needs to face up to what he's done and realise how serious this is!" I growled.
Stupid Jack Atlas! Why did I ever have a crush on him? Oh I know it was because of those dreamy violet eyes, his brilliant blonde hair and his tough boy exterior...okay, so remember exactly why I had a crush on him. But then he went and ruined it!
"Let him go bro, don't risk your freedom for some wheels and a card. I think Nerv's right; it's time to put the past in the past." Blitz's advice, no matter how sound, went unheard and ignored.
"Huh…" Was the only reply Yusei gave; far too distracted for anything else as his runner started to make some charging noises. He stood up and revved the engine, which let out an awesome roar of acceleration that filled the entire subway.
They weren't kidding when they said that the Skylight Thirty was the best acceleration chip ever. I've never heard a Duel Runner purr like that before. Even Nervin had shut up in amazement.
"Okay three words: that was awesome!" I squealed in delight.
Yusei lets go of the throttle and patted his now complete runner.
"Wow! Now that's what I call power!" Rally cried as Yusei nodded. Rally grabbed Yusei's helmet. "Take it out for a spin! Let's find out what it can do!"
Suddenly a blinding white light filled the subway tunnel, and the sounds of a helicopter alerted us of Sector Securities presence.
"What's that?" Tank asked as the helicopter light sweep through the crack over the subway tunnel.
"It's Sector Security!" I shouted.
This is really bad, they know where we live and they know that we have an illegal Duel Runner. We need to leave now!
"Identification number AWX86007, you're in possession of stolen property. Escape is not an option! You're surrounded!" An officer's voice blared down at us from the helicopter speakers.
Everybody looked over to Rally who touched his criminal mark. I hope Rally isn't blaming himself for the appearance of Sector Security. It was bound to happen at any time.
The officer in the helicopter says again; "We have you surrounded, 86007!"
"Look whatcha did!" Blitz yelled at Rally with a furious expression.
"I didn't do anything!" Rally insisted. "Blitz, I promise I didn't steal anything! It's like I said before; it was just lying there and nobody was around!"
"None of that matters, Rally!" Blitz started to talk, but he stopped when Yusei placed his right hand on his shoulder.
"It's gonna be all right." Yusei told them as he dropped his hand.
"But what should we do?" Blitz asked.
That wasn't a very good question because the only thing we could do is run for our lives.
"There's nothing we can do! That mark is like a homing device. It sends a signal to security!" Tank informed us.
"Tell me something we don't know! Look, let me handle this by jamming this tracking signal." I said as I started to hack into the helicopters tracking signal using Yusei's computer.
I knew that it was working because I heard one of the officers shouting, "Agh! The signal! It's been compromised!"
Yusei sat on his runner and Rally handed him his helmet. "I bought you guys a couple of minutes. Yuki, go with them."
"No way, we're family so we stick together!" I exclaimed before climbing onto Yusei Go and pulling my helmet back on.
Yusei realised that we had no time to argue so he allowed it.
"Where do you think your going?" Blitz asked.
"You take the East Tunnel, I'm gonna take this chip out for a test drive." Yusei lowered his visor before driving us away. The Duel Runner lurched forwards before accelerating to impossible speeds.
"Gah," I managed to choke out.
Yusei drove us up the tunnel stairs and straight into security visuals. I hope Yusei realised that he was putting us in grave danger! The helicopter's spotlight bore down on us as we tore up the high street.
I didn't think they'd be on us this quick, I thought. It must be because of the chip!
"You on the runner, pull over! There's no use trying to escape!" A familiar voice barked; one of the officers was currently tailing us on a Sector Security Duel Runner.
"Yusei, we better do what he says because there is no way we can outride him." I informed him as his body tensed.
Yusei sighed, "I know."
Suddenly Yusei turned into an alleyway and smashed through a rusty metal gate. We slid into a stop and waited for the rest of Sector Security. A familiar looking officer got off his runner before pushing a button to make his visor go up. Once I got a look at his face, I realised why the guy looked so familiar.
It was Officer Trudge.
"Remember me you two? It's been quite a while since the center; I'll have to thank Jack for setting up this reunion. Jack said with the right bait, Rally would lead us right to you. I knew we shoulda locked you up when you were a kid." Trudge snarled, "Looks like I'll finally get my wish, and with you, Yukie and Rally off to the facility, Jack will have one less thing to worry about. Now tell me, are you going to make this easy and come along quietly?"
I tightened my fists; I should have known Jack was behind this!
"I will," Yusei started which made we think that he had lost his mind until he finished his sentence, "If you can beat me in a duel."
I sighed with relief; Yusei is obviously going to beat Trudge so we have nothing to worry about.
Trudge laughed, "I see you still think you can outduel Sector Security. It's too bad the rules say you Satellites can't carry cards."
Now it was my turn to laugh, "We're responsible for sorting out New Domino City's garbage; obviously we're going to come across cards and keep them."
Yusei held up his deck. "Plus rules were made to be broken, weren't they?" He placed his deck into his Wrist Dealer. "Now if I win this duel, Rally, Yuki and I are free to go. No questions asked, Trudge."
"The law does not negotiate with-" The officer previously in the squad car started to speak, but Trudge put his arm out to stop him talking.
"And what's in it for me should I accept your proposal?" Trudge asked with a nasty grin on his face.
The other officer tried again; "But article 4B clearly states that…"
"Well, allow me to clearly state this; get moving or else!" Trudge threatened.
"This is highly improper!" An officer shouted back.
"I said move, or would you prefer to be working on trash detail?!" Here Trudge lost his temper completely, causing the others to wince.
"Back to command center everyone, direct orders," The officer finally went back to tell the others, and the car exits, leaving just us three.
"Well, should you accept and win, you'll tell Sector Security to call off their hunt for Rally," Yusei said.
"And how does that benefit me?" Trudge asked in a doubtful tone of voice.
"Cuz then we'll say it was us who stole the chip, and that we tried to flee the scene, but couldn't outrun your pursuit. A statement like that'll probably bump you up to Sergeant. So what do ya say officer?" I winked at him.
I knew that Yusei wouldn't mind because he knew that we were going to win this duel. I know that sounds really arrogant but, Sector Security always use the same deck. Those decks are really easy to beat, I mean the amount of times Crow has been able to beat them in one turn...
"Then in that case, you've got yourself a deal…fools." Trudge accepted the conditions and remounted his runner.
Yusei and Trudge both lined up their Duel Runners.
"Here we go," Trudge says as he lowers his visor. Yusei does the same.
"Duel mode engaged, autopilot activated," chirped both Duel Runners.
"Let's ride!"
Yusei: 4000 Speed Counters 0
Trudge: 4000 Speed Counters 0
"I can't wait to finally put you away," Trudge murmurs as he starts the duel. "And my Assault Dog's (4/1200/800) gonna help make sure of it!"
A heavily armed black dog appeared on the field, signifying the monster.
"With it on the field, I'll place a card face down and end my turn," Trudge finishes.
Yusei: 4000 Speed Counters 1
Trudge: 4000 Speed Counters 1
"It's my move then! I summon Speed Warrior (2/900/400)!" A gray, warrior-type monster with a breathing tank appears near Yusei's runner.
"You never were good at math now were you? I mean that monster's attack points are obviously less than mine. Why bother summoning him out?" Trudge pointed out.
Trudge really needs to stop underestimating our cards; obviously he doesn't know about Speed Warrior's special ability.
Yusei accelerated, and Speed Warrior's attack points changed to 1800.
"Hey, why'd his attack points double like that?" Trudge asked as we pulled up next to him.
"I heard you were at the bottom of your class at the academy, and now I can see why." Yusei smirked.
"Still a wise guy I see. I expected nothing less." Trudge growled.
"Well, did you expect my Speed Warrior to take out your Assault Dog?" Yusei asked rhetorically as Speed Warrior double kicked Assault Dog, causing it to disintegrate
Yusei: 4000
Trudge: 3400
"You always were a know it all. Well, I'm about to teach you a brand new lesson, Yusei." Trudge smiled as another Assault Dog took to the field. "See when Assault Dog is sent to the graveyard because of an attack, I can summon another one from my deck to take its place."
"Still using the same old deck I see," Yusei commented. "I'll set a card to end my turn."
Yusei: 4000 Speed Counters 2
Trudge: 3400 Speed Counters 2
"And now that your Speed Warrior's attack points are halved I tribute my Assault Dog to bring out Handcuffs Dragon (5/1800/1800)!" Trudge summoned a skinny dragon with half a handcuff for a mouth, and the other half for a tail.
"Here's a great math lesson; with 1800 attack points your Speed Warrior's about to get subtracted from the field!" Trudge declares as Handcuffs Dragon gets ready to attack.
"Not if I play my face down Scrap Iron Scarecrow!" Yusei retorts as the trap activated. "With this I can absorb your dragon's attack and save my Speed Warrior!"
"You mean that would've happened if not for the Wire Tap trap card!" Trudge counters with his own trap.
Crap, looks like we've been underestimating Trudge as well.
"Handcuffs Dragon, take out his monster!" Trudge ordered as his dragon uses its cuff mouth to squeeze Speed Warrior into the digital pieces.
Yusei: 3100
Trudge: 3400
"Your deck is made up of cards that others threw away! And no matter how much you patch it up, trash is still trash!" Trudge gloated.
Yusei's body stiffened; I could tell that this passing comment had made him as angry as hell.
Yusei: 3100 Speed Counters 3
Trudge: 3400 Speed Counters 3
"I summon Sonic Chick (1/300/300) in defense mode!" Yusei yelled as a small pink bird with big red boots appeared. It was cute yet comical.
"Next I place two cards face-down and end my turn!" Yusei finished.
Yusei: 3100 Speed Counters 4
Trudge: 3400 Speed Counters 4
"Just like a Satellite to hide behind junk. Well, I'll flush you out!" Trudge declared as he drew a card.
"One, two, three," Trudge sent three monsters from his hand to the graveyard.
Why would he send three monsters from his hand to the graveyard? It makes no sense, unless...he's trying to special summon a monster!
"Now by sending those three cards to my graveyard, I can special summon Montage Dragon (8/3000/0) to the field!" Trudge explained.
A giant blue three headed dragon appeared in the field, and roared as its attack points slid up to 3000.
"And with a powerful beast like that in play, it's only a matter of time before this duel is over, and I get to turn you in." Trudge bragged.
"Quite the beast," Yusei muttered.
"Yeah, you need to be careful Yuse," I replied.
"Wait till you see it in action. But first my Handcuffs Dragon is taking out your Sonic Chick!" Trudge exclaimed as Sonic Chick is destroyed.
"And with him out of the way, I'm just one attack away from putting you away for good. Go Power Collage!" Trudge yelled as a red, yellow and green ray of light appear in each dragon mouth. The rays turn into a triple laser that slams straight into us.
Yusei: 100, Speed Counters 1
Trudge: 3400 Speed Counters 4
Yusei's speed decreases as his Speed Counters suddenly dropped sharply. I can't believe we're down to our last 100 Life Points and only one Speed Counter!
"There's not a card in your deck that can save you now!" Trudge announced.
Yusei has never relied on just one card to win a duel; I just hope that Yusei draws something good this turn.
Yusei: 100 Speed Counters 2
Trudge: 3400 Speed Counters 5
"I summon out the Junk Synchron (3/1300/500) tuner monster!" A small mechanical orange tuner monster appeared.
"You have a tuner monster? That can't be!" Trudge exclaims in disbelief.
I rolled my eyes at that statement; like I said before, we sort out New Domino City's trash so of course we're going to come across a different variety of cards.
"And yet somehow it is. Next up I activate the Graceful Revival trap card. And it allows me to do what we Satellites do best, recycle my Speed Warrior from my graveyard." Speed Warrior jumped out of the card as it triumphantly returned to Yusei's field.
"Now I tune my level 3 Junk Synchron with my level 2 Speed Warrior. The stars come together to call forth a new power! Become the path that lights the way! Synchro Summon! Come, Junk warrior (5/2300/1300)!"
Junk Synchron turned into three green rings that, in turn, encircled the two stars that Speed Warrior had become. Both the rings and stars flew into the air as an enormous flash of green light appeared and from it, Junk Warrior emerged!
Junk Warrior looked like Junk Synchron, but taller, stronger-looking and with purple-shaded armour. Slowly, it turned its metallic head towards Trudge and the monster it had to face.
"Clever move, but your monster's still not strong enough to stop my Montage Dragon. Looks like after all that, you still underestimated the power of my beast!" Trudge boasted.
If he's so confident then why is he sweating? I thought, analyzing Trudge from behind half-lidded eyes. He isn't much of a strategist.
"And you underestimated the power of my deck! I activate the Speed Spell - Vision Wind!" Yusei shouted.
"My Vision Wind, you won that from me on your last day at the Re-Education Center. What are you gonna do with it?" Trudge looked like he was panicking, but he has every right to be because combining its effect with Junk Warriors special ability equals trouble for Trudge!
How's that for a math lesson? I thought with a smirk.
"Win this duel," Yusei answered. "As I'm sure you remember, Vision Wind lets me summon one level two or below monster from my graveyard, and I choose my Speed Warrior! With it on the field, Junk Warrior's special ability activates; making Junk Warrior 900 points stronger!"
Junk Warrior: 2300 + 900 = 3200
"How could I let a punk kid from the Satellite Sector get the upper hand?" Trudge muttered.
"My Junk Warrior's gonna make sure that Rally, Yuki and I stay free!" Yusei proclaims as Junk Warrior's right fist glowed yellow and punched Handcuffs Dragon into digital pieces.
Yusei: 100, Speed Counters 2
Trudge: 2000 Speed Counters 4
Trudge sneered, "I bet you really thought that by attacking you'd only be hurting me, but in fact you really just hurt yourself! But that's nothing new is it, Yusei? As I recall, you were always one to act first and think second. Reminds me of the time you tried to break curfew with Yukie. You never thought you'd be caught, but one never does until they are. I can still remember the delicious terrified look on Yukie's face, and I can't wait to see it again once you're rounded up."
That was not a very pleasant memory. We were only 14 at the time and Yusei had convinced me that we would get away with it.
Handcuffs Dragon's shadow appeared and latched onto Junk Warrior, decreasing its attack from 3200 to 1400.
"Well keep waiting, cuz I'm not losing!"
"Not what?" Trudge asked.
"I activate the trap card Equip Shot! This releases my warrior from your dragon's grip, and lets me use its ability against you!" Yusei explained.
At Yusei's words, Junk Warrior ripped off Handcuffs Dragon and chucked it at Montage Dragon instead.
"You can't use my monster against me!" Trudge complained while the 3000 attack points of Montage now became 1200 as Handcuffs Dragon squeezed the wrong monster.
"Woohoo, we're going home tonight!" I cheered with delight. Yusei grinned and nodded in agreement, "Junk Warrior, end this!"
And with that Junk Warrior ended the duel as it shocked Montage Dragon, and Trudge's Life Points, down the drain.
Yusei: 100,
Trudge: 0
Trudge's Duel Runner started to smoke before it came to a halt, "There goes my promotion. Guess I'm going back to being a Duel Runner Meter Maid." He practically wailed.
Yusei pulled up a few feet in front of Trudge's still smoking runner.
"You mentioned earlier about how you wanted to teach me a lesson. Well how bout' I leave you with this; don't underestimate us Satellites or our decks," Yusei stated.
"Because what you see as weakness is what truly makes us strong." I finished.
Yusei started up Yusei Go, but this time I was prepared for the immense burst of speed.
"Tell Jack thanks for the chip!" I cackled as we sped away.
"Things ain't over between me and you!" Trudge roared.
After a five minute ride from the subway tunnel Yusei finally pulled us over. We had stopped on a bridge which overlooked New Domino City. I got off Yusei Go and pulled my helmet off so I could get a better look. Yusei pulled off his helmet and joined me.
Get ready New Domino City!" I shouted.
I admit that I shouldn't have said that, but that Turbo Duel kinda hyped me up and filled me with adrenaline. Yusei couldn't help smiling either, "Well said Yuki. Finally, after two years, Jack will pay for what he did to us."
Jack, you have no idea what Yusei has in store for you. I thought as I stared up into the sky which held many promises, for the first time in a long time, I finally felt at ease and I don't care how cliché that sounds.
Most poverty stricken women do in fact have to turn to prostitution because it's just as Yuki said, their bodies are the only things they have left to offer. Sadly this issue is increasing and it's sad to think how women barely have any more options.
Does anybody want to guess why Yukie hates Jack?
Yukie: I would, but I'm guessing I'm not allowed to say. Thanks for reading this chapter!
