The Journey, of Team 5d's.

Let the Championship round, Begin!

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Are you ready? For the greatest championship round, in New Domino City history?!" The crowd roared with approval at the Announcer, in basked in the noise of the rabid crowd. Leo was amongst those that were eager to see what was about to occur, Luna on the other hand was nervous. Extremely nervous. "Leo, would you stop! Our brother is about to go into the biggest duel of his life, and there's so much we don't know!" Leo sighed once Luna had finished chastising him a little, and turned to face his sister. "I know. I'm just excited is all. This duel is gonna be amazing....but yeah, like you said there's so much we don't know. Like the marks on yours, Noah's and Yusei's arms." Then the roar of a duel runner engine eclipsed the noise of the crowd who were now deathly quiet, eager to see who was coming out first. Emerging from the tunnel was Noah Frost, on his dark red runner, with what looked like thorns painted on the side. He landed on his wheels after the initial jump out, and span his runner around to face the crowd and the announcer. "Noah Frost! Is the first duellist to emerge, and seems eager to get his game on!"

Meanwhile, in a separate location. Akiza was laying in a hot bath, her two bangs that would usually hang down in front of her face, were now tied up into what looked like buns, with what looked like some sort of bodysuit clinging to her physique. She was trying her best to come to terms with what happened, with Noah coming back into her life, and seemingly throwing her life into disarray. Though, her lips curled into a smile, thinking about him and the fact he had kept her necklace after all this time. Before she knew it, she found herself reaching up for her own necklace, gently caressing it just as Sayer walked in. "Your mind still focused on him I see?" Sayer said almost bitterly, as Akiza quickly moved her hand from the necklace once more. "It's just strange to see him again, after all this time." She said softly, as she looked up at the screen that was lowering from the ceiling. Images of the stadium on display, just as Noah emerged from the tunnel, and crashed down onto the tarmac. "This duel, will be one for the ages." Sayer remarked, his gaze turning from the screen to Akiza and back to the screen again. "Well, you get some rest ok? Once this tournament is done, we'll be heading back home." With that, Sayer left the room and left Akiza to her thoughts. "Beat them Noah. I know you can."

Back in the stadium, and another runner could be heard. Emerging from the tunnel this time was Yusei, in his trademark red runner, with white decals. He moved himself next to Noah, who gave his friend an almost cocky grin. "Satellite's Shooting Star, Yusei Fudo has made his entrance! Now we wait for our undisputed champion to emerge, and line himself up on the grid. So that we can begin this duel for the ages!" The crowd went wild once more, the noise they were making was truly something to behold. Then it all went silent again, as their champions runner could be heard making it's approach, and sure enough. Ever the showman, Jack Atlas made his dramatic entrance. Performing a 360 spin, before landing on the tarmac, and pulling himself up to Noah and Yusei. Noah soon spinning his runner around, to face the start line. "Jack Atlas is here! All three duellists are now on position, and we can begin this once in a lifetime event!" The crowd grew loud once more, as the three competitions looked at the display in front of them. Waiting for the lights, and the announcement for their duel to begin.

"Ready, Set, Duel!"
