Bonds That Can Change the Future (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds)

Signers of the Crimson Dragon

Chapter 3

(following anime episodes 27 and 28)

          "Yusei! Yusei! Yusei! Yusei!" The crowd was getting wild and everyone in the tournament ring was shouting Yusei's name. He was standing still in the middle of the arena looking at his surroundings. The future he was chasing is now a history! He managed to escape through pipes to Neo Domino City, he met Jack and Godwin, director of Sector Security; a tall and pale male with long white hair, who always spoke to people in calm voice but Yusei sensed something evil within him; he saw Godwin as untrustworthy and manipulative, so he didn't actually care about much. If it wasn't for this tournament, he would've never talked to him anyway. A lot has happened in the past three or four days, since he has came here. Yusei ended up in a Facility and now being marked with a criminal mark on his face as a refugee from Satellite, he won the Fortune Cup and was recognised as the Duel King. After escaping the prison, he met new friends, who helped him on his journey. Old man Yanagi and a former professional duellist Jin Himuro, who were hanging out with Yusei in the Facility and were now freed, so they can watch Yusei's back. Grandpa Yanagi, cheerful, kind and selfless old man who travelled a lot and knows almost everything about history, past and ancient times never leaves Yusei's side while Himuro serves more as a guardian and protector due to his muscular body and strong appearance. Yusei was more than happy to have them by his side just like the twins he met, Rua and Ruka. They were around eleven years old, had turquoise hair and while Ruka was silent, calm and rather shy, her brother Rua was quite the opposite; talkative, loud and full of himself with a huge smile on his face. Rua also had a dream of becoming the King of Duels in the future, so he loved Yusei not just because of his personality but because of his skills and his talent as a duellist. Yusei was worried because of the things that are about to happen... He saw doctors that were taking care of Jack, as he was hurt and unconscious, so Yusei walked to him worried about his life. During their duel, they were transferred into another dimension where Yusei saw the destruction of the Satellite and the pain Jack and he felt during taking damage was real, so when Jack lost, there's no mistaking that he took a great amount of damage and almost died in the process. Even though Yusei never wanted to continue with it not to put Jack into danger, it was Jack's own will to continue with the duel and finish things off... It was the pride as a King that resides within Jack that almost killed him.

"Jack", Yusei whispered while looking at doctors taking Jack away from the arena, "What we both saw..." his thoughts were speeding away, as someone shouted from the crowd.

          "You Satellite punk! What kinda dirty tricks did you use?!?"

"Damned marked punk!" Shouted someone else when Yusei turned around to see where the voice is coming from. He couldn't do a thing but to just stand and listen to what people have to say. He never imagined a circus will be born out of his idea to earn his card back and now that Stardust Dragon is in his deck, he's fulfilled his first task leaving only one more score to settle: Hanako.

          "I won't stand for a King born out of Satellite!" Crowd wasn't very pleased with Yusei being the King but soon Rua shouted Yusei's name, so Yusei turned to the direction of his voice.

"Rua", he called back seeing Yanagi, Himuro and Rua running towards him.

          "Sonny, let's get outta here now!" Yanagi claimed pointing to the crowd; it was a group of people with microphones notes and pencils: a press. Journalists prepared to take an interview from the new King.

"Fudo Yusei! The King! Let us get an interview!" They were shouting trying to break the fence taking pictures of Yusei, who couldn't move not knowing what to do. Himuro jumped in, took Yusei's runner and called for Yusei.
