Satellite Shooting Star

Chapter 3: Battling Minds

The next day was just the usual as I went through my duel training. When I had finished with that, I was heading back to my room until Sayer stopped me.

"I see you've finished your training, Samantha?"

"Yes, sir, but please, call me Sam." I said.

"As you wish. Anyways, now that you've finished your duel training, it's time for your duel runner training. Head to the plaza, there is a gate to the left. Liquid and Okita should be there waiting for you."

"Yes, Sayer." I bowed my head before walking off.

I headed to the main plaza and went to the left, like Sayer said, and saw Liquid was just finishing his own run.

"Man, that's harder than it looks!" He said. "Oh, there you are, Sam. I think it's your turn."

I nodded. "Wish me luck."

I put the helmet on and hopped on the machine. I pressed a button as it activated; almost like I knew how to. As the lights lit up, I waited silently. But once that light turned green, I was gone. Obstacle after obstacle, I dodged every single one without even breaking a sweat. When I got to the end, I stopped the runner and removed the helmet, setting it on the seat. I then walked over to the two boys as I could see the awe written on their faces.

"What?" I asked.

"That was smashing!" Okita smiled.

"Sam, you're a natural!" He said. "You didn't even hit an obstacle once! Come on, you've ridden one before."

I gave him a confused look, shaking my head. "Not that I remember."

"Well, we should head back."

"I agree." Said Okita.

As we were walking back to our building, someone passed us. He did a double take as I heard him call out.

"Sam!? Is that you!?" He asked.
I quickly turned around to face him. His eyes struck into me like lightning as they stared straight into my soul.

"Sam! It's me, Yusei!"

"Do you know him, Sam?" Liquid asked.

"That's enough!" Came Sayer's voices as he came between us. "Take Samantha back now. I'll handle him..."

Suddenly, memories flooded through my mind of my past...

-Flashback-

*Third person*

Sam was at the hideout with all the
guys, Kalin, Jack, Crow, and Yusei, as they were getting ready for another turf battle as Team Satisfaction. They went on to the old bowling alley as Sam easily took down one of their members without even really trying. But Sam's outfit was different than that of the guys. She wore her ripped blue jeans with black belt; black boots; blue, spaghetti strap tank top that exposed her midsection; black, fingerless gloves; brown arm belts on her upper arms; and her Team Satisfaction vest that was the same length of her shirt with a belt around the bottom to hold it in place right under her shirt.
Sam chuckled. "Too easy." She said.

"Don't get too cocky, girly."

"What are you talking about?"

"While we were dueling, the other members set up a trap in the bowling alley. It should go off any minute now!"

Sam gasped. "No!"

The crimson redhead quickly ran into the bowling alley as she saw the ceiling right above Yusei was about to come crashing down on top of him. She then saw it loosen and get ready to fall.
"YUSEI!!!!" She ran as fast as se could, ramming into him as he was shoved forward, landing on his side as everything fell.
