This is my first fanfic, and hope you'll like it too. Now this story, mostly an AU like you call it. It will be in an era where dragons co-exist, learning the ways what humans do and also letting them ride on them. There probably will be magic involved, but I haven't really thought that through, so for now no. Well anyways, enough about that, let's get on with the story. And hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh5Ds, only the plot to this story.
Take Flight!
They always say "Girls aren't allowed to ride dragons. It isn't their nature to do it. They should stay home and be like every good housewife should be." They, meaning the towns' folk, the senators, the whole world. Why can't they understand how I feel...The sky is like a magical place where there are no restrictions, no rules, no one to tell you such and such, just a vast continuous road over the horizon. A place where someday I would like to be.
"Aki! Get up! You are late for the Miss Annual Woman today!" a woman voice shouted, and quite angry it sounded too.
"Urgh...I don't want to go...stupid Miss Woman crap. Who would be lame enough to even go there anyway?" Aki said. She was still dressed up in her pajamas, red rose design. Her hair was tied back into a semi-ponytail.
Like any lady, that is to be the age of 17, should aquire a pass to enter the Miss Woman of the year. It is a tradition in Giruvegan Town, a town where beautifull garden flowers grow.
"Aki, I will not tell you again! Get up now!" the woman said.
"Alright, alright! You don't have to shout!" Aki shouted. 'Great now I'm shouting too' she thought. She was rummaging through her drawers to see what to find to wear. She found a nice rosey colored skirt. And a green checkered blouss. She put on black sandles, good she was all prepared now...for the lame tradition.
The red head desended downstairs to meet her mentor or rent owner. It was strange for the woman to be treating her like she was her daugther, but since she didn't have any I guess it would make sense.
"Aki, what do you think you are wearing?" inspecting her.
"A skirt and a blouss?"
"That's not what you should be wearing! You'll be kicked out before they can even check you!"
"What's the big deal? I hate that stupid Miss Woman crap. I hated that every year! And I'm sick of it too."
"Aki! Do you want me to kick you out of here?" the woman said.
"I'd rather get kicked out than go to that interview" she said.
"Well, I'd be gladly to kick you out myself. You always have been a spoiled brat when I first met you, and you still are."
"Hey, take that back old lady!" Aki shouted.
"No, and I suggest you pack up your things and go already. This town doesn't needs you or your rude attitude" she said.
With that, Aki was already heading upstairs to pack up her things, away from this woman. When she finished packing of whatever it was necessary, she desended yet again downstairs, past the woman and straight out the door.
"No one ever likes me here. The men all treat us women like crap. The older women think they have the suppirior authority to treat us just like the men do. It just irritates me!" she mummbled to herself. She saw a few men staring at her like she was crazy.
"If only there was a way to get out of here? I can't get on a boat, I don't have the money. And I can't even ride on a dragon, because I'm not even allowed to. Besides, I don't know where to sleep for the night, maybe I should of kept quite" she said to herself.
"Yo! Yusei! You ready to set sail?" a orange haired teenager said. He was wearing a brown jacket with a yellow sleeveless shirt underneath. Green pants and brown boots.
"Don't you mean 'take flight', Crow?" the raven haired teenager said. He was wearing a blue jet jacket with a black sleeveless shirt; a red design on it. Slate colored pants and brown boots.
"You know what I mean Yusei. So, are you ready?" said the orange haired boy.
"Yeah, but what about Jack? Shouldn't he be here right now?" Yusei said.
Suddenly a roar was heard from up from the sky. A red and black dragon was soaring through the sky with a blonde haired teenager riding it.
"Jack?" both said in unison.
"While you two were talking, I took the privilage to already get on my dragon. So what of you two?" Jack said.
"The nerve of that guy" Crow said.
"Well, at least we didn't have to wait for him, you know how long it takes him for him to get ready" Yusei said.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. Thank Kami for that" Crow sighed.
"Come on Crow, let's go straight to Giruvegan. Martha would love those flowers for her birthday" he said.
"Alright"
They both went to their respected dragons. Yusei mounted his dragon which was a white one with wings that gave out pixie-like dust when it flaps. Crow's was more of a bird-kind like dragon. It had black feathers, but it turns red when angered. As both finally reached the sky, all three soon went to Giruvegan Town.
Aki was yet walking through the streets, trying to find a way to get out of town. But since this town was normally small, yet crowded, nothing seemed to work. She wondered if she could possibly sneak inside one of the ships that took cargo to many different places, but took that to be dangerous; if someone would actually find her that is. So she decided to sit on a bench to think things through.
"Hey did you hear, they said a dragon lives on top of the mountain. But people are too scared to even go there due to the fact that there are too many thorns" said a brown haired woman.
"You don't say? I wouldn't even let my children go there. Probably that dragon must be an awful looking creature" said the other woman.
"Yeah" both laughing while strolling away.
'A dragon, huh? Maybe I'll check it out' she thought.
Minutes away, Aki was strolling through the mountain in search for the supposively dragon that lives there. So far Aki had been in tough situations due to the fact that there were many lose rocks when she climed. But never than ever, she'll soon find that dragon and finally get out of this hell-hole of a town she calls.
"The woman said the dragon is on top of the mounain, but where?" she said. She then noticed purple-like thorns around a cave entrance. "That must be it!"
She found herself walking through the cave, yet there was too many thorns to even walk through. She got a bit of scratches on her legs. When she finished walking through the thorns, she saw that she was in a crystal water lake. There were some trees that already had brighten fruit already to be plucked out. And the grass looks healthy as ever from the looks of it.
"Wow, its beautiful in here. I don't know why people wouldn't even go in here to see this magnificent beauty" she said.
'Who goes there!' a roaring voice called out from nowhere.
"Huh, who's there?" Aki said, looking around to see where that voice was coming from.
Suddenly from out of the trees, a flower-like dragon appeared. Its wings were made out of petals and in the middle a huge red rose. It had multiple of thorns coming out of its body, noticing the exact color of the thorns that were outside of the cave.
"So you must be the dragon that live's here then" Aki said. 'Heh, wait till that womans sees it. Its not such a hideous creature like she says' she thought.
'So what if I am? I protrect this place and I won't let a man ride-wait! You are not a man, you are...a woman' the dragon said. "Why has a woman like you come all the way here?"
"Because I wanted to get out of this isolated town, away from men such as these we have in this town" she said. "So that's why I seeked you out"
'But why? You know the rules of the humans, they cannot allow a woman such as you to ride me. But even if you where a man, I could no longer fly anyone'
"Why? Can you even fly?" the red head said.
'I am forbidden also...that is why I forever live in this place throughout my life' the red dragon said looking quite disappointed. Aki couldn't understand quite right, but it made her realize she was just like her. Both unable to go to the blue soaring sky, an unreachable place.
"But you could still fly right? You know, without a person that is?"
'I am chained you see' the dragon said showing the indicated place where the chain is shown. The chains were on it's legs. 'A man, not long ago cast me here when I was just a small dragon. I remember those same words back then"
'You'll stay here you worthless dragon. No one will ever ride you anyway, you'll just be a useless dragon that could no longer reach to the skyies'
"Well that's gonna change now!" Aki said.
'Huh?' the dragon was startled from her high tone.
"We'll remove your chains and step forward to our own path in which we believe in. No more miscruelty, no more laws, no more anything! You know, why because we are leaving this town!" she said pointing up in the sky. Turns out there was a big hole on top of the place.
The dragon couldn't believe what she was hearing. A mere human, especially a woman, of all the people, helping her. She could not understand, but looking how courageous she was, no human had ever gave her kindness the way she did. And it made her want to follow her, to maybe even be her true friend.
'But just how are we going to break them?'
"Easy, we just need to find a rock around here somewhere...oh! Here's one!" she said, grabbing hold of the rock. "Here goes nothing!" as she readied her possision and started banging on the chain.
"Are we almost there Yusei?" said Crow. "You know Martha's birthday isn't tomorrow, you know?"
"I know, we're almost there. We just have to get bypass this storm" He said.
"What storm?" this time Jack answering.
"The storm that you have to bypass to get to Giruvegan. That's the only way we'll reach it" he said.
"But I heard that sometimes ships carry cargo to go ship them somewhere else. How do they pass by it anyway?" Crow said.
"They just do Crow"
"This is ridiculous! Even if we do somehow get bypass the storm. How will we even carry the flowers when they are brought back?" Jack said.
"Well...that I don't know" Yusei said.
'Maybe we could sheeled them when we get back, Yusei-sama?' his dragon said.
"Or maybe we could put them in our mouths, so they won't get damaged' Crow's dragon said.
"How will we know you won't eat them" Crow said.
"Or maybe even slober on them" Jack said.
"We'll think it through you guys. We just have to get through the storm first" Yusei said, as they were headed into a now open clear view of the storm. The storm was a giant tornado, made out of water that is. Seeing as how it was clear that they were in the middle of the ocean.
"You ready Crow, Jack?" the raven head said.
"Ready as when you are, Yus" Crow said.
"Can we just think this over" said Jack. But no one heard him seeing as how all three went inside.
"You are free now!" Aki said.
'I'm acctually...free?' staring at her legs. All the chains were completely off.
"Yeah, now we could go" she said.
'Go where? The law still forbids for women not to ride, its not just in this place' the dragon said.
"Well, we'll find a place so you and me can get away from that law"Aki said. "Who knows? We might find a place without it?"
'You really think so?' the dragon said.
"Yeah, but we have to become boys out there. So that way they won't know we're female"
'But how? Male dragons don't look like they should have petal-like wings, do they?'
"Well...we'll just make something up okay" the red head said.
'How about you? You don't seem to resemble a man. And how will you hide that huge chest?'
"I'll think of something too, now come on" Aki said.
Well that's that, not sure of the ending though. Now how will Aki and her new dragon get out of Giruvegan, without them being noticed. Will Yusei and his friends be able to reach through the storm? Stay tuned to find out.
As always thank you for reading (if you did), please review. See you soon.
"Are you really a guy? You sure don't look like one?" said a tall blonde.
"Sure I am! I have boy-like similarities!" said the red head.
"Well let me see" while touching 'her' chest.
The red head tried to restrain the urge to hit the guy on his gut.
