A/N: WE DO NOT OWN ANY OF YU GI OH 5DS! ALL RIGHTS GO TO ITS CREATORS! THE ONLY THINGS WE OWN ARE OUR OCS!
bricann: Hey, guys, welcome to probably one of the weirdest Yu Gi Oh 5Ds stories ever created thus far. We applaud you for beginning the journey of seeing what goes through two strange girls' minds and see what we came up with. This is co-written with ThePegasusDevice and we both enjoy writing this. I hope you can see eventually why. Pegasus, say hi!
ThePegasusDevice: Hi! Now, no matter how weird this story may get, we hope that you stay with it and enjoy it just as we have with writing it.
bricann: We do ask that you read the entire story, because we know some of you will read the Prologue and then jump to the Epilogue when the story's done. Just read the entirety of it, because we worked really hard on this and we want you all to enjoy the entire story instead of ignoring most of our work. Besides, if you skip the ending right after the Prologue, we assure you, you will be confused to some extent.
ThePegasusDevice: With that said, let's get to the chapter, shall we?
Prologue
Forty-nine long years ago. That was when all things of order and peace fell to nothing. No one knew what to do when it happened. They just arrived and made their presence known, and people grew afraid. They knew the lore read in books about these types of people. It didn't help them feel safe.
People grew enraged out of fear and shock. They turned to killing these people who they determined were nothing more than wild animals in their eyes.
But this is not a way to explain how this world of fear and killing of another began. How the original order of the world fell into chaos. If one is to start this tale, they must begin at the event that occurred forty-nine years ago…
. . .
A group of men and a woman wearing black cloaks to hide themselves from the sun were walking through a city. As they walked, people stared at them curiously. Who were these people? Why did they wear cloaks and hide themselves?
A police officer walked up and confronted the people. "Who are you?" he asked sternly. "You are creating quite a stir here."
"Who we are is no concern of yours," the woman stated in a mysterious voice, not looking at the man. "We are just here for some… food."
"I will believe that when you remove those hoods," the officer retorted. "For now, you're coming with me for a bit of questioning." He reached for the woman, but one of the men punched him square in the chest and sent him flying back into a wall of a building. The officer slid to the ground in a daze and cringing a bit in pain. Everyone screamed in fear and panic as they ran.
"Ryou, I do not believe that was necessary. The world will know of our existence now," the woman told him.
"He was going to hurt you, Great Mother!" the man who flung the police retorted. "Our job is to keep you safe!"
"Wha-What are you?" asked a little girl from behind them.
They turned to see the a eight year old girl looking at them with wide eyed. Not full fear, but full of interest and curiosity. She could see them, being small enough to look at them from beneath their hoods. The child wore dirty and ragged clothing, making it obvious she was homeless.
"Oh, sweet child," Great Mother whispered. "We are of no harm unless you harm us."
"But what are you?" the girl asked.
"We are what you would call Vampires," Great Mother answered. "But we are not like of that within your lore of fiction. We do not eat the blood of people. We merely eat and live similar to you. We, however, only get sick when the sun hits our skin for too long. That is why we are in these hoods."
"Vampires… Do you live forever as well?" the girl asked.
"We live for a maximum of four hundred years," one of the other man answered. "Where are your parents anyway? Would they want you talking to a bunch of strange Vampires?"
"I don't have a mommy or daddy," the girl answered. "They died when I was four to a mysterious man."
'They must be the ones Taka killed in his anger four years ago,' Great Mother thought. 'I cannot let his mistake go unfixed by letting this girl live life on the streets forever.'
"Great Mother, what should we do?" another Vampire asked in a whisper. "You know her parents were killed by…"
Great Mother nodded to cut him off. "Young child, would you like a new home?" she asked the girl. "People who would accept you and love you."
"Yes," she answered. "I have wanted that for a long time."
"Then come with us, sweet child," Great Mother suggested. "We will take care of you for as long as you need."
"Back away from that girl!" the officer yelled angrily. He ran up but stopped as the girl grabbed onto the woman's arm. "Monsters! I heard what you called yourselves! Vampires?! You are beasts of night. Step away from the girl now!" He walked up and the man who had thrown him before grabbed his wrist. People were watching nervously as the officer cried out in pain for a second. He then dropped to the ground on his hands and knees in exhaustion. "Wha- What did you do to me?"
"Look at your wrist, officer," the Vampire ordered. He looked to see two fang looking like marks on his wrist. "You, now, are also a Vampire." The man froze. "You can either come with us and be with your own kind, or you can die to the sun or people in this town. The choice is yours."
"I'll die before I join you monsters," the officer retorted.
"If you wish that, very well," Great Mother responded. People began to shout words of hate and fear at them. She turned to the young girl attached on her arm. "Sweet child, what is your name?"
"Maya," the girl answered.
"Come, Maya. We will take you to a new home now," Great Mother stated.
"Okay," she agreed and held on tight as they walked through the streets and out of town.
10 Years Later…
The Vampires lived in underground ruins deep beneath the ground. It was a network of tunnels and rooms that went across the world even deep beneath the oceans. To make quick trips to other continents, the modern Vampires implanted a small train that travels back and forth at unbelievable speeds between the main caverns and others from across the world. No one who didn't know the tunnels, though, wouldn't dare to try to traverse the area. It was like a maze that only Vampires and the special could know by heart.
Now, the young girl who had become eighteen hurried towards the Great Mother who was studying books of old times in the library.
"Great Mother!" called Maya. She had been made a Vampire on her eighteenth birthday at her request.
"Oh, my sweet child," she responded. "What is the matter?"
"When will I be able to go to the surface again?" she asked. "I want to know what the world has turned into since vampires revealed themselves to the world."
Great Mother sighed. "Maya, you must understand something. Many of those I have sent in search of more food to the surface have not returned. And those who have had told me that humans are now hunting them."
"But if we keep the mark on our wrists hidden…" the girl began.
"I understand curiosity is a tempting emotion to satisfy. But even if we kept our marks hidden, what do we do about the sun? We are creatures of the night and shadows, sweet child. The sun is what kills us if we do not reach shade in time. That is why I've been switching to hunting times to night," Great Mother interrupted. "And even with that in play, my Vampires are still being killed by hunters."
"Why do they hunt us? We don't want nor try to hurt them," Maya asked.
"Fear, Maya. They are afraid of what they do not know. And what they feel they know about us is wrong," Great Mother replied. "They have always heard the tales of us which are said in human lore. Ones that eat the blood of man to survive, live forever, and kill without mercy. Even if they tried to learn the truth, they would turn back that desire due to their fear of what they would find. Humans are driven by fear nowadays."
"Aren't we?" Maya asked gently, the question shocking the Great Mother. "I mean, we're hiding in these caverns from the humans most of the time instead of looking for any food for in the winter. Isn't that because we are afraid of dying to the humans?"
"Perhaps," Great Mother replied gently. She took a deep breath. "Are you sure you are ready for the horrors that await? You know I want you to take over as the next Great Mother once I pass. We cannot afford to lose you."
"I understand, Great Mother. But I do feel that I am ready," Maya replied. "I cannot expect to lead well if I do not know the dangers on the surface."
Great Mother saw her point and nodded. "Very well," she agreed. "Dex!" Another female Vampire ran in. "You're heading to New Domino tonight, correct?"
"Yes, Great Mother," she answered.
"Take Maya with you," Great Mother ordered. "It is time she helped get some food for us."
"Yes, Great Mother," Dex agreed. She turned to Maya. "Great Daughter, come with me."
. . .
Maya, Dex, and two other male Vampires walked along the streets of New Domino. Mankind's once strong cities of civilization had degraded to villages. Fear had driven humans back into the times of old, unable to continue to live normally and as powerful as they once did now that they were engulfed in fear of vampires.
They noticed a man with a torch to light the way walking near. They immediately hid behind a building. The man walked by not noticing the ground hiding behind the wall. When he was gone and out of sight, they hurried out of their hiding spot and towards the food cellar that the humans had.
They grabbed some food and placed it in bags before running out. As the neared the town edge and their escape, something flew and stabbed into Maya's stomach from behind.
"Great Daughter!" Dex exclaimed as she fell to her knees, blood pouring out. A spike had stabbed itself through the young Vampire's stomach. Dex grabbed the eighteen year old girl and the male Vampires turned to see a man glaring from the sidewalk. They immediately glared back in anger.
"Watch what town you go to, monsters!" the man yelled.
One of the male Vampires ran up at unbelievable speeds and pinned the man to the ground in fury. "Your town will pay for what you have done. Be ready, human," he growled, the tone of voice shook the human man to the core. The Vampire threw him against a building, knocking him out. The Vampires grabbed the food and the other male Vampire carried Maya who was already too close to death to even open her eyes back to their home.
'They will pay for this,' Dex thought angrily. 'Great Mother will make sure of that.'
