Yu Gi Hime : 5Ds
A Yu Gi Oh 5Ds Genderflip
By: Storychan
Author's notes: This fic is basically what Yu Gi Oh 5Ds would be like if Yusei, Jack, Crow, Kiryu, and all the other guys in the anime were girls, and if Aki, Carly, Luna, and all the other girls in the anime were guys. It was inspired by a fanart I saw while doing a search on Google Images for Yu Gi Oh yaoi that depicted Team Satisfaction as a team of beautiful women (I don't know who it's by, sorry, but it's not mine!)
I'm going to follow the canon pretty closely on this, so canon pairings (Yusei/Aki, Jack/Carly, etc.) only. This fic will be a yaoi-less one.
I also don't own Yu Gi Oh 5Ds or any of its characters, and this is just for kicks.
Please enjoy, and don't forget to review!
Chapter 1
The crowd roared with excitement. It was time.
"Welcome to the tournament of the year!" grinned a perky announcer girl with dark hair piled high into a beehive. "With live coverage by me, your host, and my sidekick, Lola the Robot Lemur!"
How typical. If a girl was doing the hosting, the producers of the tournament show had to add some sort of gimmick. Guy hosts never seemed to require cute animal sidekicks. But then, guy hosts didn't usually have 2nd careers as idols, and this girl host did, so of course they were giving her a cute sidekick to play up her "cute starlet" image.
"Indeed. It's that time of year when our reigning championess, Jacqueline Atlas, will take on any challenger," added Lola, her words coming from a Teleprompter program.
"Let's talk about Jacqueline for a moment," the host suggested with a coy wink at the camera. "Her talent as a turbo duelist – and her cold Queen Bee, queen-of-mean attitude toward other duelists- have earned her the nickname the Ice Queen of Turbo Duels!"
"Indeed," Lola nodded mechanically. "The blonde bombshell Jacqueline is as famous for her snooty-princess attitude as she is for her seeming inability to lose a duel."
"In a guy, cockiness can be attractive," sighed the host. "But in a girl…" She stopped mid-sentence.
"Ooh! Queen Jacqueline's duel is about to start!"
The camera panned to a tall, smirking girl in her teens, whose blonde hair spilled out of her glittery helmet as she struck a pose for the camera s flashing around her. She wore a tight white sparkly riding suit that showed off all her assets- she seemed to know that her beauty was one of the reasons she'd quickly become a rising starlet in the world of turbo dueling. She seemed proud of it –no, she seemed proud, period. Her perfectly lined violet eyes cast a haughty look at the crowd who had gathered to watch her take down another man in the duel arena – some duelist guys had challenged her in hopes of enticing her with their dueling skills. But she'd defeated them all. She was the Queen, and everyone else in the world were just peons – that seemed to be her worldview.
She flashed a sexy smile at the crowd and cameras. "Alright!" she called. "Who's ready to see the Queen defend her throne? Let's get this duel started!"
The crowd screamed for her.
"Yeah! Show them who's Queen, Jacki!"
"Go!"
She seemed to relish the attention. Her eyes flicked to the night's opponent – some redheaded chick.
Oh, that's right, I dueled that ugly hag before, Jacki thought. Yawn. Does she think this time will be any different?
The turbo duel started, and she focused her attention on gaining more speed than her opponent was. The crowd, the cameras – they were forgotten. All Jacki Atlas, known far and wide as Queen Jacqueline, the Ice Queen, the Girl Who Could Not Lose, could feel was the rush of her speeding duel runner, and all she could see were the cards that she would use to crush she who had dared challenge her.
Far away from the bright glamour of the duel arena, in the lowly slum of Satellite, another girl was riding her own duel runner –a red one. A prototype. No cameras had ever flashed for that girl, nor had crowds of screaming fans ever cheered.
Unlike Jacki, this girl didn't want that – she just wanted a few things in life.
To build the fastest duel runner around was one – that was why she was out test driving this new red runner she'd finally finished building.
The other was to defeat Jacki Atlas once and for all.
The girl on the red runner didn't look like the type that could overthrow a Queen. She wasn't tall and gorgeous like Jacki. The girl's dark hair was styled short and spiky – long hair just got in the way when she was trying to experiment in her garage with engine parts. Her clothes were simple too – a blue biking jacket, jeans, and –the one really feminine thing she could feasibly wear with any frequency –a cute black midriff top she'd managed to snag at Goodwill. Growing up on the streets had made her a smart shopper as well as a smart turbo duelist. As the petite duelist girl sailed through the streets of Satellite on her prototype runner, she only had one thought on her mind: I'm coming for you, Jacki.
The girl on the red runner's name was Yuseiko Fudo.
Wow, this test run is going pretty well, Yuseiko thought with a smile. Ha! Girls CAN be great mechanics!
…but the girls are waiting for me. I'd better head home.
And so soon Yuseiko pulled the red runner into the small shack where she and her friends lived. As she hopped off the runner, her smile faded when she heard the sound of their small TV.
"With her signature card, Red Dragon Archfiend, Queen Jacki Atlas wins again!"
The words of the host of the televised tournament assaulted Yuseiko's ears as she walked in and saw the smirking face and windblown bleach blonde hair of Jacki on the TV screen her friends were clustered around.
The host thrust a microphone into Jacki's smirking , well-made-up face. "Queen Jacqueline!" she called. "Congratulations on your latest win! What do you have to say to those who swear your famous white runner is the secret to your continued success?"
Jacki grabbed the microphone out of the host's hand.
"Geez," the host muttered. "What an Amazon. Most girls can't GRAB like that…."
The camera turned away from the host and her throbbing hand to focus on Jacki's words.
"It's not the runner," growled Jacki in a decidedly uncute fashion. "It's the rider. I'll take on any duelist, on any runner, and I'll come out on top. I'm the bloody Queen, after all!"
"I dunno," said one of Yuseiko's friends, a yankee-looking girl named Blitzine. "That white runner Jacki stole from Yuseiko-chan seems to be working pretty well for her…."
Another of Yuseiko's friends, a shy, bespectacled girl named Norma, noticed Yuseiko walking in, and hushed Blitzine. "Sorry Yuseiko-chan," she muttered. "I know you hate seeing Jacki on TV."
"Especiallly since she stole your white runner," said a third friend, a pudgy girl named Tankette.
"Shut up about the runner!" chided Blitzine. "Yuseiko-chan doesn't need to be reminded of that!"
Before Yuseiko could say anything, a little girl wearing a dress that was two sizes too big for her ran in. It was Ralli, another friend of hers.
"I got you a present, Yuseiko-oneechan!" Ralli announced, her oversize hairbow falling into her eyes.
"What is it?" asked Yuseiko.
Ralli opened her hand to reveal a tiny metal device –a microchip!
"This will make your red runner faster," Ralli told Yuseiko.
"Ralli-chan," asked Norma. "Did you…..steal this?"
"N-no!" Ralli cried. "I just found it! Lying on the ground!"
"It wasn't yours to take," Norma protested. Her manicured hand fingered Ralli's cheek, pointing at a gold marker just under Ralli's eye. "You know that Sector Security can track you with that. Then we'll all get captured and marked for sure!"
As if on cue, searchlights flooded the room at just that moment.
"This is Sector Security!" a voice boomed. "We know you've got stolen goods in there, little girl!"
These guys think because we're just teen girls that they can scare us, Yuseiko thought. But I'm NOT scared of them!
She ran to her computer. A few keystrokes later, and Sector Security's tracker system was officially scrambled.
Didn't think a teen girl would be an expert hacker, did ya? Yuseiko thought to herself, grinning. "Get out of here," she told her girlfriends. "I bought you some time."
Then, she jumped on her red runner. She was going to need the speed of that stolen chip.
"Where are you going, Yuseiko-chan?" cried Ralli.
"I'm going to save us," grinned Yuseiko, and drove away in a flash. Just because I'm a teen girl doesn't mean I'm going to be a damsel in distress. she thought to herself. Time to be a hero!
As she flew down the street on her runner, she noticed a familiar Sector Security runner in her rearview mirror. The officer on it was an old enemy – Ushiko Trudge, the only lady on the force.
"Yuseiko Fudo!" Ushiko grinned, her heavily shadowed eyes glaring at her like a cat would glare at a mouse. "I've got you this time! Remind me to thank Jacki for telling me that luring Ralli-chan to that chip would be a perfect trap for you!"
Jacki did this? That bitch. I'll scratch her eyes out later."Catch me if you can!" grinned Yuseiko, speeding up. Then, she got an idea.
"I've got a proposition for you, Trudge – basan," she told Ushiko.
"Don't you dare call me "ba-san"!" griped Ushiko. "I'm not THAT much older than you!" Then, she asked, "What's your proposition?"
"Let's turbo duel," Yuseiko challenged. "If I lose, you let Ralli-chan go….."
"Which benefits me HOW?" Ushiko interrupted.
"Because," said Yuseiko. "I'll take the blame for Ralli's stealing. I'll let you take me instead."
"Yuseiko, Yuseiko, Yuseiko," smirked Ushiko. "You know that it's illegal for Satellite girls like you to own cards. Are you just that eager for a return trip to the Facility? We had so much FUN there last time, didn't we?"
Yuseiko glared. "You know taking me in will bolster your rep, Ushiko," she said. "You'll finally get some respect from the guys on the force who think you're just some useless woman who can't handle the job."
Ushiko's ears perked up.
"But if I win, however," Yuseiko grinned. "You let Ralli-chan and I both off scott free."
If my colleagues were here, Ushiko considered. They would never allow it. But since I was only supposed to bring in some little girls, they figured I didn't need backup. So they're not here to see me accept Yuseiko's challenge. What they don't know won't hurt them, right?
"I accept," decided Ushiko. "But I won't lose, Yuseiko. You built your deck from cards other people threw away! Your cards are trash. Just like you."
Yuseiko glared. "Let's duel," she snapped.
So the duel began. Ushiko summoned her Blast Dog, which Yuseiko destroyed with her Speed Amazon, a cute robot girl monster.
Then Ushiko summoned a Handcuff Dragon, and the life was squeezed right out of Speed Amazon.
Then Ushiko summoned her best monster, Montage Dragon!
"I can't wait til I win," Ushiko gloated. "It'll be so fun punishing little Ralli-chan."
"You enjoy the thought of hurting a helpless little girl?" cried Yuseiko, her blood boiling. "You sick BITCH!"
She summoned her favorite monster – Jump Synchron Girl, a robot girl monster with goggles, a cute scarf, and a metallic magical girl outfit. Jump Synchron Girl was based off another, less cute monster called Jump Synchron, like Dark Magician Girl was based off Dark Magician. It was Yuseiko's favorite monster because it was a surprisingly strong girl – just like her.
Handcuff Dragon quickly trapped Jump Synchron Girl, and Ushiko grinned, "Your trash cards aren't good enough to beat me, Yuseiko! Just like you! I thought I taught you that lesson in our last duel, on your last day at the ReEducation Center…."
Yuseiko grinned, and said simply, "I use Equip Shot."
"Equip…..what?" repeated Ushiko, blanching.
"It takes Handcuff Dragon's power," grinned Yuseiko, "and reflects it back to destroy your Montage Dragon!"
"Nooo!" cried Ushiko, losing.
"When you're just a little girl, all alone on the streets," Yuseiko told Ushiko, "you learn to be resourceful, especially in duels. Weak girls don't last out here in Satellite. They get taken advantage of, hurt, because people know they're just helpless girls. So you have to be a strong, resourceful girl to survive. I am one. That's a lesson you need to learn: Never underestimate a Satellite girl."
