HELLO Everybody! To all my fans out there, I decided to have 3-5 short stories as Sequels to Searching for Eden. They will be shorter chapters with Short Duels with only about 10 chapters each. I do this to focus on the characters I haven't really focused on in Duelist of the Roses or Searching for Eden, and on top of that I can add more exciting stories to the lore of my Epic tale. After these Short Stories are done There will be a Final Story and I will finish off the Rose Guardian Saga.
This Story focuses on Jeremy Griffan and Makoto Nagato.
The Following story is work of Fiction. Any relation to any real People, Places, or refernces are purely coicidental. The Characters and copy right cards of Yugioh 5D's do not belong to us.
*Great American Ballpark, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, 1:38 PM LST*
A Regional Duel Tournament, the Red Cup, was being held at the Great American Ball Park today. The Tournament is specific for duelists in Ohio and Kentucky. Jeremy Griffan was in the middle of the final duel against his opponent.
Jeremy (LP 3500) Opponent (LP 700)
Jeremy had Mystical Origin Dragon (Lv.8 3200/3000) and Magical Esper (Lv.10 3400/2500) on the field while his opponent had Millennium Shield (Lv.5 0/3000) and Wall of Illusion (Lv.4 1000/1850) in defense mode.
"Now, Magical Esper will attack your Millennium Shield!" Jeremy ordered his card to attack.
Magical Esper shot orbs of light at Millennium Shield and destroyed it, which caused Jeremy's opponent to cringe.
"Yaaaaay! Go, Jeremy! Woohoo!" Makoto Nagato cheered in the stands while her sister, Yuki Nagato, was sipping out of a soda straw. "He's got this in the bag, Yuki. Let's go down and congratulate him.
Yuki simply nodded. The girls got up from their seats and walked back to the concession stands and around the stadium-
AAAAAHHH!
A girl's shrieking scream turned everyone's attention toward her. The girl was on the ground, with her arm covering her face for protection while a man stood over her, wielding a very big knife and he looked possessed.
"The blood of the pure, the blood of the risen, steal his blood and break the prison." The man kept chanting repeatedly chanting to himself as he went after the girl.
A couple of guys grabbed onto the man to hold him back. Makoto then rushed to the girl to see if she was all right. Luckily, the knife only cut a part of her sleeve with no injuries.
"Miss, are you all right?" Makoto asked the girl.
"Yeah, I think I'm all right." The girl said, lowering her arm. As soon as she lowered her arm, Makoto saw her face and felt she looked familiar.
"What's your name?" Makoto asked.
"Trinity. Trinity Platinum." She introduced herself. "Wait, weren't you...?"
"The blood. The blood. THE BLOOD!" The crazy guy shouted. He looked like he was having a seizure as his body was shaking violently, his mouth was foaming and in a very second, he stopped and his skin turned to dust. The guys holding him back dropped him as all that was left of him were his bones and the clothes he was wearing and Makoto noticed that round the guy's arm was a Rift armband.
"The Rift?" Makoto wondered.
"I just want this to stop." Trinity said. "That is the sixth guy who tried to murder me in public, muttering the same thing.
"Why would-"
"Congratulations, Jeremy Griffan, for winning the 7th annual Red Cup!" The PA announced.
"Here, come with us." Makoto said as she helped Trinity off the ground. "Come, Yuki." Makoto took Trinity away while Yuki followed, simply sipping out of her cup.
The Girls then met up with Jeremy near the contestant entrance.
"An attack in broad daylight?" Jeremy asked as Makoto brought Trinity to him. "And by the Rift? Trinity, what have you been doing after we graduated?"
"Nothing!" Trinity responded. "I've been participating in regional and local tournaments."
"Well, you must have done something to piss the Rift off." Jeremy said. "Either that or you've got a very rare card you want."
"I never did anything to piss them off and Endymion's my best card, and he's not even that rare." Trinity told them.
"That man was acting strange." Yuki said with stoic face. "Do Rift members usually try to kill people?"
"Not in public." Makoto mentioned. "At least, I don't think. Come to think of it, I don't know how the Rift really works."
The four stood around in thought.
"If this is Rift, Edwards would probably know." Yuki stoically said after the silence.
"Clyde Edwards?" Makoto wondered. "I hate that guy!"
"Well, if they're doing something, he'd probably know." Jeremy said. "He's being held in New York's MSP. We got to go there if we want to talk to him."
"Well, if we're going after him, we should probably get Colin and the others." Makoto brought up.
Jeremy then took Makoto by the shoulders and pulled her aside. "Bad idea." Jeremy mentioned.
"Huh? Why?" Makoto asked for an explanation.
"Do you think it is a good idea to get Colin anywhere his ex-girlfriend?" Jeremy asked Makoto. "Especially with a kid on the way? His focus needs to be at home. He can't come along and start wondering 'what if'."
"Oh, good point." Makoto realized.
Jeremy then turned back to Trinity and Yuki, who were just standing there.
"Okay, we'll lead you out and head to the airport." Jeremy told Trinity the plan.
"No, Jeremy, you don't have to do this." Trinity insisted. "I'm sure I'll be fine if-"
"Are you seriously telling me this right now?" Jeremy asked, annoyed. "Cut the crap and let's go."
"Um, okay." Trinity said.
"I'm going, too." Yuki just said.
"Why?" Jeremy asked.
"I'm bored and have nothing else to do." Yuki plainly answered.
"Well, with logic like that, how can I argue?" Jeremy jokingly responded. "Come on lets go."
They went to leave. The Tournament was over so Jeremy picked up his trophy. They exited through the park entrance only to see that another Rift goon was waiting for them.
"The blood of the pure, the blood of the risen, steal his blood and break the prison." he chanted. "The blood of the pure, the blood of the risen, steal his blood and break the prison. The blood of the pure, the blood of the risen, steal his blood and break the prison. The blood of the pure, the blood of the risen-" he continued on. He had a Duel disk as if he was expecting a duel.
Makoto stood in front of Trinity to Protect her and Jeremy readied his duel disk.
"So you wanna duel huh?" Jeremy asked. "Fine by me!"
Rift Goon (LP 4000) Jeremy (LP 4000)
"I'll start!" Jeremy said as he drew his first card. "First, I'll summon Stone Statue of the Aztecs (Lv.4 300/2000) in defense mode! Then I'll set two cards face-down and end my turn!"
The Rift goon drew his first card, still mumbling that chant repeatedly, although he is saying it more quietly than before. He then summoned Gene-Warped Warwolf (Lv.4 2000/100) and equipped it with Horn of the Unicorn, which increased its attack points by 700. Although he was still mumbling the chant, he supposedly declared an attack on Jeremy's monster, which was destroyed by the Warwolf's attack. Then he set one card face-down and ended his turn.
Jeremy drew his next card. "First, I'll summon Summoner Monk (Lv.4 800/1600)! Then I'll use his ability to summon a Level 4 card from my Deck and I choose the Tuner Rose, Warrior of Revenge (Lv.4 1600/600)! Now I tune them together to Synchro Summon Mystical Origin Dragon (Lv.8 3200/3000)! Now he'll attack your Warwolf! And since a Spellcaster declared an attack, I can activate the Trap Magician's Circle to summon a Spellcaster with 2000 or less attack points! I choose to summon Magician's Valkyria (Lv.4 1600/1800)! You can also summon a Spellcaster from your Deck as well."
The Rift goon summons Anarchist Monk Ranshin (Lv.4 1800/100).
"Well, since there are 2 other Spellcasters on the field, my Dragon gains 100 attack points for each of them!" Jeremy pointed out. "Now continue your attack on Gene-Warped Warwolf!"
The Rift Goon activated Two-Pronged Attack, which destroyed both his Warwolf and his Anarchist Monk along with Jeremy's Dragon.
"That's a bit of a downer, but I can now attack you directly with Valkyria!"
Magician's Valkyria fired a magical blast at the Rift Goon and dealt him 1600 points of damage.
Rift Goon (LP 2400) Jeremy (LP 4000)
"I'll end my turn with one card face-down!" Jeremy ended his turn.
The Rift goon drew his next card and Special Summoned the Tuner Egotistical Ape (Lv.5 1200/1200) by discarding Key Mouse from his hand. Due to the Ape's effect, the Level was decreased by the Level of Key Mouse, making it a Level 4 Tuner. Then he summoned Lock Cat (Lv.3 1200/1000) and used its effect to Special Summon Key Mouse from his Graveyard. Then he tuned his Level 4 Egotistical Ape with the Level 3 Lock Cat and Level 1 Key Mouse to Synchro Summon Lightning Tricorn (Lv.8 2800/2000). Lightning Tricorn then attacked Magician's Valkyria and destroyed her, inflicting Jeremy with 1200 points of damage.
Rift Goon (LP 2400) Jeremy (LP 2800)
The Rift Goon then ended his turn.
*This guy is dueling like he's not in his right mind.* Jeremy thought to himself. *It's almost like someone is controlling him... Like someone is pulling his strings... Marcantus must be behind this somehow!* "First, I reveal my face-down Call of the Haunted to bring back Mystical Origin Dragon! Then I activate my other face-down Maternal Spirits! I equip this card to my Dragon and his power increases for each card of the same type in my Graveyard! There are two Spellcasters in my Graveyard, so my Dragon gains 200 points for each of them! Then I Normal Summon Cold Enchanter (Lv.4 1600/1200)! Now Mystical Origin Dragon will attack your Tricorn!"
Mystical Origin Dragon fired a mystical energy stream at Lightning Tricorn and destroyed it, inflicting the Rift Goon with 800 points of damage.
Rift Goon (LP 1600) Jeremy (LP 2800)
"Now Cold Enchanter will finish you off!"
Cold Enchanter thrusted her ice staff at the Rift Goon and reduced his Life Points to 0.
Rift Goon (LP 0) Jeremy (LP 2800)
The goon fell backward and was spasming uncontrollably. "Hail to Anubis!" He gasped as his mouth was foaming and in a very second, he stopped and his skin turned to dust.
"Now that's how you make an exit." Jeremy said somewhat jokingly.
"What did he mean b-by Anubis?" Trinity asked timidly.
Makoto then realized something. "Jeremy, you don't think it's THE Anubis, do you? !" She asked.
"What? You think the Egyptian God of Death is actually alive to kill... you know what, I'm not even gonna finish that sentence." Jeremy responded to her question.
Trinity looked back and forth at them thinking *What the hell are these guys talking about?*
"Clyde Edwards." Yuki bluntly said.
"Yuki's right." Jeremy said. "Maybe Edwards will know why his goons are worshipping an ancient god."
