Yu-gi-oh 5D's: Over the Nexus
Genre: Adventure/friendship/romance
Authors note: This is one of my first fanfics so I apologize in advance if this is horrible. I will try to update on a weekly basis but I cannot make any promises. This story is based on the story mode of Yu-gi-oh 5D's World Championship 2011. There will be some filler and romance of my own creation throughout the story. Also the main character/deck is based on my character/deck in the game. However, I will not decide on who will be paired romantically with my character. That will be up to the readers (details for this will be at the end of the chapter). Otherwise, please enjoy.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Yu-gi-oh 5D's, its characters, settings, or storyline.
In an unknown location…
"Perhaps that fate cannot be avoided. In the history the man creates, can we not escape destruction?" a large man laments solemnly.
A young man replies. "That's why the three of us came back here, is it not?"
The third being, a boy answers. "We still have time. Let's just relax and focus. Bwahahahahaha!" he laughs.
Meanwhile…
The wind blowing around me. The scenery flying past. The cheers of the crowd seem faint compared to the racing of my heart in this moment. Just me and my opponent in the final stretch. I edge forward past my opponent and cross the finish line first. The crowd goes wild!
"The moment you have all been waiting for has arrived! Who could have predicted things would turn out the way they have?! Was this fate? Was this destiny? Was it nothing more than pure chance? No! This is the product of hard work and never giving up!"
The MC addresses the crowd, but I barely hear him. The adrenaline rush from what I had just accomplished coursed through me like a raging river. I had just become a champion Turbo Duelist!
"From Crash Town, she has fought her way up the ranks showing unbelievable courage and spirit! And her name is…"
Suddenly, the MC, the crowd, the noise all fades away. I hear a familiar voice calling my name.
"… …Sarah… …Sarah…! … … … …Sarah!" Wait a minute. That Grandpa's voice. "Are you not EVER gonna wake up or what?!" Wake up? Am I asleep?
I blink. When I open my eyes I find myself at home in bed. Of course. It was all a dream. I reluctantly get out of bed and get ready for the day before facing Grandpa. All the while, still thinking about that dream.
"FINALLY! I thought you were actually dead there for a minute! What's wrong with you today? It's me Klaus! I bet you were probably thinking about being a hot shot turbo duelist again, weren't ya?" I don't have to tell him that he hit the nail on the head because he sees it clear in my eyes and scolds me for it.
"I know you've been saying you want to be a turbo duelist in the City, but that's nothing but a fantasy. Anyway, I'm going to work. I've gotta go dig up Dyne from the mine. Dyne is necessary to make Duel Runners run, and excavating it is how we make our living around here. Anyway, I'll be back later. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Your deck I on top of the table. A real duelist will always keep his deck by his side, no matter what."
With that, he leaves. I pick up my deck and duel disk from the table. I decide to visit my friends today, so I head out myself. You see, I live here in Crash Town with Grandpa Klaus. It looks just like one of the towns you see in old-time western movies, small town in the middle of nowhere. And as you probably figured out from Grandpa, the people here make their living by digging Dyne out of the nearby mine. It's not the greatest life, but I'm determined to become a turbo duelist and get out of this place. No matter what Grandpa says, I'll be a great turbo duelist. Someday.
Authors note: As I said before, I am leaving the OC pairing blank for now because I want you, the reader, to decide. Please tell me in your reviews who you would like to see the main character with and I will tally the results. Keep in mind that this will not always be open. I will stop taking ideas after the fourth chapter is posted. Also, I will only accept strait pairings. No yuri. With that said, please read and review. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but please don't flame.
