SUMMARY: Everyone thought it was to be a normal day. Jack broody, Crow annoying, Yusei trying to stop everyone from killing each other, and Bruno... Well being Bruno. But when Jack doesn't come back, the gang get nervous, Carly especially. When they find Jack, they're shocked to hear what happened, even if he can't remember. And with the rising stakes and danger lurking everywhere, their friends' predicament couldn'tve come at a worse time...

Disclaimer: As you know, I do not own Yugioh 5D's (Or Yougert dip 5 c vitamins, as my friends mock.) If i did, I'd make Jack the main character.

"Who do you think you're talking to, bird brain?"

"I don't know. No one remembers washed up celebrities."

"At least I am someone. You've always and will always be a nobody that NOBODY cares about!"

"Watch it Atlas! Don't think I can take you down?"

"I know you can't, runt! We've always had to take care of you like a child cuz you can't fend for yourself."

"At least I didn't betray my friends! I would never stoop so low!"

"That was a different me! Why can't you just accept that moron!"

"Because you're still the same! You're egotistic, stubborn, rude, mean, and you can barely do anything!"

"Watch it dimwit. Jack Atlas can do and will do whatever he pleases."

"Here you go again. I I I. Me me me. Is that all you think about, Jack?"

"Is there a problem guys?" Yusei asked, walking casually into the garage where the teens were quabbling, Bruno traveling close behind him.

The tall blond folded his arms, grunted, and stalked toward the stairs that would lead him to his chambers. That is until a voice inturrupted the silence.

"Jack's just being an idiot. Talking bout himself again. He's trying to convince me, but he's not really convincing me he's changed much. So-" Crow did not hear the knuckles crack, nor saw the older blond even turn around. All Crow knew was that he was being hurtled, flew into a wall, and his head thumping loudly against it. Then he saw his attacker through blurred eyes.

"Jeez man! What do you-" Crow was about to smart off again, when he felt he was being pulled off the ground by the front of his shirt. He saw the face of an infuriated Jack Atlas, his violet eyes burning in their sockets.

"JUST... SHUT... UP... BEFORE... I... KILL... YOU!" Jack yelled, obvious that it was hard to keep his language from flying into furious cursing.

He threw the younger boy to the ground, and jumped from him to his duel runner in seconds.

"Crow are you okay?" came from a worried Bruno.

"Jack, what was that about?" came from an angered Yusei.

Jack said nothing for a moment, anger still riled up within him. He wanted to strangle the little bird lover.

"He needs to learn how to fend for himself. Cuz if he doesn't learn to keep his big mouth shut, he can get into some serious trouble some day. Even get killed. Not that I would mind." Jack said, putting on his helmet.

"Jack!" Yusei hissed.

"Go fall of a cliff or something, Atlas! No one will miss ya!" Crow shouted angrily, a bump already forming on his head.

"Uhh-uhh C-Crow. Don't say anything." Bruno stuttered. 'Pacifist.' Jack thought.

"As long as you come with me and I have the parachute, then I will!" Jack muttered darkly, revving up his duel runner, and speeding out of the garage as fast as he could.

"Good riddence." Crow thought, before fainting.

Jack was ripping through the Gatlin Highway several times over the speed limit. He just wanted to kill that little...

Suddenly, a voice said something that ripped him from his revine. He didn't even notice someone was riding next to him.

"You Jack Atlas?" the dark voice asked, and Jack couldn't see the mans' face through their tinted helmets. But he could see the red and black duel runner that he sat on.

"Yeah. Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but if I could be alone to let myself not talk for a while, that would be wonderful." Jack said as calmly and as passively as he could.

"Well, that's the thing..." the man said suspiciously, and through the darkness Jack could see he was pulling out something from his pocket. Jack looked at the mysterious man, just in time to see him pull out a gun.

"You're not gonna need much talking." the man said, just as Jack put on the brakes. He came to a screeching hault, and then started to navigate backwards. 'Thank god no ones on the highway.' he thought.

As if on cue, the man started following after him, going straight on. Jack didn't know what else to do but jump from the runner.

He tumbled, and in a sudden blur, he saw the man point the gun directly to the runner. Within seconds of the gunshot, the engine bursted into flames, sending metal pieces and bits of parts everywhere.

Jack ducked away from the blast, feeling its heat as fire erupted on the vehicle. The man rolled up behind him, and got out a different gun. He wondered what the need was for.

Jack realized he was trapped. Utterly and completely trapped. He couldn't run, he'd catch up. He couldn't jump, then he'd surely die, or drown. So there he was on the highway floor, held by gunpoint. He had never imagined dying this way.

"What do you want?" Jack asked sternly. The cyclist took off his helmet, and Jack realized he knew his attacker.

"J-Johnathan?" Jack muttered, and the evil face grinned. The attackers eyes glowed blood red in the fires light. His black hair was shaggy. Jack noticed the criminal markers that were on his face. He knever thought of Johnathan Heartly as a criminal.

"What do I want? Jack, I think you know the answer. I want revenge." Johnathan stated, malice in his tone. Just as Jack was going to ask what for, Johnathan raised his gun to Jack's chest.

"And I always get what I want." Heartly said, before he pulled the trigger.
