Author's Note: Hi. It's Mina not Kitty for once. Several simple reasons; 1, Kitty isn't so keen on 5Ds, 2, she's working constantly now, and 3, I'm sure it's not healthy to let her imagination lose on her poor GX stroy with that much caffine in her system.

Anyway, story summary, better than the proper summary; takes place just after Kiryu loses to Yusei but before he's resurected. Make sense? Good. Instead of finding himself in the Underworld, he wakes up in a parallel world that seems like a dream come true. Yusei's under survialance as a danger, he's living the good life in the Tops and how Crow bacame King is beyond him but it works to his advantage. It's perfect, right? Or is it just the begining? Some pairings, only faint at first but you might get stronger hints as we go on. Rating might also go up.

"Kiryu…" Kiryu blinked a few times. "Kiryu, are you ok?" He knew that voice, he was sure. "Come on, talk to us."

"Hey, you're awake," said another voice, a girl this time, not so familiar. "Sammy, make sure the twins know he's alright, they were really worried."

Twins? Kiryu groaned and pushed himself from the ground. Where was he? He glanced around. Knelt over him was a platinum blonde teenage girl. She smiled. He gazed at her green eyes for a long moment. He was sure he knew her from somewhere. He glanced her over. She was in a riding suit. That made sense, just behind her was a D-Wheel in white and turquoise to match her suit and the helmet.

"Kiryu, are you ok?" she said gently, holding him steady. "Sammy and the twins were really worried about you."

"Yeah, I think I'm ok. What happened?" he said.

"We were duelling and something snagged the wheels, we both went flying. I don't think there's any damage to the D-Wheels and I landed on Sammy, but you took a knock," the girl replied.

"Who… who are you?"

"Oh sweetie boo," she giggled. That was definitely familiar. "You must have had a nasty knock to the head. I'm Chiyo?"

"Chiyo? But you… you're dead. We were eight and you died."

"No, I went to boarding school," she replied slowly. "How hard did you bash your head? What's the last thing you remember?"

"Err… I was duelling."

"Good, yeah, you duel a lot. Who?"

Then it hit him. That black anger welled up inside him again and his hand automatically went to his forearm where his mark should have been. But instead of his pale bare skin, there was tight, smooth fabric. He glanced down. A deep blue and black riding suit, torn up no doubt by this fall. But…

"Yusei…"

"Yusei?" Chiyo repeated. "As in Professor Fudo's boy? Why the hell would he be duelling you?"

"He… he's a Signer… it's my purpose… as a Dark Signer… why does this sound crazy when I say it out loud?"

"Probably because you've just had a nasty accident and you need go home and rest up, yeah?"

"No. I'm not insane."

"No, you've got a concussion or something stupid like that."

There were footsteps coming closer and suddenly a pair of green haired kids pooped into view, both grinning at him. Wait… weren't those the two brats that defeated Demak? Rua and Ruka? Why were they worried about him? But what really caught his attention was the red head just a little way off on a black and yellow D-Wheel, a winged helmet in his hands. His steely gray eyes were clouded with worry, but there weren't any markers on his face, and his hair fell around his face instead of sticking up, and he definitely looked a lot better off, but there was no mistaking it; that was Crow.

"How is he?" the Crow look-a-like called.

"I'm not sure. He doesn't seem hurt, but he's saying some crazy things," Chiyo called back. She looked back at Kiryu. "Please tell me you remember Sammy."

"Sammy?" Kiryu muttered. Figured about right. Crow was just a nickname that stuck until no one actually knew his real name. But if this wasn't the Satellite and Crow had a family, it made sense he had a proper name. "Loud mouthed, hot blooded idiot?"

"Yeah!" the twins cheered.

"Good, at least you remember something."

"I'm not sure what I remember. You know those TV episodes where someone bashes their head and has a dream that they're in a parallel world?" They all nodded. "I think I've just had one of them coupled with amnesia. I had no idea what I remember and what was a dream."

"Bummer," Chiyo muttered, a sweet contrast to what Crow- Sammy- said in response. "Well, in that case, we need to get you home. Come on. I'll deal with your D-Wheel, you hope in the car and let me and Sammy deal with things here."

"You two can look after Kiryu, right?" Sammy said to the twins.

"Yeah."

Chiyo helped Kiryu to his feet and the twins each took a hand, dragging him away to a waiting car. The pair kept watching him. He was sure that looking after bratty children was either Yusei or Crow's job.

"Ok, why are you kids staring at me?" he muttered.

"We're just worried about you," Rua said.

"It was a really awful fall," Ruka agreed. "You might be hurt."

"I'm not, I've got a headache," Kiryu replied.

"And you don't remember anything."

"I do remember some things, I'm just not sure what. So, why did Chiyo sound so surprised when I said I thought I'd duelled Yusei?"

"Because he's a psychic duellist, no one duels him," Ruka said quietly. "No one except the other psychics in the Arcadia Movement."

"The Arcadia Movement? That's Divine, right?" They nodded just as Sammy and Chiyo got in and the driver moved off. "But since when was Yusei psychic?"

"He had a mark, remember?" Sammy laughed. "Wow, you really did take a beating, didn't you? You don't remember that big glowing red mark on his arm?"

"I think so."

"Fudo was taken to the Arcadia movement to test whether he was a danger to us or not," Chiyo explained. "It was found he was too powerful to even be locked up because of his mark. So they took his most treasured monster from him-"

"Stardust Dragon," Sammy put in. Kiryu smiled. Typical Crow behaviour. "It's in the MIDs research facility to figure out why that card did so much damage."

"Thank you, Sammy. Anyway, yes. Fudo's most beloved card Stardust Dragon would always do far more damage than his other monsters. It's not confirmed, but there are rumours that it's killed a few people. So MIDs are trying to figure out why Stardust did so much damage."

"People as dangersous as Fudo are very rare," Ruka said quietly. "So he was deported to Arcadia's hostel in the Satellite."

"The Satellite?"

"Yeah, the man made island for the loonies, murders ect… just a few miles off the bay," Rua replied.

The pair of girls sighed and shook their heads and Sammy smiled gently. Kiryu was slowly coming to grips with where he was and what was going on. It dawned on him that he was in a limo, and he was in an expensive looking outfit… he was living the good life and Yusei was in a living Hell. What more could he ask for? He just knew he was going to love this new world.
