Hi. I'm lukichan13, and this is my first story! This story takes place in the Yu-gi-oh! 5D's world, with original characters and characters based off of other characters.

The main character here is the narrator. Named Coco. She is based of off Coco from another anime. So... here is the disclaimer!

Lukichan13 does not own Yu-gi-oh 5D's.

Running. That was all I could do. Just keep going, and you're free, I thought, forcing my legs to push faster.

The floor was cold under my bare feet. I had to leave my shoes behind at the first corner I turned; they slowed me down.

I had to keep running. If I slowed down, they would catch me.

Sector Security.

The horrible people that sent me to that place called the Facility. I'd been in and out of that place every year since I was thirteen, for stupid stuff for stealing Runner parts and stealing cards.

I had five criminal marks. This was my final and fifth escape.

The sound of Sector Security's Duel Runners echoed behind me. Far away, but getting closer.

Remember what Crow said, I thought.

'Keep going straight. Turn left at a wide door. Find your Runner and get out of there. I'll be waiting at the Enforcers' hideout.'

Okay, no pressure… I picked up my speed even more now, my eyes wide and alert for that door. Finally…

There it was.

"I found it, yes," I whispered under my breath. I took the left turn.

There were thousands of Runners. I had to find mine, named Shadows of the Dawn.

I scanned the area. My Runner was nowhere to be seen. I headed farther in. A shine caught my eye.

To the very left of me was my Runner.

Suppressing the urge to squeal like a little kid, I climbed onto my Duel Runner.

"Let's rev up this baby," I said, turning on the engine. My black and yellow Runner whirled to life. The sound of the engine purring pleased me. I slowly cruised to my exit.

They had gotten closer.

I had to dash out only seconds before they passed my door. If they caught me, I'd never see the light of day again… or Crow again…

I revved my engine. Only three seconds away now… two…one…

I zoomed out.

"There she is!" called the first guard.

"Let's nab her this time. I don't want another layoff for not catching these Satellite criminals," said the other, purely annoyed that I'd gotten away many times before.

"That's only if you can catch me, creeps!" I shouted, activating the Hi-Booster chip on my Runner, and I zoomed ahead, helmet-less, letting my blond-yellow hair fly behind me.

Apparently, Guard Numero Uno caught onto what I was doing and yelled out, "Dude, she's heading for the exit to New Domino City!"

Nice work, smart one, I thought, laughing about how stupid this guy was.

Number Two made a noise that sounded like he was pulling out a walkie-talkie. He spoke quickly, but audible. "HQ. Shut down all gates to New Domino immediately. We've got some Satellite punk trying to escape."

Oh no.

The gate in front of me was rapidly closing.

"Ha ha! Looks like you're gonna be stuck here, missy!" Guard Number One laughed hysterically.

"Not if I have anything to do about it," I said deviously. I was about 20 feet from the gate, which was almost halfway closed now.

I can make it. Let's see this blackbird fly!

I slammed on the gas, revealed my Runner's wings and…

Yay! Cliffhanger! Hopefully chapter 2 will be up tomorrow.
