"Alright, looks like it's time to go…" Yusei looked at his friends. Arianna rode with Crow, whilst Rose rode with Yusei, holding on as best as she could.
"I'm ready!" Johnny grinned, revving the engines of what appeared to be a new D-Wheel, constructed for the purpose of Johnny's use. Due to a lack of available resources, it looked almost worthless, but because of Yusei's experience as a mechanic, it was a well-working machine indeed! It was colored red - because Johnny chose the color design and worked on it himself - with several flame-like designs along the sides of the machine. At the tip appeared to be a pair of wings could be shown like a tattoo, in homage to Johnny's Birthmark.
"Let's get rolling already, Yusei!" Crow whooped, laughing a bit as he revved his Black Bird's engines.
Yusei smiled and nodded his head as their D-Wheels all launched off, driving to their next destination; back to Neo Domino City. He had a strange feeling that the fifth Signer would lie waiting there. Maybe the Crimson Dragon is telling me that the last one is waiting for us in Neo Domino City…? He looked at his right arm, seeing it flare to life. Crimson Dragon… you tell me these things, but I can't understand them completely. Am I wrong to think you placed the last Signer in Neo Domino City…?
"Heh, yo!" Regis called out in a room of pure darkness. As suddenly as his voice echoed, small sparks of light suddenly flared, looking like clusters of stars in the night sky! "You're always doing that…" he muttered as he took a step forward, and witnessed a single orb flying to a different part of the room, its light slowly dying out. The darkness of the room suddenly transcended into a different color, looking a slight purple.
"You have returned… Cepheus…" a voice rang out suddenly, and Regis turned to look at where it came from. He saw a throne and grinned.
"Yeah, I'm back…" he bowed, and kneeled down, resting on one knee as he looked at the throne. "I've returned after I sent Jack Atlas to the darkness…" he explained, grinning confidently.
"Good…" the voice said as the shadowy figure slowly began to stand up, revealing a small portion of their face. It appeared to be male with navy blue eyes and long, ragged hair falling down his shoulder. "You've done me well, Cepheus…" he chuckled as he crossed his arms, his eye lazily looking over to a cluster of stars that took on a shape, almost like that of "V"-like shape.
"What's up? You're looking at that Constellation… Wait… could it be…?" Regis had a look of surprise, almost as if he knew what was happening.
"Yes… It appears as if she's ready…" the apparent leader answered as he took a step forth, almost carefully trying to not reveal any other features that belonged to him. He placed a hand forward, revealing a human-like hand with several battle-scars all over it. "Come forth, daughter of the King… Your time is now, demolish all enemies who stand before your creator!" he clenched his hand into a tight fist. The "V"-like constellation suddenly flared to life, and the orbs of light suddenly shone multiple different colors. "Descend before us, awaken in this period of time: the beauty of the stars, Andromeda!" he commanded as the constellation's orbs suddenly ascended into the air, aligning themselves into a straight line. Black feathers suddenly came from the throne, surrounding the six orbs with four ring-like formations of the feathers. Suddenly, the room became dark, and the sound of ripping could be heard.
"Heh, looks like we've got another in our numbers…" Regis couldn't help but to chuckle to himself as the room flared back to life, and the constellation was no longer there, along with the feathers and orbs.
"Now, she'll simply find the host that matches her waves, and she'll simply take them over" the leader answered, looking at Regis again. "Cepheus, I need you to find Corvus… tell him it's his time now. He must not fail me! The darkness is begging… it wants more! Bring the darkness another treat!" he said immediately, commanding with the voice of a mighty ruler.
"Heh, sure, why not. I needed to see some more action anyway…" Regis stood back onto his two feet, and bowed. "I'll be sure to tell him what you said… Iblis" he grinned as he vanished into a dark light.
Their wheels screeched as they were riding down the highway leading closer and closer to Neo Domino City. Crow looked at Yusei with a grin, as they were approaching the city now. The two of them exchanged glances, remembering that they used to live with Zora before the WRGP ever began, and they had quite the fun time; Jack was always off, buying 3,000 Yen Blue-Eyes Mountain, his favorite coffee, Crow was working as Black Bird Delivery, delivering mail to all of his customers.
Crow was the one who would get the money necessary to continue funding Yusei's project to make their D-Wheels faster. It was all thanks to Bruno and Yusei that their D-Wheels were so fast, but that was such a long time ago. Remembering Jack hurt them on the inside, but it was inevitable to think back on memory lane, despite their current situation.
"Pay attention to the road, or get us killed" Rose killed the moment with her cold commentary.
Crow glared at Rose, and then muttered "Why'd she have to come along anyway… it's not like she welcomed us in the first place…" As he was riding, he continued grumbling several other things about Rose.
"Appreciate the fact that she ain't killing us" Johnny chimed in with a grin. The entire group laughed it off, except for Rose, who remained to look calm and quiet as she usually did. She simply glared at Johnny for the joke he pulled, only giving him a death glare before looking away once more. What is it that she's thinking? I mean, really… He couldn't help but to feel somewhat conscious of it.
Sometime Later…
Their D-Wheels screeched as they calm to a halt, stopping in front of a large, almost fear-instilling building. This was the Public Security Bureau's headquarters, a place most people were scared of, but now it was a place where people could feel safe if they ever felt full of fear.
"So, what're we here for?" Johnny asked, raising an eyebrow as his D-Wheel silently turned off.
"We're here to see Director Yaegar, he might be able to tell us if anything seems… different…" Yusei explained, crossing his arms as that sentence finished coming out of his mouth.
"Different?" Johnny raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, because a Signer is normally awakened by extreme conditions, so a Riding Duel is commonly known for pushing someone to their extreme limits. Once that's been accomplished, their Signer Mark appears, and glows" Yusei explained, all of this coming off his personal experiences, as well as what Rex Godwin had explained to him back when the Dark Signers were a threat to the peace of New Domino City.
"I see… so when you were Dueling me for Meteo-Rage Dragon, were you actually trying to push me to my extreme?" Johnny asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No, you weren't intentional. You were one of those anomalies that I never calculated for" Yusei answered smiling at Johnny. "However, I'm actually glad you were a Signer, I'm sure Crow was going to miss your company."
"Hey, I would've done fairly well without him!" Crow argued, raising a fist as he laughed with Yusei. The two were truly a sight to behold, a bond that was born of their hardship of living in the Satellite.
Rose didn't speak, all she did was watch them all laugh. She then looked at Johnny with a glare, but he didn't notice the somewhat hateful look she was giving him. What's the matter with this idiot? I acknowledge his strength and all, but… He's still such a weakling! How did I lose to someone like that? Could fate be smiling down on him?
Johnny looked at Rose, and then raised the peace sign with a grin. "Hey, you should contribute your part to this conversation" he wound up saying to her, dodging the death glare that she was giving him and all.
"And why should I converse with you people about things that don't concern me the least bit?" Rose responded, crossing her arms as she gave Johnny that same glare that she gave to those she'd killed previously.
"It's 'cause we're all friends here, you should really contribute" Johnny answered her, still grinning. "Remember, if you feel like you've got no one else to go to, you've got us! We'll always be there for ya…" he spoke in the lightest tone just now, as if it were meant for only Rose to hear.
"Wait, so we're here to see police?" Arianna questioned. She never had much luck with police, since they always pulled her over for nothing, but they themselves didn't know that she didn't do anything wrong.
"Just the Director, after that, we can head off to the Satellite" Yusei answered with a smile.
"Yusei, wouldn't it be easier if we split up right now?" Crow asked, raising an eyebrow.
"How so?" Yusei asked, a little surprised that Crow had asked that.
"Yeah, you guys can search here in New Domino City while Johnny and I search in the Satellite?" Crow asked, grinning.
"Hm… That makes a little bit of sense, it'd let us cover more ground in less amount of time" Arianna pointed out.
"Crow, you sure you really wanna drag me to the Satellite? I don't even know what goes on in there…" Johnny sweat dropped. He suddenly tried to imagine what the Satellite looked like; it looked like some kind of paradise to him, somewhere where everyone wanted to go, but then he suddenly remembered Crow.
He remembered that Crow was originally born in the Satellite, and he looked like a total ruffian today. The image of a perfect paradise immediately fled on it's own, and was replaced with what looked like the aftermath of a garbage dump being shut down. "Aw man, you're taking me somewhere crappy, aren't you?" he complained.
"Hey, the Satellite ain't crappy!" Crow responded to Johnny with complete offense. Of course he wouldn't find it 'crappy' because he lived there most of his life, but he made the best of it there, despite the poor living conditions in the Satellite.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Johnny immediately reacted, placing his arms in front of him as if to block a punch from Crow.
"Hehe" Crow chuckled at Johnny, grinning at the reaction he received from his good friend. "Just joshin' ya man. I dunno why you would think I'd beat your ass for that?" he asked.
"Er… 'cause it's where you were born…?" Johnny answered with an embarrassed sweat drop. He didn't even know that Crow was kidding, and now he felt completely stupid.
Yusei couldn't help but to chuckle at his friends, their back-and-forth always somewhat entertained him. "I guess if everyone agrees to split up, then we're fine" he instructed as he looked at Arianna. She's already agreed to it, and gave good reason for us to split up… He looked at Rose, noticing how she didn't seem to be paying attention to the conversation but more to Johnny with what appeared to be silent rage in her eyes. I don't think letting her near him is the best idea just yet…
"I guess I could agree with that… I mean, we're just gonna head to the Satellite and back, right?" Johnny questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, we're not making any pit stops half way through, so you better empty your bladders before we go!" Crow cheerfully grinned.
"Right…" Johnny smiled with a sweat drop.
"So it's decided then, we'll temporarily split up" Yusei said as he nodded his head. "Crow… be careful" he said with a serious tone as he turned to the Public Security Bureau.
"Dude, I've got Johnny, and remember who you're talking to… You're talking to the Crow-sama, nothing's gonna get me or Johnny without me putting up a fight!" Crow reassured Yusei with his classic grin and threw a fist pump towards Yusei.
"…" Yusei couldn't help but to smile. "I see" he said before walking into the Bureau, followed by Arianna and Rose.
Arianna turned around and waved at both Johnny and Crow, "I wish you two luck. May Mother Nature guide you!"
Both Crow and Johnny revved their D-Wheels and drove off, heading towards the Daedalus Bridge once more, this time with the intention to head to the Satellite. The two looked at one another, both of them grinning. Their eyes told them that they were gonna have somewhat of a fun adventure in the Satellite, and even the destination itself sounded like it would have 'adventure' written all over it.
