Author: Hi everyone, this is my first Yugioh 5D's story. I hope you enjoy reading it, just as much as I have enjoyed writing it. No flaming, please! If you don't like it don't read it, as simple as that. However, if you do like it please make sure to either favorite or follow the story. Thanks, guys!
This is an introductory chapter to give the readers an insight of what happened during Jack's betrayal. Of course, it will be different to what happens in the original Yugioh 5D's series as I have incorporated my OC (Bianca) into the storyline.
Chapter 1 - Jack's betrayal
"Jack, please don't do this!" Bianca pleaded, desperation evident in her voice. "They're our friends, we can't just abandon them."
"Don't act like this isn't what you've always wanted Bianca," he argued, a series of frown lines forming across his forehead. "I thought you wanted to leave the satellite for good?"
"Of course I do!" She cried out. "But not like this Jack, not if it means hurting our friends."
Jack sighed heavily and ran his fingers through his hair. "Look, I know you don't like it, I don't either. Sometimes in life, you don't have a choice. At times there are sacrifices you have to make."
He slowly advanced towards her and lifted her head up from her chin. Now she was looking him directly in the eyes. There was no denying how attractive Jack Atlas was. His eyes were a beautiful shade of amethyst, his face angular and masculine in shape and his hair was blonde with long bangs that framed his face on either side. "I want you to be happy." he began softly as he gently caressed her cheek with one hand." Just imagine - Bianca Sanders a respectable citizen of New Domino City. Isn't that what you want?"
Bianca grimaced upon hearing those words. It was something that she had wanted so badly, something she thought about every single day of her life. She hated life in the satellite. There they were treated like vermin, like dirt, forced to live amongst the trash. The people of New Domino City looked down on them, saw them as lesser human beings. Not to mention the times they were harassed by Sector Security. She shuddered at the thought of it all.
"It's what I've always dreamed about." She admitted, bashfully turning away from him.
"Then come with me," Jack said looking up at her hopefully.
"Jack I -I can't."
"FUCK!" Jack cursed loudly, in his anger he kicked over a trashcan. "Bianca you're making this more complicated than it has to be. Let's leave the satellite behind and start our new life. The decision is simple!"
"No Jack, nothing about this is simple!" Bianca protested. "We're talking about leaving our best friends for our own selfish reasons. It's just not right!"
He shook his head. "It's not selfish. The boys will have each other and you'll have me." Jack then walked ahead a few steps and glanced upwards at the sky. "I'll finally be able to live my dreams of being one of the best duelists in the world. I need you to there with me, by my side."
Bianca paused for a few seconds before she said something again. "But what about Yusei..."
Jack growled in disgust and his eyes narrowed at her. "It's all about him, isn't it? Yusei, Yusei Yusei! Well let me tell you something sweetheart, Yusei doesn't care about you like I do. No matter what he says he'll always put you second, whereas I'll always put you first."
Her mouth gaped open in shock. She thought that Yusei and Jack were meant to be best friends so it was beyond her understanding why Jack would speak about Yusei this way. As far as she'd seen there had been no conflict going on between the boys and because of this Jack's spitefulness towards him made no sense.
"What happened between you two Jack?" Bianca questioned her voice full of concern. "You and Yusei used to be best friends! Did you guys have a falling out or something?"
"Nothing happened," Jack replied quietly, "It's just people change Bianca."
"But how?"
Jack exhaled deeply. "About New Domino," he said, quickly changing the topic. I'll give you some time to think about it, but I'll need an answer soon,"
Bianca responded by giving an affirming nod. She knew that if she kept questioning Jack and defended his insults towards Yusei their whole conversation would've erupted into an argument. She decided it was best to remain quiet and avoid conflict with Jack, although inside her heart she knew that she could never come to terms with leaving her friends behind, especially Yusei. Even so, she still cared for Jack and wished for him to live out his dream. All she wanted was the best for everyone.
"How much time do I have Jack?"
"Till tomorrow evening," he explained. "Meet me down by the waterfront." He took three strides towards her and pressed his lips gently on her forehead. "Think about it carefully Bianca," Jack advised. "It'll be your ticket to a new life."
Just as he had promised Jack was standing there by the waterfront the next day. He stood there, his arms folded with a stoic expression on his face, his tail coat blowing in the wind. A small smirk played on his lips as he saw her approaching him from the corner of his eye, she then ran into his embrace. As she pulled away from him they both stood in silence for a few moments.
Bianca's eye's looked out to the water. The sky over the satellite was a blanket of gray and the waves seemed to crash furiously against each other. She heard the sound of rumbling thunder, a storm must be approaching. Floating on the water was a singular wooden boat. The waves roughly tossed it side to side as if it were a child's toy. This made Bianca wonder who was stupid enough to be sailing a boat in such dangerous conditions. She knew that one the storm came the little boat would be shown no mercy and whoever was inside would have little chance of survival.
"Hey Jack, I wonder who that idiot is trying to sail out in the storm." She said.
"Mm.." he replied absently, it seemed as if his mind was somewhere else.
Unexpectedly Bianca heard the loud engine of a Duel Runner. It was Yusei's Duel runner. As it came to a halt, Yusei removed his helmet and walked towards the tall blonde. "Where is he, Jack?" Yusei asked in a demanding tone.
"Where's who?" Bianca questioned furrowing one eyebrow confusedly. She had no idea who they were talking about.
"He's out there," Jack replied pointing outwards to the water.
"Rally!" Yusei called out towards the boat in the water.
At that moment her eyes widened in disbelief. It couldn't be! Were they saying that Rally was stranded on the boat out there? It was beyond her understanding why someone would do such a thing to their friend. He was just a kid!
"The tides still going out." Jack continued. "He could be swept out to sea and then there's that storm front approaching..."
'Wait, a second, Jack knew he was out there? Then why wasn't he helping him!'
"Jack, what's he doing out there?" Yusei asked a second time, his mind desperate for answers.
He sighed heavily. "I guess there's no reason to keep on lying to you," Jack said, his eyes moving up to meet Yusei's. "I put him out there."
Bianca felt something twist inside her stomach. She was going to be sick. Her mind spun trying to comprehend why Jack would do such a thing to Rally. He was his friend, they all were. Out there in the water, he was alone and vulnerable. In a matter of seconds, a huge wave could come and flip the boat and Rally would drown. She never knew that when he told her that people change, he was talking about himself.
"But Rally's your friend!" Yusei protested.
"Do you know what people are saying? Jack questioned. "That you got what it takes to be the best, but we both know that's not true don't we Yusei?"
"What are you saying?" Yusei yelled, not understanding the riddles that Jack was speaking in.
"RALLY!" Bianca screamed as she rushed towards the raging water. Jack immediately ran after her and pulled her into a tight brace. She struggled and flailed with all her might, but that only made him hold tighter. She sobbed uncontrollably, wishing that she could save him but with Jack holding her back she couldn't. She looked up at the blonde man that held her captive with disdain. She didn't know who her friend was anymore.
"You can either duel me or you can swim out there and save Rally. What'll it be?"
"Y-Yusei," Bianca sobbed. "You have to save Rally."
"What's more important to you? Proving that you are a true Duelist or are you willing to put dueling second to help your little friend?"
Yusei gritted his teeth in vexation.
"What are you made of?" Jack taunted.
Without a second of thought, Yusei removed his coat and card belt. He then dived into the murky water and swam to Rally's rescue.
"Pathetic!" Jack scoffed. "You don't deserve to have Stardust Dragon."
Bianca then watched on in horror as Jack picked up Yusei's card belt, removed his Stardust Dragon card and slipped it inside his coat before tossing the compartment aside carelessly. He then walked over to the white Duel Runner and started the engine.
"Jack what the hell do you think you're doing!?" Bianca shouted angrily.
"Bianca its now or never!" Jack exclaimed, beckoning her towards him. "Come with me!"
"N-no Jack" She stammered, taking a few steps backward. "I d-don't know w-who you are anymore!"
"BIANCA DO AS I SAY!" Jack roared as he revved the engine loudly, possibly as an attempt to scare her.
"NO!" Bianca screeched. "STAY AWAY FROM ME JACK!"
Jack gritted his teeth in frustration as he could see Yusei swimming back to the shore with Rally. No matter what he said it seemed that he couldn't convince Bianca, the girl was just too damn stubborn. There was now only one thing he could do, look after himself. If he didn't he would have to watch his life's dream disappear into thin air.
"You know what Bianca!?" Jack spat angrily. "I was foolish to think that I needed you. The only thing you would do is hold me back!"
"Jack please listen..." She begged, her cheeks stained with tears.
"No, you listen!" He yelled. "I'm better off without you. You can dwell in the slums and live with the cockroaches your whole life."
"But Jack..." Bianca continued to cry.
"But nothing!" He grunted. "Goodbye, Bianca. Have a nice life!" And with that, he revved his engine a final time and rode off into the distance.
I hope that you liked the first Chapter. Please review!
