Background/Note: This will be a crossover between the three Yu-Gi-Oh! series. The fanfiction is taking place after the new 10th anniversary movie which was released January 2010 in Japan (Spring 2011 for 4Kids English dub). This will mean that Yugi Muto, Judai Yuki and Yusei Fudo knew each other for about some time. The title "5DX" came from inspiration from several AMV videos on YouTube, so thank them for giving me this title. I do not own the title "5DX".
Episode 1: Yugi Muto

It was the beginning of another beautiful day at Domino City with fresh new rays of sunshine flooding the dueling metropolis which created a breathtaking sight for anyone who were viewing the city skyline. It was four hours before noon that the Duel King, Yugi Muto, was getting ready for the new day by wearing his usual outfit - blue shoes, blue pants, black shirt, a belt, a Domino City school uniform and an ancient artifact chained around his neck. Duel King, Yugi Muto, was just your originally and shy average seventeen-year-old teenager who showed a great passion for dueling but hidden beneath his kindness held a great secret: a powerful, ancient soul hidden beneath his mind through a mysterious item which were both each three thousand years old. Yugi was making sure everything was ready and was about to step out into the warming and welcoming sunlight.
"Jii-chan (1), I'm leaving!" Yugi called happily. Today was a somewhat special day for Yugi and his pals because they can finally hang out like any other ordinary group of friends should and take a break from all the saving the world business they had recently. Of course, the relaxation will be short-lived because Yugi already planned a trip to Egypt for his best friend and mentor, the "Nameless Pharaoh" which they were to leave in two weeks.
The Pharaoh was an ancient spirit that had "lived" inside Yugi's mind and body through the equally ancient Millennium Puzzle for nearly the last two years. Ever since Pegasus J. Crawford's Duelist Kingdom Tournament had ended with Yugi's victory, he and the Pharaoh had always been best friends and gone through a lot together; however, despite their friendship, the two shared stunning differences; Yugi is often shy and sometimes is insecure while his other half is cunning, bold and proud of who he is despite his cluelessness of his mysterious and somewhat incomprehensive past which seemed to be originated in Egypt. Through their strong-bonded friendship, however, the Pharaoh was always willing to help Yugi get better and grow more self-confidence in him and for humanity for any upcoming dangers.
Yugi was walking to the park to meet his "greatest" friends: Anzu Mazaki, Katsuya Jyonouchi and Hiroto Honda. The three were Yugi's best friends because of how they always supported him on all of their adventures. Yugi just couldn't imagine life without their support or else he wouldn't have accomplished on what he had done with the Pharaoh the past two years.
When Yugi finally arrived, he stood there admiring the beauty of the place. In one area of the park is there a small pond for happy chirping birds, while in another area is a large dueling ground where young joyful children arguing over whom gets to duel each other first are with their parents kissing under the trees. Beautiful, blooming, colorful flowers were spreading all over the place creating the park into a wonderful paradise seemingly releasing any and all stresses which was something Yugi absolutely and definitely needed. After a moment of scanning the paradise, Yugi spotted Anzu feeding happy birds; Jyonouchi and Honda weren't with her at the moment meaning that they haven't arrived yet. If Yugi knew Jyonouchi and Honda like he knew Jyonouchi and Honda, they must be late again because they all agreed yesterday to meet at the park 8:30 sharp (2). Yugi sighed modestly and walked over toward the teenage female whom doesn't seemed to notice Yugi's quiet footsteps.
"Hey, Anzu! How is it going?" Yugi called out. Anzu looked up and smiled at the seventeen-year-old.
"Yugi! Everything is great! Jyonouchi and Honda haven't arrived yet, as always," Anzu said, grumbled a bit. It was another usual hot August day so Anzu was wearing a white blouse, blue skirt, brown scandals as well as holding a brown bag full of nutritious and yucky-tasting bird food with the local pet store's logo printed on the front and back of the bag.
Anzu was a calm and gentle girl but it doesn't mean she had a serious side. And when she is on her serious side, it scared Jyonouchi and Honda to the floor. She seemed to have a romantic onset to the Pharaoh while at the same time confused of there being two Yugis. However, she as well as Jyonouchi and Honda had gone with and supported Yugi for the past two years. She is planning to go with Yugi to Egypt to figure out the Pharaoh's past with Jyonouchi and Honda's help of course.
The sun blazed down on two fast moving projectiles aiming to strike the park at an angle from the southeast. One of these had yellow hair, light blue tee-shirt, blue pants, blue sneakers, a crooked smile on his young face, sweat running down his head and body, a Kaiba Corporation duel disk attached onto his left arm and a belt which held his deck that bought him victories to almost everyone he faces with the exception of two people he knew well to almost completion.
"Hey, hurry up you bastard!" Jyonouchi said out loudly.
The other has brown hair with a point at one end who's wearing a white tee-shirt, brown outside shirt with a zipper running down the middle, black pants and black sneakers with sweat billowing all around his lean body at a rapid pace and eyes as huge as meatballs as his breath quickened to where he taken a breath every point two seconds.
"Oi Jyonouchi...I'm coming!" Honda said panting behind. Both are running, as a snail would say, the speed of sound as commuters came to see if they are on steroids or four hours late to work and are missing a raise.
Katsuya Jyonouchi and Hiroto Honda were both classmates of Yugi at Domino City High School so the three knew each other very well; Jyonouchi and Honda used to be bullies to the poor and underconfident Yugi. But ever since their incident with Tetsu Ushio (3), they became best friends and both Jyonouchi and Honda had been supporting Yugi through every situation from helping Yugi beat up Dinosaur Ryuzaki and Insector Haga to rescuing Yugi from a burning house set up by a brainwashed Bandit Keith. Jyonouchi and Honda were the same in personality, age, looks and physical beings as both have the same hairstyle except Jyonouchi is longer and more yellow in color than Honda was. Of course, for them both being like twins would they have a tendency of being late all the time...
'Why does my motorcycle have to breakdown today?' Honda thought as he was lagging farther and farther behind the speedy Jyonouchi. Jyonouchi was running so fast, however, he didn't have time to see that there was someone about ten meters in front of him. BANG! Honda immediately stopped for a second but continued running toward Jyonouchi before a person whom seemed to be hiding himself in a black cloak.
"Oww… What happened?" Jyonouchi painfully asked.
"Ouch! I'm sorry," the mystery man said standing up and lending a hand to Jyonouchi. His voice was rough and sounded kind of like Kaiba except less of the commanding and superior type.
"Huh?" Jyonouchi looked up and immediately stood up apologizing rapidly while bowing his head multiple times. "Sorry! My bad!" And so on and so on.
"The man cocked his head slightly and asked, "Are you Jyonouchi Katsuya?"
"Huh? Umm, yes!" Jyonouchi asked surprised. "But how do you know?"
The man chuckled lightly while responding, "Who never heard of Jyonouchi Katsuya whom was in Kaiba's Battle City tournament or in that Grand Championship?"
Jyonouchi blinked and smiled proudly, "Never guess I was that popular." Honda face-palmed.
"Jyonouchi. We're late. We have to meet Yugi and Anzu in the park now!" Honda informed and reminding his friend.
Jyonouchi's face came up and said, "Oh! That's right! We had to leave!"
"Wait!" the mystery man interrupted Jyonouchi and Honda's running motion.
"What is it sir?" Jyonouchi asked kindly but his face clearly showed he's in a rush.
"I always wanted to duel the famous Jyonouchi Katsuya..." the man continued.
"A duel? Now?" Jyonouchi asked surprised.
"But sir. We have to meet a couple of friends and we're late," Honda snorted.
"That's alright. I give you a free ride to the park on my limonuse," the man assured.
"Limonuse?" Jyonouchi and Honda asked, even more surprised. The only person they knew that had such a luxury thing was Yugi's arch rival, Seto Kaiba.
"I guess I'm a little tired of running," Honda admitted, rubbing the back of his head with his left hand.
"I guess I could use a challenge. Alright old man, you're on," Jyonouchi said activating his duel disk. "But first where is your limonuse?"
"Over there with my butler, Jyonouchi-san," the man pointed toward a long and beautiful white machine that was about two blocks away. It was accomplished with a tall man who wore black clothes.
"Ohhh..." Jyonouchi and Honda whistled, both clearly impressed.
"So if I win or even lose, me and my friend gets to go in your car?" Jyonouchi asked recalling the information.
"Correct, Jyonouchi-san."
"All right! You're on!"
The man smiled, "I'm so pleased you accepted." But behind his cloak that was hiding his unseen face, "You're soon mine." The man chuckled evilly that neither Jyonouchi or Honda can neither hear.
"Duel!"
"Duel!"
"Where in the world are they?" Anzu complained. Yugi and Anzu had been waiting for a substantially long amount of time for Jyonouchi and Honda to arrived. It was like waiting for a morning bus at 20:00 (8:00 PM) at night and that bus wouldn't arrived for another nine hours. During that time, however, Yugi and the Pharaoh are thinking about their latest opponent, Paradox…
"I know that we defeated Paradox and all, but I'm worry he might come back," Yugi said with a slimmer of fear to Yami.
"Are you asking me this because of what he did to your Grandpa?" Yami no Yugi questioned his calm half calmly.
Yugi flinched and nodded saying, "Yah. Plus I'm getting these weird dreams lately of Paradox."
"Oh?"
"Yah. But, um, I was wondering if you believe if Paradox can revived again?"
"It's hard to say. Might be. But if Paradox does return, I know that our newest friends, Yuki Judai and Fudo Yusei, will come help us defeat him again, partner," Yami no Yugi said, smiling.
"I know. I never really get a chance to know them. All I know is that they are really awesome duelists and came from the future. I just hope we'll meet them again," Yugi said thoughtfully.
"Me too. But where are Jyonouchi and Honda? Those two are always late but not this late," Yami no Yugi asked questionably.
"I don't know. Maybe we should go look for them," Yugi said worringly. Yami no Yugi nodded in agreement.
"Let's go look for them, Anzu!" Yugi suggested, physically saying the words so his friend could hear.
"Yeah and then those two are going to pay for wasting our valuable time doing something unnecassary," Anzu said angrily.
"Calm down, Anzu! Calm down!"
"How am I supposed to calm down when we wasted almost forty-five minutes waiting for those idiots?"
"Anzu!"
Honda was standing in the hot sun with sweat and panic running down his face. He just witnessed a crime that was just committed on his best friend. Shock continued to fill him as the security officer whom was questioning him asked on about what happened during his friend's duel with the old man. He pointed to the spot the white limonuse formerly was ten minutes ago when Jyonouchi, and he himself were caught sleeping. After the sercuity officer was finished and thanked Honda; Honda pulled out his cell phone with the shaking hand and was about to call Anzu's cell phone number...
It was boiling. Boiling hot. As hot as a cook oven. Yugi and Anzu were literally sweating from the hair tip up to the bottom of the feet down. As the sun is approaching its peak of intensity on the poor Domino City, Yugi and Anzu are sitting behind and under a tree licking their ice cold ice cream as if their lives depended on it from the sole possession of the heat. The sound of quietness is a pleasant new experience for Yugi as he relaxed under the cool shade. Just five minutes in, were those sounds of quietness were interrupted by the sound of ringing of Anzu's brand new cell phone.
"Hey Yugi, someone is calling me," Anzu called. Yugi opened his calm purple eyes and sit up turning toward her, giving this specific look at her, giving her the sign that he wanted to listen as well. "Hello. Honda! Where in the world are you? Huh? What? Jyonouchi is kidn...kidnapped!" Anzu angrily said; but her face turned white on the developing story before her about Jyonouchi.
"What? Jyonouchi-kun? Why? How?" Yugi screamed in panic as everyone around him turned their heads toward him with faces full of confusion and annoyance.
"Okay ... Near Graham Avenue ... Okay we're heading there!" Aznu put her cell phone away with both of her hands shaking. "Yugi; Honda and several security officers are at Graham Avenue near here." Yugi knew she wanted to head there.
Yugi nodded but knew that the heat oppressed them as it formed a barrier between them and the crime scene. He could sensed the heat's power penetrating his skin the moment he made contact with the sunlight that showed no sign of giving up any power. But Yugi had been through much more worse situations than this: Yami no Marik, the Doma Orichalcos and among other things.
"Let's go."
Yugi and Aznu then both ran into the heat as far as their legs can take them and never stopped until the heard the sounds of sercuity sirens and the calls of Hiroto Honda.
Meanwhile a familiar enemy is watching them from the shadows.

1 – It logically means Grandpa. I will not be translating the honorfics because I sort of not want to.
2 – The Japanese used the 24-hour clock instead of the 12-hour one that uses AM and PM.
3 – This Ushio is the same guy as in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. It was just confirmed in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 10th anniversary book.
