Chapter 1:
The new Cyner?
It was getting late in the small town called Satellite. If you could even call it a town … with all its trash and thugs and crime. Those who did were lucky because they lived in the better parts of What was once West Domino. Now though it was little more than a wasteland in some parts and no one ventured around at night anymore. The police force [sector security] that had been assigned to protect the citizens of Neo Domino City from the Satellites had made life hell for those who lived there.
One in particular is our main character … or one of them Yusei Fudo. He had lived in West Domino all his life … at least that of which he could remember. He and his best friend Jack Atlus had created a gang called the Black Thorn and lessened the crime for a while. Black Thorn was established to stop crime in the Satellite although it is hard to demolish something that has always been there. West Domino had always been the crime HQ … even before the disaster that killed many of its citizens and created the Satellite. But Yusei and Jack were determined to stop crime and it worked for a while until …
One day Jack … left the Satellite to put it bluntly. He took Yusei's favourite card and his d-wheel and left. No one really knew why he left but … life was never the same afterward. Yusei handed Black Thorn over to his best friend Jacob and left the gang. He wandered for a while until he found a new life to live.
He found an old subway that wasn't being used anymore and made it his temporary living quarters. Soon enough he encountered a group of four who needed a place to stay. They all had their special talents: Blitz, [the computer geek]his cousin Nerve, [the hard worker] Jess`e, [the fast runner] and Taka [the manipulator.] He came to care for them as if they were his own family although they were all older than him by at least three years.
One day he found a child in the middle of the road. The kid was at least three years younger than him maybe even four … and he was hurt. Yusei brought the kid to the subway and cleaned his wounds. Most of them were bruises and needed to heal on their own. What happened to this kid? He looks pretty hurt. … Yusei thought.
A few days later the kid woke up and looked around the small room Yusei had laid him in. He tried to get up but found it quite difficult. Every time he tried his body would start shaking violently and he would be forced to lie back down to stop the shaking. Yusei walked in and brought him a drink of water which the boy guzzled greedily. Yusei looked worriedly at the kid and looked at the floor again.
I hope he's alright. He sure doesn't look too good. Yusei thought as he started taking inventory of the kid's injuries.
"What's your name? …" Yusei asked as the boy tried to sit up again. Yusei helped him to a sitting position.
"R-Rally," the kid replied looking at Yusei with wide grey eyes.
"why would you help me? No one helps me. … and you're from Black Thorn …" the boy said as he turned to the left and coughed violently. He ended up coughing up blood and Yusei started getting worried.
"I'm okay …" the boy said as he got his voice back. Why would he help me? I'm from Deep Gardna … and … shouldn't he be tryin to kill me? Rally thought.
"I'm not going to hurt you," Yusei said as he glimpsed Rally's terrified face.
"You should … You're … You're …" he trailed off as he spied Yusei's identifying mark.
"do you think this matters anymore," Yusei said as he showed Rally the Black thorn's mark.
"But that's … that's …"
"calm down …" Yusei told the shivering child. He drew him into his lap as the child began to calm down.
"But you're the leader of Black thorn shouldn't you want to kill me? … especially since I'm from Deep Gardna … we're supposed to be the leading crime organization here," Rally managed to say. Yusei just shook his head.
"No … that title means nothing to me anymore and besides … you're just a kid what could you possibly have done?" Yusei said. Rally just looked at him fearfully and buried his face in Yusei's chest.
If only you knew. He thought.
"I've done things … things that you could never imagine …" Rally said in a small voice.
"Like what?" Yusei asked.
"I've been … I've been stealin and …" Rally stopped as he fingered his small dagger.
"and what …" Yusei prompted.
"I've iced people before … so many people," Rally said gloomily looking up at Yusei.
"I don't care. It doesn't matter what you've done," Yusei said as he stroked the yellow marker on Rally's cheek that denoted him as a criminal.
"You don't care?" Rally asked in disbelief. Yusei just nodded his head and cleaned Rally's wounds more thoroughly now that the boy was fully awake.
That's all in the past now though. That is all I remember of my childhood. I was 10 years old when I found Rally cold and almost dead on the Satellite streets and I never want to see anyone like that again. But life never is fair to you is it? My life has been pure hell since Jack left and I am only sorry that it happened before Rally was rescued from Deep Gardna. I was a different person before Jack left and that is the kind of person I wanted to raise Rally as not this …
I wanted to die …
I felt so alone and nothing made sense anymore …
My brother … I don't even know any more …
My memories lost and scattered … and now WHAT!
I turned around as they arrived. I wasn't sure who they were but all I knew was that they were trouble. The first one who I assumed was the leader came up to me. He grabbed my shoulder and I flinched away. They all laughed at my expense. Who are they? … and why am I here …? I thought as I backed away from them.
I wanted to run but I knew that in my state of confusion it would be worse than staying where I was.
"What do you want?" I asked timidly as the leader laughed at me.
"aww you're so cute," he said in an overly sweet voice that send shivers down my back. Something's up with this guy. I thought as he came closer. I continued to back away until I hit a wall.
"the little guy's scared boss," one of the others said. I made fists as I heard them coming closer. I don't want to fight them. … every time … people get hurt. … I thought as I tried to think of something else to do.
"looks like I'll have to put my skills to work." The first voice said. I was annoyed now. They think they can just take me with them just cause I look kind of weak. That's a big mistake … I said as I side stepped the punch thrown my way.
Damn it … I thought as I dodged a kick from one of the leader's goons.
"Hold still boy all we want is that body of yours," the leader coaxed from behind.
"You shouldn't reveal your location," I said as I punched him hard in the jaw. He stumbled backward and one of his goons growled and stomped toward me. I side stepped again as he tried to throw me to the ground. Looks like I have no choice. I thought as I threw the goon nearest to me into the wall behind me. He groaned in discomfort and they all charged me. I was able to stay out of the main fight and I kept moving just enough so that they ended up fighting each other mostly. But even I can only fight for so long …
I was caught off guard when the guy came up from behind and struck me in the back of the head. I ended up slamming into the wall hard enough to break my right arm and collapsed. Seeing me on the ground vulnerable they all charged again at least those that weren't already knocked out. The leader got to me first. I barely got out of the way as his fist slammed into the wall just inches from me. The punch that had been meant to knock me out left him in a vulnerable position. I only have one more shot. I thought to myself as I brought my good arm down on his neck hard enough to do some damage. It knocked him out but I wasn't expecting the second guy to be there.
I felt my body being slammed hard into the ground multiple times but I wasn't really paying attention. I couldn't feel the pain but I wasn't at my full strength either. I tried to force him off me but it was no use there wasn't enough darkness and I wasn't in a position to duel right now. AS I got closer and closer to unconsciousness the guy seemed to get angrier and angrier with my lack of a verbal response.
"Why don't you ever feel any of this? Why don't you scream? … **growl** …" he said as I continued to ignore my injuries.
Almost there. I thought as my body began to glow.
The glowing got brighter as the guy assaulting me began to back away. A dark red aura surrounded me as my body started to heal itself. This isn't what I expected but it'll have to do for now. I thought as I collected energy in my uninjured left hand.
"Volcanic Slash," I muttered as I threw the red energy force at the others. They quailed and ran dragging their leader behind them. I collapsed against the wall expecting a rather rude awakening when I woke up again.
I lifted my head as my arm started to burn, I opened my eyes and looked around as my eyes adjusted to the dim light in the abandoned subway.
What was that? I thought as I pulled the sleeve of my black shirt away from my skin. There standing out plainly on my skin was a dragon. I didn't know what to make of this. I was eighteen and I knew being an adult now I was going through changes but this was … this just wasn't normal.
Am I the only one who can see this? Maybe … I thought as I got up and made my way to Rally's room.
Once I got there I quietly pushed the curtains [that served as a door] away and looked curiously around the room. Rally lay awake … holding …
"Rally are you reading?" I asked as I approached and put a hand on his shoulder. He jumped and closed the book turning toward me.
"Yeah … what's up Yusei?" he asked. I smirked and looked at him. We stared at each other for a while and then we both broke up into laughter.
"Seriously what … Yusei?" he turned to me as I looked at him again. I just nodded and grabbed the book before he could stop me. The words "History of Dueling" were on the cover in a strange script.
"Where did you get this Rally?" I asked. He said nothing but just took the book back from me.
I looked at him again knowing that I wasn't going to get an answer to that question.
"Rally … can you …" I started.
"What is it?" he asked looking interested.
"Can you see anything on my arm?" I asked.
He looked at me strangely but took my arm and examined it.
"Yeah Yus … there's something here but it's fading … is that a dragon?" he asked looking straight into my dark eyes.
"That's what you see too?" I inquired. He nodded and the mark disappeared.
It was a few days later … at least I think it was. I woke to sunlight shining brightly in my eyes. It had to be very bright for me to notice considering I'm totally blind and normally don't see light. I guess I'm outside again. I thought to myself. I ran a hand through my sweaty bangs and groaned in disgust when I noticed they were also covered in blood. This is just great. Wonder how badly injured those idiots who attacked me are? Maybe that leader of theirs died. Someone who attacks someone like that for no reason shouldn't live a normal life afterwards. I thought.
AS I got up I noticed that my clothes were in tatters and my body hadn't faired much better. I cut my wrist with my claws and activated the magic I was so familiar with. I mended my clothing and most of my injuries healed as I got up. My arm remained the same as before and I couldn't do anything else except wrap it. It's a good thing I learned how to fight and heal myself. I thought. Although I can't help wondering where I am and who taught me how to fight and heal … I thought as I sighed and leaned against the wall for support. It isn't easy fighting all the time and fighting as many guys as I did but that's the life of Yakasa.
It never occurred to me that there would be people who wouldn't try to sleep with me here. I was very surprised when the boy came towards me and didn't try to attack me. He had a small dagger but in the state I was in he could have done a lot of damage with it.
"Who are you? … and what are you doing in Castaway Tyrano Territory?" When I gave him a weird look he came closer and sighed. My power collected in waves around me and when he came too close I threw him into the wall opposite me. He came at me with his dagger drawn and before I could do anything it was pressed to my throat.
"All I wanted was an answer to my questions not a fight." He growled in my ear.
I looked up into brightly gleaming grey eyes and lightly removed the dagger from my throat. He looked surprised for a moment but quickly masked it with his apparent annoyance at my actions.
"So …" he said sheathing his dagger and slumping against the wall next to me.
"My name Is Silver," I told him. [I preferred to use the English version of my name instead of giving him the upperhand by letting him know my given name]
"Okay … but that still doesn't answer my second question," he said staring at me inquisitively.
"I don't know why I'm here. I just remember waking up here and then …" I trailed off as I tried to remember the fight.
"what …" he said.
"I was attacked by … well I really don't know who they were. I guess they were this Castaway group you talked about." I said.
"Wow … you fought them and survived. I'm Rally by the way." He told me sticking out his hand. I shook it vigourously and used him to stand up.
He led me to a big open space where we went down some stairs underground. I scanned the room for other occupants as we walked toward a room. I tried to hide my surprise as I found out that there were in fact others here. How could anyone stand to live in a place like this.
"Yusei," Rally called as we entered the room.
"He's gone off to test his d-wheel again Rally," a male voice sounded as we got closer.
"Who's that Rally?" another person asked as we went through the doorway.
"This is Silver," rally introduced me as we stepped into the room.
"He's …" Rally started as I cut him off.
"what's going on here and who is Yusei?" I asked.
"you guys okay?" another voice asked. I turned around and was assaulted with an overpowering aura.
"yusei!" Rally cried as he ran and jumped on the newcomer.
"Rally .. can't breathe .." he rasped out.
"Sorry Yus," Rally said as he disentangled himself from the older teen.
"I'm Yusei," he said as he held out his hand. I shook his hand and tried to look elsewhere. He put a hand underneath my jaw and forced me to look at him. There is something about him … I … he thought as I jerked away.
It was a few months later when things started getting exciting for me and the others in the Satellite. Yusei had perfected his d-wheel and even helped me build one of my own. Rally helped out in his own way getting the supplies we needed for our d-wheels. We all just hoped that he didn't have to steal anything.
Over time Yusei and I had gotten quite close and I knew that we would have to separate soon.
"Yus," I asked as I put a gentle hand on his shoulder. He flinched a little and turned towards me.
"Yes silver?" he asked as I backed up a little.
"You're leaving tonight aren't you …" I started but then trailed off as his lips were on mine. I pushed him to the back wall of the room and deepened the kiss.
"Is this how you really feel?" I asked him when we drew apart.
"Yes," he breathed huskily in my ear.
"But then …" I said as I leaned against the wall beside him.
"I want to take you with me," he said as he snaked an arm around my waist.
"You know I can't …" I said.
"Why not?" he breathed in my ear. I shivered slightly in pleasure as I pondered this question.
"Who will stay here and take care of Rally?" I asked as I turned away from him. If I let him get any closer I will have no choice but to go with him. … but if I … I thought as he wrapped his arms around my waist and drew me closer.
"He'll be fine." He said as he sucked on my neck.
I leaned into him unable to stop myself anymore. I moaned lowly as he increased the pressure. I let my mind go blank as I could feel him reaching toward me and sliding his hands down my body. I pulled back harshly just before he could make contact with his target.
"Don't," I said harshly before I could stop myself. He looked at me with pleading eyes once again forgetting that I couldn't see him.
"sorry," I said as I leaned against the wall next to him once again. I slipped my hand into his as he looked at me again.
"I never wanted to hurt you Yus. I just didn't think … didn't think that something like this would be such a big deal to you," I said sadly as I leaned my head into the crook of his neck.
"you didn't know," he said as he drew me closer. I pushed against him forcing my body closer.
"It's just every time I ever get close to anyone … they get hurt." He said.
"You still got Rally and you still got me," I told him defiantly.
"that's true," he said French kissing me.
We heard someone clear their throat as we came out of our euphoria.
"Yusei … Silver …" Rally said awkwardly. We pulled apart and stared at him.
"You're leaving tonight Yus," Rally said. It wasn't a question it was bare fact now.
"Yes Rally," Yusei replied.
"You don't need to worry about us Yus," the boy said.
"Rally …" I started but was cut off by the over enthusiastic boy.
"You can go too Silver. We'll be fine. I can protect the others now," Rally said. We both looked at him oddly as we both doubted that a thirteen year old could defend four other adult males. It wasn't that we had no confidence in him it just seemed so unlikely. But the boy shook his head at our doubtful expressions.
"You trust me right," he said.
"Not that we don't it's just …" Yusei started.
Being the person that I am I could tell that Rally wasn't lying or scared and that he could do it.
"Here Rally," I said as I handed him a full sized brown hilted sword. Yusei just stared at me for a moment and then a smile graced his face.
"Thanks Silver-kun," the boy said as he unsheathed the sword.
"But I don't know how to fight with a sword." He said. I strode across the room and put a hand on his shoulder.
"I'll .. teach you," I said simply. It was only sic o'clock and I from experience knew that this kid learned fast. I knew that I could teach him in about two hours and he would be almost as good as me and Yusei. That would surely be enough to defend the others.
