Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's Shadowchasers: Shrouded World

This fanfiction is approved by Cyber Commander. I do not own Shadowchasers; the original idea is the property of Cyber Commander. I also do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX or Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, they are the exclusive property of Kazuki Takahashi. I do own my characters and to some degree, the plot.

This fanfiction is based on Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Shadowchasers by Cyber Commander. As such, I apply all rules laid down by Cyber Commander, such as the complete use of all real life TCG rules, including the March 2009 banlist. This banlist will be the law in this fiction and I will stick to its use.

Like Cyber Commander, I will put card stats for any anime, manga, Japanese only or fan-made card at the end of the chapter in which they appear. I will also use the English TCG names for cards, or the most agreed on translation for anime, manga or Japanese only cards. I may use the original name for TCG cards under circumstances where it becomes essential.

Now, for the essential Field Spell we couldn't go without: Speed World.

-

Speed World

Field Spell Card

Image: A section of racetrack shrouded in purple energy.

If a player activates a Spell Card, other than a "Speed Spell", they take 2000 damage. During each player's Standby Phase, place 1 Speed Counter on this card for each player (max. 12 for each player). When a player takes damage, remove Speed Counters of the attacked Player from this card for each multiple of 1000 damage taken.

-

Note that Speed World will always remain in play until the end of a Riding Duel, and is unaffected by effects that would destroy it. The evidence for this is Yusei's Speed Spell – Gap Storm, essentially a Speed Spell Heavy Storm, that didn't destroy Speed World when used.

I won't use the Speed Spells presented in Stardust Accelerator, as most are rip-offs of existing Spells and ruin the unique point of a Riding Duel.

The timeline of this fiction is that it starts around two days before the Fortune Cup. According to this point, Yusei will roughly be about to escape from the Satellite on his D-Wheel to catch his rival Jack Atlas and reclaim his stolen Stardust Dragon. At this point, the events of 5D's will not affect this fic, aside from mentions to events such as the Fortune Cup (TV viewings and such).

The setting of this fiction is Rome, Italy. This version of it will remain very true to the modern state in terms of geography, although I may add in areas for the purposes of official Riding Duels. All monuments such as the Coliseum will remain intact and all districts of the city will also be kept in their modern state.

I will use the original names for any characters should they appear. This is mostly because Cyber Commander does so and partly because the recent dub names for Kiryu and Divine are things I can't stand (thank the heavens they kept Crow!) Those two names have shattered my faith in the dub (though not to the degree I stop watching it.)

As this is a 5D's fic, expect a lot of focus on Synchro Monsters. I will use Synchro Chants in this, as I think they are the worst change in the dub and they should have kept the Chants.

Release and Advance Summon are not used in this. Tribute and Tribute Summon are fine; it's just Upper Deck messing around with a little incorrect grammar problem.

Chapter 1: Advance Fortune Loan

Rome, Italy. Also known as the Eternal City, it has a population of roughly 3.46 million people in an area of 496.3 square miles. It is home to many monuments built in Roman times, such as the Coliseum, the Pantheon and Trajan's Column. Ancient history collides with modern drama in its streets, an ocean of humanity, a great melting pot of culture from across the world, tourists and natives mixing into one magnificent work of utter chaos.

The problem is, not all of these 'natives' should even live there. Many of those within the city are not even human, hiding behind a 'veil' of shadow…

For one average coffee shop waiter, that veil is about to be lifted…

Edward Cole stood neatly and observed his boss, Alberto Enrico, as the suited man pressed his fingertips together and sighed, sitting back in his dark leather chair. His feet brushed the edges of his pine desk lightly as he stared at his foreign employee.

"Edward," he said quietly with a smoothly layered Italian accent "you've got to pull your socks up. The customers, they complain about your poor service, your tardiness, your poor appearance… This cannot go on!" He thrust his arms into the air in sheer exasperation.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Enrico," Edward replied calmly, his harder English accent betraying him as a London native "but to be fair, Alicia barely…"

"Alicia is my most hard-working employee!" Alberto yelled at his dark-skinned waiter "do not imply she is in any way at your level of tardiness!"

"I may be out of place, but kindly explain how gossiping to her friends all the time qualifies as hard work."

"At least she gets the customers served! The customer is important, not the waiter! If the customer is happy, the waiter is hard-worker, si?

"Si," Edward sighed.

"I will give you one more week. If one more complaint reaches my desk, you hand in your apron and leave this shop. Understand?" Alberto spoke darkly.

"Si."

"Well, get on out there and deal with the customers!"

Edward left the office with a single dark glance at his employer. He was a tall twenty year old with stubble developing on his cheeks, dark-tanned skin and harsh storm grey eyes. Dark bags were forming under his eyes and he seemed incredibly tired, as if he hadn't slept well in a while. His long chestnut brown hair was unevenly cut, some strands brushing the lines of his jaw, some barely passing his ears.

He was wearing a dark green T-shirt with 'Enrico's Coffee: The best this side of the Atlantic' written over his chest in large black letters, and dark grey jeans under a plain white apron with several stains of spilt coffee down it. A jagged scar ran across his right cheek, a memento from his first poorly tried attempt at shaving with a razor. Clipped to his belt was a gunmetal grey deck box containing a deck of Duel Monsters cards.

As he returned to the main area of the coffee shop and busied himself finding a table to serve, his eyes fell on his fellow employee, Alicia, a pretty looking teenage girl two years his junior, with an impish smile and soft brown eyes. Her skin was caramel tanned, making her look exotic in the light of the shop, and she was wearing a knee-length green dress under her apron, revealing her dark-skinned legs. Her long silver dyed hair was tied back with a black hair band.

"Stupid perfect girl," Edward muttered under his breath. He took a step…

Then froze. Something seemed to stop him as he looked at Alicia… his eyes narrowed as he caught a glimpse of her ears and saw that they were pointed.

The moment passed and she was normal once more, but Edward remained still.

"Signor?!" he heard one of the customers, a short and stout man with a thick black beard call. He turned to the man, Alicia forgotten.

"Sorry, signor, I was somewhere else," he said with an apologetic smile "what can I get you?"

As he took the man's order and tried to focus on hard work for the rest of his three hour shift, his thoughts were on Alicia and her pointed ears.

Luckily, his shift flashed by and soon enough he was walking home, slightly behind Alicia. It was his misfortune that they lived in the same general area.

But as he noticed Alicia deviate from her regular route into an alleyway, his curiosity was aroused and he followed her, checking the Duel Disk on his arm just in case, It was a matter of honor that Duels were sacred and very few would promise something on the results of a Duel, only to break that promise.

He continued to follow his colleague into the alleyway, when she suddenly turned to face him.

Her ears were pointed again, he noted.

"Edward," she said, voice chill in tone "why are you following me?"

"This isn't the way to your apartment. We live in the same building, signora. And besides, I noticed… your ears are pointed." She gasped.

"Perceptive of you. Still, you shouldn't be following a young woman around, even if she happens to be an elf." Edward stared at her, amazed. Had she really just referred to herself as an elf? No, he must have misheard…

He knew full well he hadn't, but that was impossible. Elves simply didn't exist! Maybe she was playing a practical joke… or perhaps she was just wrong in the head…

She couldn't really be an elf, could she?

"I have every right to walk wherever I want in this city."

"Too bad you won't be walking soon, Shadowchaser." Edward glanced back to see the stout man he had served earlier, now wearing a Duel Disk on his arm and carrying a shining, sharp-looking switchblade he had just pulled from somewhere.

"Shadow…" Edward began, and then he realized both Alicia and the man were afraid. He could sense the terror from their stances, the way they were edging away. "What do you want?"

"Simple," Alicia said "we want Ricardo free. Free him now or we'll slit your throat!"

"Uh… that's a lovely offer…" Edward began, before remembering his Duel Disk and noticing that both of them were wearing Duel Disks too "but how about we duel? If either of you can beat me, this Ricardo guy goes free. I win, you leave me in peace!"

"Fine," Alicia chuckled "this will be short, Shadowchaser. As short as that mark on your cheek is." Then Edward realized. These people had mistaken him for something he wasn't, all for a mark on his cheek!

Alicia activated her Duel Disk as Edward did the same, mirroring her.

- (Edward 8000LP) (Alicia 8000LP) -

"I'll take the first turn," Edward said as he added a sixth card to his starting hand and noted the cards. He quickly placed one of his cards face-down in defense mode. "I Set a card." The reversed horizontal card appeared in front of him.

"Next I place one card face-down." The vertical face-down appeared behind his monster.

"Finally, I end my turn."

- (Edward 8000LP) (Alicia 8000LP) -

"My draw," Alicia called "I summon Fortune Telling Witch Hikari." A cute little girl in a golden frock, with eyes and hair of the same color, carrying a staff with a golden sun at the end appeared from a portal of golden light (0/0).

"Why a zero point monster?" Edward asked "in fact, why a zero point Normal Monster?"

"You'll see," she replied "next I activate the Spell Card Unacceptable Results, allowing me to summon a Fortune Telling Witch from my hand, like my Fortune Telling Witch En!" Another girl, this one with a crimson frock, hair and eyes appeared from a crimson portal (0/0).

"Finally, I play Good Fortune – Miracle Stone!" A piece of shining blue crystal appeared behind her two monsters, shining as lines of purple runes spun around it.

"That means all of your Fortune Telling Witches get 1000 attack points for every Fortune Telling Witch on your field!" Edward exclaimed.

"Correct," Alicia said, delivering a dazzling smile as her two monsters grew in size (2000/0x2).

"Unfortunately, Miracle Stone stops my Witches from attacking you this turn, so I'll end there."

- (Edward 8000LP) (Alicia 8000LP) -

"I draw," Edward said, looking over his hand and picking out a single card "I Flip-Summon Genex Searcher." A humanoid robot made from various pieces of scrap metal appeared as the card both turned to vertical and flipped over at once (1600/400).

"Next I sacrifice Genex Searcher to Tribute Summon Solar Genex!" Genex Searcher dissolved into golden dust that reformed into a tall yellow and black robot with a streamlined body and thin wings and jet engines on its shoulders, an amber core in its chest (2500/1500).

"That's a Level 7!" Alicia objected.

"Solar Genex can be Tribute Summoned with one Genex Monster as a Tribute," Edward explained "Next I equip my Solar Genex with Seven Completed, to raise its attack by 700." Solar Genex shone as a red numeral 7 appeared on its chest (3200/1500).

"Solar Genex, Shining Ray and destroy Fortune Telling Witch Hikari!" Energy burst from Solar Genex's chest orb in a golden stream that crushed the girl into the ground, shattering her into pieces. Alicia cried out as the blast struck her, forcing her to the ground.

(Alicia: 6800LP)

"I end there."

- (Edward 8000LP) (Alicia 6800LP) -

"I draw," Alicia said "next I activate the Spell Card Double Summon and bring out Fortune Telling Witch Sui and Fortune Telling Witch Fu in attack mode!" A girl in a blue frock, with blue hair and eyes, Fortune Telling Witch Sui (0/0) and a near identical girl with green hair and eyes, wearing a green frock, Fortune Telling Witch Fu (0/0) appeared from blue and green portals respectively.

Then Good Fortune – Miracle Stone glowed with red, green and blue light and all three Fortune Telling Witches glowed and grew (3000/0x3).

"You still can't beat my Solar Genex," Edward said calmly.

"Well then, I play Silent Doom to return Fortune Telling Witch Hikari to my field in defense mode," Alicia replied. The golden haired girl reappeared, crouching with a smile that made her look even cuter (0/0).

Good Fortune – Miracle Stone gained a golden light and all of the Fortune Telling Witches grew even larger (4000/0x4).

"This is over!" Alicia cried "Fortune Telling Witch Sui, attack Solar Genex!" Sui fired a jet of water from her staff, shattering Solar Genex and throwing Edward to the floor.

(Edward: 7200LP)

"It isn't… over!" Edward groaned.

"It is now, Shadowchaser!" Alicia roared "Fu, En, attack him directly!" The two Witches fired blasts of wind and fire respectively at Edward…

The smoke from the blasts cleared to reveal an unharmed Edward, standing behind a barrier of rainbow light.

(Edward: 15200LP)

"WHAT?!" Alicia screamed.

"When your monsters attacked, I played my Rainbow Life Trap," Edward said, gesturing to his now revealed Trap Card "it means that until the end of this turn, I gain Life Points instead of taking damage. And all that for one card from my hand." He slotted a card into his Graveyard.

"DAMN YOU TO HELL!" Alicia shrieked, eyes blazing with fury.

"Is your turn over yet?" Edward chuckled, amused by her reaction.

"YES!"

- (Edward 15500LP) (Alicia 6800LP) -

"I draw!" Edward called. As he did so, the Rainbow Life barrier faded.

"Next I summon my Spare Genex in attack mode." A black robot with a head like a toaster appeared, clutching a flower with white petals in its claws with amazing gentleness (800/1200).

"Now I play the Spell Card Double Summon, and you know the drill, I Tribute my Spare Genex to summon Army Genex in attack mode." Spare Genex dissolved into shards of rainbow light that reformed into a hulking robot with camouflage patterns painted onto its armored body and carrying a four barreled rocket launcher on its left shoulder (2300/1300).

"So what?!" Alicia snarled "you lose next turn, no matter what pathetic monster you summon!"

"Not quite yet," Edward smirked "you see, when I Tribute a Genex to summon this commando, he blows a card on your field to shrapnel. Goodbye Miracle Stone, hello zero point fairies!"

"They're WITCHES!" Alicia shrieked.

"Who cares? Not me!" Edward yelled back as Army Genex fired a blast from its rocket launcher, blowing the glowing crystal to fragments and abruptly ending the light show.

All of the Fortune Telling Witches shrank to normal size (0/0x4).

"Now, Army Genex, attack Fortune Telling Witch En with Quaker Barrage!" Army Genex aimed its rocket launcher carefully before firing a volley of projectiles, shattering Fortune Telling Witch En in a flurry of explosions that hurled Alicia into a wall, scraping perfect skin from her arms and leaving long red marks.

(Alicia 4500LP)

"I end there," Edward said calmly, relaxing a little.

- (Edward 15200LP) (Alicia 4500LP) -

"I draw!" Alicia snarled; face twisting into a harsh grimace.

She smiled as she saw her card "I summon the Tuner Arcane Apprentice!" A short, hunched over man dressed in a dark purple and gold robe, with flames dancing around his palms appeared from a crimson portal (1000/400).

"A Tuner?!" Edward exclaimed.

"Yes, a Tuner!" Alicia laughed "now I Tune Arcane Apprentice with Fortune Telling Witch Sui and Fortune Telling Witch Hikari to Synchro Summon…!"

Arcane Apprentice shone and rose into the air alongside the two Witches, becoming a sphere of crackling orange energy as they soared upwards. He split into two glowing white rings that encircled the two girls, cutting them down to fluorescent orange frameworks, releasing five shining white stars that spun within the rings.

An explosion of white light tore through the stars and rings, shielding them from view…

"Starlight gathers into a magical spirit! Shining sorcerer, burn with the soul of the light! Synchro Summon! Shine brightly, Arcanite Magician!" Alicia chanted.

A white and blue robed magician soared out of the light, spinning a staff similar to the legendary Dark Magician's in his black gloved hands, pale purple face barely visible beneath the hood of his robe (400/1800).

"And because I used Arcane Apprentice for a Synchro Summon, I can add the Trap Assault Mode Activate to my hand!" Alicia announced, flicking through her deck and adding the card in question to her hand.

"Now what?" Edward muttered "flying monkeys? They'd be better than a Level 7 Synchro with 400 points."

"No, just my Arcanite Magician's ability. When I Synchro Summon him, he gets two Spell Counters." Two black orbs with a golden symbol on each of them appeared and spun round the white robed magician (2400/1800).

"Why's his attack going up?!"

"My Magician gains 1000 points for every Spell Counter he has!" Alicia replied "next I'll set the Assault Mode Activate Arcane Apprentice was nice enough to get me and activate my Spell Power Grasp card! This gives my Magician another Spell Counter and I can take another Spell Power Grasp from my Deck!" Another black and gold orb appeared from mid-air and spun round the Magician (3400/1800).

"Oh crud," Edward growled.

"Arcanite Magician, Arcane Storm!" Alicia cried. Arcane Apprentice raised his staff and launched a volley of lightning bolts from it, shattering Army Genex before shocking Edward and forcing him to his knees.

(Edward: 14100LP)

"I'll end by switching my Fortune Telling Witch Fu into defense mode," Alicia said. The green clothed girl smiled and knelt (0/0).

- (Edward 14100LP) (Alicia 4500LP) -

"I draw!" Edward groaned "I summon my Real Genex Coordinator in attack mode!" A sleek black robot sitting on some kind of hover disk appeared, three red eyes in the sphere of its head glowing (200/100).

"Next I activate the Monster Reborn Spell to revive my Solar Genex!" His shining robot appeared from an ankh of golden energy (2500/1500).

"What's the point of all this?" Alicia growled in irritation.

"This!" Edward exclaimed "I equip Solar Genex with Scroll of Bewitchment to change its Attribute to Dark!" Solar Genex's glow dimmed as a scroll wrapped around its arm.

"Your monster's beaten, Dark or Light!"

"Not quite!" Edward yelled "because my Solar Genex is now a Dark monster, I can Tune it with Real Genex Coordinator to Synchro Summon one of my strongest Genex…!"

Real Genex Coordinator rose into the air alongside Solar Genex and became a crackling sphere of orange energy…

"NO!" Alicia shrieked "that's a Level 9 Synchro Summon!"

"I see you can count," Edward noted "but that won't stop this Synchro from emerging!" The orange sphere of energy split into two glowing rings that surrounded Solar Genex, slicing it down to an orange frame.

"I won't let you do this!"

"Tough, cause it's happening NOW!" Edward cried. Seven glowing stars emerged from the orange frame of Solar Genex and spun within the Synchro rings before an explosion of purple black light shrouded the rings and stars.

"NO!"

"Black steel of the world, rise up in my service! Cast down my foe in this battle, and end this game! Synchro Summon! Unleash your power, Real Genex Kurokishian!" Edward chanted.

A black metal golem emerged in a burst of energy, descending slowly towards the ground, extending out arms like grain silos, ending in glowing thrusters. A glowing disk of pale blue energy spun in its chest and eyes of the same color gazed down at Arcanite Magician soullessly (2500/2000).

"That's just pathetic for a Level 9!" Alicia laughed.

"Too bad you're wrong," Edward replied coldly "you see, when I successfully Synchro Summon Real Genex Kurokishian, I gain control of the highest Level monster on your field. I think Arcanite Magician fits the bill pretty well." Real Genex Kurokishian raised a bulky arm and launched a stream of pale energy at Arcanite Magician, who groaned and hovered over to stand beside the immense Synchro Monster.

"Wha… NO! Arcanite Magician, get your SORRY BACKSIDE OVER HERE NOW!" Arcanite Magician remained impassive.

"This ends now," Edward snapped bluntly "you lose this, Alicia. You might be an elf, and I'm just a human, but no matter what I can win! First, I activate Smashing Ground, which destroys the monster with the most defense on your field, but you only have Fu so it's a pretty easy choice!" A giant fist hammered down from the sky, shattering Fortune Telling Witch Fu as she screamed.

"Arcanite Magician, attack your former master with Arcane Storm!" Arcanite Magician fired bolts of lightning from his staff, catching Alicia and hurling the elf to the ground with a scream.

(Alicia: 1100LP).

"Real Genex Kurokishian…!" Edward began.

"NO! Shadowchaser, MERCY!" Alicia shrieked.

"Unfortunately, you've got the wrong idea," Edward said "no matter what a Shadowchaser is, I'm not one. Real Genex Kurokishian…!"

"But the mark!"

"It's a shaving cut, you blind fool!"

"WHAT?!" the dwarf with the switchblade exclaimed "ALICIA, YOU LIED TO ME, YOU TRICKY BITCH OF AN ELF!"

"Moving on!" Edward interrupted "Real Genex Kurokishian, attack her directly and end this Duel!" Kurokishian raised one of its bulky arms and launched a blast of plasma from the thrusters at the end of the limb, catching Alicia in a searing blast and forcing a scream of rage from her lips.

(Alicia: 0LP)

The elf stood up shakily, groaning as she propped herself up against the wall.

"Not… a damn… Shadowchaser!" she hissed.

"This is your fault!" the dwarf howled "now we'll get the 'chasers down on us for sure, you brainless bitch!"

"THEN KILL HIM ALREADY, YOU SPINELESS TWIT!" Alicia roared. The dwarf glared at her before hurling himself forward, readying the switchblade.

He was about to slice a gash in Edward's throat when a sword sprang from beside the paralyzed victor and blocked the vicious swing.

Standing beside Edward was a tall, hard-faced woman maybe three or four years older then him, dressed in a dark grey tank top and plain grey jeans. She was gripping the sword, a sheer masterpiece of craftsmanship, in her right hand and holding off the switchblade with no effort at all before hurling out a kick and knocking the blade from the dwarf's hand.

Her ebony hair tumbled down her shoulders in a mass of curls and harsh green eyes glared at the assailant from her soft, girlish face. However, something about her deep eyes seemed to make her appear twenty years older, as if she had dealt with horrors beyond the comprehension of most people.

In truth, of course, she had.

"Frederick," she said, her voice measured and calm as she slid the sword into a sheath on her back "it's been a while since we dealt with you. And this elfin whore as well, that's interesting. Where'd you pick up the incompetent help who can't even recognize a Shadowchaser when she sees one?"

Frederick, the dwarf, was now pale-faced as he stared her in the face, trying to stare right into her eyes.

"Joelle…" he began nervously "I don't want any trouble… seriously, I weren't actually gonna…"

"Gonna what? Slash the kid's throat open? I just stopped you doing precisely that."

"No, please… just gimme another chance!"

"Another chance?" she said, now adopting a sarcastic tone "I seem to recall a poor innocent dwarf saying that the last time I ran into him… and I was thick enough to do so. Well, how times change, from attempted mugging to attempted murder… and I doubt Jalal's gonna let me free you this time."

"But… the Treaty… a fair fight!" he pleaded. She sighed.

"Well, I did park my D-Wheel round here…"

"There you go!" he exclaimed "a Riding Duel can sort this mess out!"

"For you, perhaps," she commented "but not her." She gestured to Alicia.

"What're you doing here? What is this? Why'd I just duel an elf?" Edward burst out.

"I'd love to play quiz the Shadowchaser, kid, but I don't have time. Paolo, get him back to base safely or I'll personally get you scrubbing the toilets for the next three days."

Someone else stepped from the shadows, a man slightly shorter than Joelle, wearing a long white shirt that trailed over the top of his jeans like a skirt. He wore black loafers on his feet and a brown leather jacket over his shirt. A plain black cowboy style hat was perched at an angle across his face, hiding his left eye from view. His right eye was a pale brown, slightly watery, and his hair was a dark brown, like Edward's. Paolo smiled at Edward and gestured, leading the bewildered duelist away from Joelle and the dwarf.

"We gonna throw down?" Frederick asked.

"Once the kid's clear," Joelle replied…
