Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's: Royal Treasures.

By A88mph

Notice: This is a work of fiction. Yu-Gi-Oh! Belongs to all that hold the Copyrights to it. (Including Kazuki Takahashi, Konami, and all others I may not know about.) This Fan Fiction uses the U.S. TCG Card versions, names, and Rules. (And maybe some made up cards.) Real Yu-Gi-Oh Characters and Items are referred to by their 4Kids given names (not because I'm some 4Kids fan, but because I've played World Championship 2009 so often, that I'm use to them. For example, 'D-Wheels' will be called 'Duel Runners'.) The U.S. TCG Advanced and Traditional Formats has been ignored in this story for the most part so that opponent decks look more intimidating and so that there is no need to update the story every time a ban list comes out. However, it may show consistency with ban list's from before September, 2009. Also the Speed Counter costs in turbo duels are completely made up, or based of the costs in Yu-Gi-Oh! Stardust Accelerator: World Championship 2009. Most, if not all, Duels were played with My Deck being the main Characters, and the Opponents decks are Decks I have made with Yu-Gi-Oh Virtual Desktop. Version 9.0 Final, witch can be found at .com, using a variety cards in it up to the Ancient Prophecies Booster Packs till Duel 16, then Stardust Overdrive till Duel 26, then the Protagonist has some cards from Hidden Arsenal for the rest of the Fan Fiction. Both sides in most, if not all, Duels were controlled by me. In some duels, the drawing was controlled to make the Duel more intimidating. Some Decks have been altered throughout the story, and I make no notes as to when and what the changes are. If I release any deck lists, it will be the Final versions. The story itself takes place in the 5D's World some time long after the events of 5D's ends. Also, this Fan Fiction was started before I saw the start of the Dark Signer Plotline in 5D's Season 2, and as I saw further episodes, there may have been some influence in later chapters. Also, any factors from Season 3 and up do not apply to this Fan Fiction. Well, I think that takes care of the formalities. Without further delay, I hope you enjoy.

Duel 1: Setting out, Behold the forgotten Dragon.

It amazes me how far we have come in history. That we have somehow laid down, if not our hatred, our weapons: Guns, Knives, and Bombs. And have learned to settle fights and disputes in a more peaceful manner: by playing "Duel Monsters". I wasn't born when It happened, so I don't know how we got this far. But I see it all around me, so I know we have. If only the old hatreds died with the violent ways. Class wars still rage on. The lower class has all the weak common cards, and the Rich have all the powerful rare cards. People long ago thought that it would all end when Neo Domino City would finally open its doors to the Satellite and everyone would be equals in due time… they were wrong.

I live here in Royal City. By comparison, Neo Domino City looks like the Satellite to this City. As for the actual Satellite… well. My Mother's company bought out Industrial Illusions in order to expand. Now she calls the shots on card production. And she pretty much lets everyone make their own counterfeit cards. Only pros use official cards anymore, mainly because under her watch, nothing new has been made in years, and that's mostly because of the Great Card War that Japan, The United States, and Great Britten are waging with North Korea. As I said before, we are now civil, but childish.

One of my favorite stories of the Satellite was about 80 years ago when the great Yusei Fudo Defeated the Neo Domino City King: Jack Atlas. But even Yusei had to fall to another eventually. Then that king fell, who then fell, and the cycle just keeps on going. But Yusei was the Duelist that brought hope to all in the Satellite. But some 20 years after Yusei's victory, Royal City was constructed. And the Satellite and its residents would never see class equality ever.

I know that there is a way to set thing right even further then our ancestors have managed so far. And if no one else will do so, then I will. The satellite, although the poorest of the 3 major cities, is no longer just a big landfill for Neo Domino City… It's far worse. Neo Domino City has found a better way to dispose of their trash. However, Royal City is to stubborn to see light of that as well and now the Satellite get all their trash, witch equals up to about 10 times more. I can only imagine how they live… but then again, I intend to find out first have. Soon it will be 2:00 A.M. and I will make a run for it on my Duel Runner.

"Is everything all set William?" I said to my most loyal of Butlers. I vowed I would never call any of then servants like Mother calls them.

"As you requested Master." William responded.

"I told you, I don't care what code you were instructed to live by, you can call me by my first name." That was the only thing I could never get across to him. "Do you even know why I'm running away?"

"Of coerce I do. You're Mother, the mistress; keeps you under her big thumb and plans on arranging you to be married to your fifth cousin within the next year. Even I think that wrong. But I'm the servant, and have no say in your families' affairs. This way to the Garage please."

When is he going to get it? "First off, you are not my servant, you are my butler. NEVER make yourself sound lower then you really are. Second. I want you to make sure that no one tries to come after me for as long as you can. I need as much time as I can get if I'm to make it to the Satellite."

"As you wish Mast- I mean, Richard."

"Thank you." We entered the huge Garage where my family kept hundreds of cars and Duel Runners, Virtually one for every day of the Year for each of us, that being my Mother, and older Brother. I only have one Duel Runner, and although I don't like showing off my families money, that doesn't mean I don't like nice stuff every now and then. My Duel Runner is a teal 1950's Harley Davidson, imported from America, custom fitted with my Mom's companies dueling tech, thus making it a Duel Runner. I would use the main highway into Neo Domino City first, and then take the boat into the satellite. Or at least that's the plan. "You have been a loyal friend to me William. I hope when all is said and done, we will see each other again."

"I hope so to." He opens the Garage door and yells "Now go!"

My Duel Runner Shot off like a rocket down the driveway and pass the gatehouse. Here I am: 17, and on the run. Unfortunately the Guard took notice of my leave and hoped on his Duel Runner and chased after me. But I was a ways away, so he had to try to catch up. Again, unfortunately, he did just that, and as soon as I got on the highway to. Although it's never used at night anyway, so there was plenty of room to go full throttle. But I got no chance to do that either.

The next thing I knew the screen on my Duel Runner was saying "Duel Mode Activated: Auto Pilot Initiated." Damn, he got me lock in. this can only mean one thing: he wants a duel.

"Richard, it's me Jose, I challenge you to a Duel, and if I win you come back to the manor without a fuss. That's my prize."

"And if I win," I said in response, "You will head back without me and say you could not find me. That's my prize."

"Deal, Lets duel" Said Jose. Both our Life Point Counter read 8000 points and the speed counter read zero, for now. "I will go first." He Draws. Our speed counters read one counter for each of us. "I'll start by playing the Field Magic Card Gaia Power witch I can play if I have 1 speed counter." The road around us became a huge forest with a big tree in the distance. Thank God for Auto Pilot, or I would have crashed because I can't see the road. Really good holograms!

"They're called Spell cards now Jose."

"I know that, Force of Habit." He replied. "Then I will summon Alpha, the Magnet Warrior in attack mode, and end my turn." A robot man made of magnets with a sword and shield made the same appeared. Because of Gaia Power, its Attack points are now 1900. This will be difficult.

"My draw" I exclaimed The Speed counter are at 2 all now. "I'll set a monster Face down, one card face down, and play Gravekeeper's Servant by removing 2 speed counters." My counters dropped to zero and my Duel Runner slowed down and fell behind Jose's. "I end my turn."

"My turn," said Jose. SC's him: 3, me: 1. "I summon Counselor Lily and Synchro Summon Psychic Lifetrancer in Attack mode." Crap, that's strong. "Attack his face down!"

"I lose my own Counselor Lily, but you lose the top card of your Deck by my Spells effect." He lost Ground Collapse. "Then I end my turn."

My draw, SC's him: 4, me: 2. my eyes widened because of what I drew. I thought to myself, "Great Grandpas Favorite card! But I can't summon you yet." Then I spoke. "I play one card face down and end my turn."

"My turn" Him: 5, me: 3. "I play a monster face down, and attack!" he discarded Gamma the magnet warrior. Pity, he could have used that.

I exclaimed, "I activate Sakuretsu Armor, Killing Lifetrancer!" And she was beaten.

"Then I end my turn." Jose said.

"My draw," Him: 6, me: 4. that's a good sum. "Finally, something good. I summon Spear Dragon and attack!"

"Ha! You flip Big Shield Gardna and lose 200 Life points!" Dang it. "Plus your Dragons effect puts him in defense mode." Double dang it!

"Then I use all my counters to play Fissure and end my turn."

Him: 7, me: 1. "I summon another Alpha and attack!" said Jose. He discarded X-Saber Airbellum. I lost Spear Dragon.

"My draw" I said. Him: 8, me: 2. Life points stand at him at all 8000, me at 7800. "I set a monster and end."

"My turn," Him: 9, me: 3. "I set a card, and attack." He lost Dark Bribe.

"You flip Marshmallon!" His Life Points dropped to 7000, and he lost a speed counter. I have the lead.

"Then I set a monster and end." Said Jose.

"My Draw," Him: 9, me: 4. I have enough counters, but I needed to speed up the duel. We were halfway down the highway. I could see Neo Domino City on the horizon. "I play Different Dimension Capsule, using 3 counters, and end my turn."

"My turn," Him: 10, me: 2. "Now you will lose boy! I spend all speed counters to play Monster Reborn to bring back Lily and Synchro for X-Saber Urbellum!" His duel Runner slammed its brakes because he used so many Speed Counters.

Then I exclaimed "Black Horn of Heaven!" his new Synchro was destroyed.

"Damn you… Then I set a monster and end. Your move."

Counters now are at him: 1, me: 3. "I Summon Krebons and end."

Jose's turn. 2 to 4 counters. "I set a card face down, and use both counters to play Monster Reincarnation. He discarded Giant Solder of Stone for his X-Saber Tuner. "Now die fool! I summon my incarnated monster, and flip my other stone solder, then Synchro for the deadly Goyo Guardian! I Attack Krebons!" Discarding Giant Rat.

"I Activate Krebons effect." Our Life Points are tied.

"Fine, I end my turn. What can you come up with now!?"

"I'll show you." I drew. 3 to 5 on counters. My capsule gave me my card, and I went to work. "Without tribute I summon Majestic Mech-Ohka. "

"Synchroing!" Jose though. "I'll play it when it's summoned."

"I Synchro Summon with Krebons and Ohka…. STARDUST DRAGON!"

"Bottomless Trap Hole!" Jose Exclaimed!

"No good! Stardust dies to negate!"

"Damn!"

"Then I play Lightning Vortex with 3 counters, and end my turn. Stardust comes back."

"How did you get Stardust Dragon?"

"Mother gave him to me, Along with remakes of the other 5 dragons."

"Vary well, I draw." Him: 4, me: 3. "I summon Barrier Statue of the Drought. End turn."

Strange, but vary well. "I draw." Him: 5, me: 4. Perfect. I tribute Marshmallon for Jinzo!"

"Damn you boy!" His monster died, and so did 3400 of his Life Points, and 3 speed counters. He now has 3600. I have 7000.

"Your turn," I said.

"My go." Jose said. Him: 3, me: 4. "I set a monster and end."

"My draw," Him: 4, me: 5. "You know Jose, there is reason behind why I'm running… and that's because I want to live freely. And this is the card that will help me do so, after I summon Kaibaman!"

"Wait," Jose Exclaimed, "Then that means!-"

"That's right Jose, and it's no reproduction!" I Exclaimed. "I summon my Great Grandfathers Favorite card! Come Forth BLUE-EYES WHITE DRAGON!" Though still playable, they were vary worn out cards now, all 3 even had to be restored once. Jinzo killed his face down, Stardust Weakened him, and Blue-Eyes finished him. I won. Jose's Duel Runner Wobbled as its wheels Dangerously Locked up as every losing players Duel Runner dose. I really don't understand why, they just do. Now I was freed, and I rushed on into Neo Domino City.

The last words I herd Jose Say as I went on were "I will bring you back home Richard Seto Kaiba!"
