Hi fellow Yugioh fans, after my GX fic was a flop I decided to try a 5ds fic, this story is my own take on what happened after the fortune cup, so sorry to all those who are fans of the dark signers and Kiryu and the earthbound gods, they may come later I am not too sure at the moment, I've just started work on chapter two, the story DOES feature Yusei and the gang, but this story focus's around the FIFTH signer (or how my main character becomes the fifth signer).
the story's pairings will be OCxOC and faith-shipping, rating may go up later
Chapter 1
The draconian rider
"I'll be damned." Said Jax, a Neo domino resident who lived in the Tops. He was watching the Fortune cup review, he himself was sent an invitation to enter but his family refused to let him, Damn these private tutors, they must've upped my workload deliberately so I wouldn't be able to enter. He thought. His parents were certifiably stupid, swallowing up his tutor's lies about being a slacker, not passing in his homework on time.
"Next thing I know he's gonna say it was on his desk all along." Muttered Jax turning back to the TV seeing the awards ceremony for the winner, a young man from the satellite named Yusei Fudo. "I just wish I could get the chance to duel as well as you do." He muttered.
Jax was moderate in height, with square shoulders and long muscles, his eyes were a piercing green color. His hair was Dark Brown with blonde highlights he was constantly being hounded by his parents to remove them, but who cared about what those idiots were thinking, all they did was dress him up in designer suits and drag him to fancy upper class parties. his attire didn't suit him at all despite his social standing, he was wearing a tight at the neck white dress shirt, a dark earth green tie, black dress pants, and gold-toe tight socks.
Finishing up his work, Jax went out to his private garage where he tinkered with his Duel Runner. It wasn't necessarily a garage rather than a room that wasn't regularly seen that he converted into one, complete with sliding door. Jax's Duel Runner was an Alpha-frame with a motor that could rev her up to speeds rivaling that of Jack Atlas's runner nicknamed the 'Wheel of Fortune' now he had a new goal to meet: rivaling the speeds of Yusei Fudo's Runner. The body was painted black with a dragon's head with red piercing eyes towards the front wheel. A ring on his cell phone pulled Jax out of his thoughts, checking the number he realized it was his buddy Alex. Pulling out his cell he activated it "Hey, Buddy, what's up?" he asked
"Well, Jax this ought to freak you out." Said Alex.
"What, Your paranormal investigator father found new evidence of duel spirits?" asked Jax
"More phenomenal than that." Said Alex, "Y'know how I've been interested in working for your family business?" he asked
'Uh-huh…" responded Jax,
"Well, it would be better if you saw it yourself, so I'm gonna transfer it over to you." He said.
Jax opened his laptop and what he saw made his jaw drop: scans of contracts with world-class crime bosses signed by Jax's dad, deals for Jax himself to be forced into working as a criminal, and evidence of his dad pulling the strings behind many murders of Neo Domino's elite in the economic world which slowly paved the way for dad his dad's success, but what made him even more shocked was the last page in the file: a pact with duelist criminal organization Sonika, saying that they will pave the way for him to run a company that could have the potential to buy out Kaiba Corp by the end 2045 which was this year!
"Oh my GOD I gotta get this info to the police!" he said downloading the info to a chip and stowing it in the storage compartment of his runner.
He had his escape plan plotted out, at midnight was when the streets were empty, he would ride his Duel runner off the roof at an angle that he would land on the road 15 feet below, and finally head for security headquarters.
"Even if you were to get your family behind bars for their crimes of murder, bribery, and other things, what would you do?" asked a voice
Jax whirled around to see a man in a dark trench coat, long black hair, and a scar by his eye. "Who are you?" asked Jax.
"No enemy of yours, someone who wants Sonika down and is willing to help you." Said the man
"I'm listening." Said Jax
The man smiled, "seek out Jack Atlas, he's close to the head of the security department Rex Goodwin so he might be able to help you." The man said about to turn away but stopped, "Oh yes, and take this." He said handing him an envelope, inside was a duel Monsters card, a syncro monster known as Trident Dragon (10/3000/2800) reading his effect Jax deemed it worthy for his deck, and deemed now that the street was empty he charged up his runner and launched himself towards the road.
"My parents will come after me, but I need freedom, that style of living isn't for me, especially with what this data claims they're doing." Jax said to himself. Jax drove for a bit trying to find a place to rest. He saw somebody running his way with a mass of people running after him. Jax maneuvered his Duel runner so he got around the person who was fleeing the crowd and drove head on at the crowd.
"Let's see how you like this!" he said, activating his duel runner and summoning Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV8. "Give this crowd a piece of our minds!" he yelled and Horus arose to the occasion with pleasure. Sending black fireballs at the crowd making them scatter.
Once Jax was done with crowd control he stopped his Duel Runner and the guy he rescued was walking over to him. "Thank you for helping me there, ever since I won the fortune cup tournament kids have been hounding me for autographs, girls for dates, and guys for duels." He said
That was when Jax got a good look at him: he was looking at the guy who just won the fortune cup tournament: Yusei Fudo himself. "Mr. Fudo?" asked Jax with surprise. Yusei Nodded
"Please I like to be called Yusei." Said the spiky-haired duelist
"Where's your Duel Runner?" asked Jax
"Back at my new garage, I'm staying there while security goes to bring my satellite friends over here, I just went out across the street to do some grocery shopping when I got swamped by my new fans, what about you? Not many people walk around with Horus cards in their decks."
"I could tell you, but not here, not now that I broke out of my own home." Responded Jax.
"Well, you could stay at my garage." Said Yusei
"I would be happy to." Said Jax
Yusei led him over to a small garage. The door opened to reveal a rather slapdash living style, spare part bins, a couch, and a workbench on the other wall with other parts of machinery, a TV, and his Laptop. But in the center of it all was Yusei's Duel runner. "You live here?" asked Jax
"Yeah, I feel at ease living around technology and machines, I used a small portion of the money I won from the Fortune cup tournament to buy this place, I have a small apartment on the upper floor, Now that I'm in the pro dueling circuit but it can only take me so far, so as a back up for my income I'm starting up this small Duel runner repair shop, I have various customers, heck even a few pros come here for repairs." Explained Yusei
"Y'know, I've pretty much modified my own Duel runner myself, so if you need a hand to work here, I could help out." Said Jax
Yusei smiled "all right, you're hired."
"YUSEI!" called a voice, and in through the door walked Rally, tank, blitz and nerve.
"Guys!" exclaimed Yusei. Rally ran towards him and gave him the mother of all glomps.
"Yusei, who's this with a Duel Runner?" asked Blitz
"My name is Jax." Replied Jax
"Consider him a new member of the crew, I hired him to help me work this new repair shop." Said Yusei
"All I did was get you out of a tight spot with some fans." Said Jax a little flattered to be considered a new friend of the new turbo duel king.
"I can see you are trustworthy," said Yusei, "Hold on, and I'll fix us dinner." He added and headed upstairs.
Rally turned to Jax "Do you duel?" he asked
"Yeah, I use a deck of dragons." Replied Jax, sitting on the couch. "I duel with what friends I have, I am the best among them, but my parents make it difficult for me to be with my friends, they load me up with all the cards I could ever want, heck they hired a duel runner mechanic to assist me in building my own Duel Runner, and once I became literally the top duelist on the block, my tutors in a desperate attempt to keep me from the top duelist league, they started saying all this bullshit to my parents that I've been slacking off in classes, it was hell. So I ran away."
Everyone was silent; Tank was the one who broke the silence. "And I thought we had it rough." He said.
"So you now work for Yusei?" asked Blitz
"Yeah, it's not like I'm in need of money, I just like working with machinery." Said Jax.
Rally then reached into his bag and pulled out a duel disk "Can You Duel Me?" he asked.
Jax smiled "Sure." He said,
Yusei called down overhearing this: "head upstairs to the roof there is plenty of space for that."
Jax pressed a button on his Runner and the card platform popped off and attached itself to where Jax's deck went in order to create a duel disk, and he and Rally went up to the roof with Blitz, Nerve And Tank following them. "LET'S DUEL!" they said together drawing 5 cards.
Jax: 4000
Rally: 4000
"I'll start." Said Rally, "I'll play the spell card Double summon allowing me to summon twice this turn, so I will summon Green Gadget (4/1400/600), whose ability once it is summoned allows me to add a Red Gadget Monster card to my hand, and I think I'll summon it immediately (4/1300/1500), I will now set three cards face down and end my turn." Said Rally
"Very well, I draw!" said Jax, "First off, I will play Double summon in order to normal summon twice this round, now I will play the spell card Cost Down, allowing me at the cost of one card from my hand to reduce the star level on my monsters by two, so I can summon monsters such as Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6!" he declared summoning a silver wyvern with an avian-style head and beak. (6/2300/1600)"
"Whoa, You use a Horus Deck?!" exclaimed Rally in excitement
"Not just Horus, many other Dragons, but You might see those later in the duel." Replied Jax
"Not unless I bring you down first!" said Rally
"Well, It's still my turn, and I play the spell card Level Up, by sending Horus the Black Flame Dragon Level 6 to the Grave I can special summon Horus The Black Flame Dragon LV8 (8/3000/1800)!"
"Not so fast, Jax I activate My trap card: Demon shackles!" declared Rally as chains came out of nowhere and bound itself around Horus "when activated, the monster with the highest ATK on my opponent's side of the field cannot activate it's ability, as long as it's in play!" declared Rally
"Most impressive, I'll set two cards face down, and I can still attack so Go, Horus strike down Red Gadget!"
"Go Trap card: Waboku, I take no damage and my monsters can't be destroyed as a result of battle!" called Rally.
"Fine, end turn." Said Jax.
"And Mine begins!" said Rally, "and I summon Yellow Gadget (4/1200/1200) and trigger the Trap card: Stronghold the Moving Fortress, When activated, I can special summon this as a monster with 2000 defense, however when I have all three color gadgets on the field at one time, Stronghold gets an automatic 3000 attack!" explained Rally.
"It's the same Attack as Horus." Said Jax simply
Rally smirked "Really? Look again, because I'm playing the spell card shrink, and since Horus's ability is sealed thanks to demon shackles, I you can't negate it, and I'm sure you know what happens next." Said Rally,
"Yes… Horus LV8's attack is cut in half." Said Jax.
"Too right you are, Now, Stronghold, attack Horus with cranking gear fist!" called out Rally as the mechanical behemoth slugged the ancient Dragon into the ground destroying it
"I activate my trap: Defense Draw. I don't take any damage from this attack, plus I can draw a card," said Jax,
"But I still have my other monsters so I will attack with: my gadgets which takes out 3900 of your life points."
Jax: 100
Rally: 4000
"Great I am an attack away from winning!" yelled Rally, jumping around
"Don't celebrate just yet, My move now, and will now take down that fortress of yours with this; the Level 4 tuner monster: Trap Eater, this monster can only be special summoned by sending one of my opponent's traps to the grave, and last I checked, Stronghold the moving fortress still counts as a trap!" exclaimed Jax
"What?!" exclaimed Rally as his Stronghold the Moving Fortress trap card glowed and was swallowed down as a giant fish-like fiend chomped down on the trap card and floating to Jax's side of the field (4/1900/1600), Next I normal summon Masked Dragon (3/1400/1100)!" declared Jax.
"Wait a sec, you have a tuner monster on the field, that means you are going to summon a Level 7 syncro monster!" said Rally in shock.
"Did I say I was syncro summoning now?" asked Jax, "I Now play the equip spell card Syncro boost, this spell gives the equipped monster 500 additional attack points and one additional level so I equip it to Masked dragon (34/14001900/1100)"
"A Level 8 Syncro Monster?!" exclaimed Rally
"Yes, and one you should be slightly familiar with." Said Jax as his monsters started to begin the process of syncro summoning (A/N: the following is Jax's poem he recites when he syncro summons a Dragon syncro monster) "Dragon kin that come and go, come and aid me here below, serpents one and serpents all, come and heed my dragon call! Syncro summon: Red Dragon Archfiend!" called Jax as the giant dragon also wielded by Jack Atlas emerged from a ball of flames. All were jaw dropped
"He has Jack Atlas's Card?!" exclaimed Nerve and Tank at once, Yusei who had come up from his apartment to watch the duel raised an eyebrow, remembering what Rex said in one of their meetings when he asked about the fifth signer
COMMENCE FLASHBACK
"You see, Yusei, I was once the fifth signer, bearer of the dragon's head mark, however before you all could assemble I lost my arm in a tragic accident where my wife and son were killed, the real arm is being held in a secure place until I can find someone worthy of the mark, without the mark on my body, I am useless as a signer, however there is one duelist who I think is up for the job, he also bears the same dragons as you and Jack, however His parents won't let him out of the house to duel, however his family is crammed full of dealings with criminal organizations, however they keep that information secret so we haven't been able to arrest them, I have an agent of mine sent to give him his rightful signer dragon, and help him escape."
END FLASHBACK
"I am not done yet, for you see, remember that OTHER card I played at the start of the duel? Well this is what it is: Go: Assault Mode Activate!" he called out and Red Dragon Archfiend started glowing. "By sacrificing a syncro monster, I can special summon it's assault mode, in this case: Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode (10/3500/2500), Next I will attack with him to destroy Yellow Gadget
Jax: 100
Rally: 1700
"Oh Kami not even my strongest monster can take that thing down." Said Rally.
"Now here comes the fun part, after you take damage from this card, all other monsters on the field are destroyed." Said Jax as a blast of fire spewed forth from the dragon's maw and eliminating any opposition. "Finally I set a card face down and end turn." Said Jax
"I Draw," said Rally I'll set a monster in defense mode and a card face down. And that's it." Said Rally
Jax Smirked, "On your end Phase I'll activate the Trap card Dragon's Rage! Declared Jax.
"What does that do?" Rally asked
Jax smirked "When one of my dragon's strike a facedown monster it deals piercing damage!" he explained "Like Now, Go, Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode strike down his defense monster which was Turbo booster reducing Rally's life points to Zero.
"Wow, Jax that was a great duel!" said Rally.
"Yes you nearly had me." Said Jax they were down in Yusei's apartment eating boxed lunches, even though Yusei could afford better food, he liked to stick with what he was used to, he and his buddies lived on these things in the satellite.
"Um, Yusei?" asked Jax
"Yes?" the crab-headed duelist asked
"You dueled Jack Atlas didn't you?"
At the very mention of the duelist's name the atmosphere turned grim. "Yes, why do you ask?" asked Yusei.
"I'm told he is close to the director of sector security and I need to speak with him." Replied Jax.
Yusei and friends looked a little uncomfortable about the head of security. "Why do you need to see him?" asked Yusei.
Jax reached into his vest pocket and pulled the data-chip that contained the info about his parent's dealings with the international duelist crime syndicate Sonika. "This chip here contains data that a criminal organization known as Sonika would stop at nothing to obtain and keep security from getting a hold of it, possibly my life is at stake here." Explained Jax
Yusei Nodded. "I will help you get the info to Rex Goodwin, let's see if Jack can get a hold of him." Said Yusei, walking to his runner. Jax mounted his runner and charged it up and took off after Yusei, following him to Jack's place. Little did they know that Two unregistered Duel Runners resembling police runners followed them a little ways behind.
Jax noticed this. "Yusei?" he asked
"Yes, I know." Said Yusei. "Do you have tracking software in your runner?" he asked. Jax nodded. "Then lock on to my runner's ID chip, so once we shake them off you can find me." Said Yusei.
Jax nodded and punched in the proper codes to do so. "Okay we'll split up and meet up at the point you find my runner." Said Yusei and he sped off in another direction.
With the two tailing them, "Damn, they must've spotted us, we'll each go after one, once you deal with the king, disable his ID chip so he can't track him to get back together." Said one
"Gotchya" said the other and sped off in the direction Yusei went.
Finally after all my years working the lowly positions in the Sonika underground, slowly working my way up to becoming a runner elite for Sonika, I finally can get vengence for the humiliation you caused me. Thought the man who was tailing Jax.
