Yugioh the Seven Gems

Chapter 1 Struggles

It was just another day in New Domino City after the defeat of Z-ONE nearly 10 years ago the city was better than ever but the hero Yusei Fudo was feeling down because he has not have any contact with his friends, but this time of peace was the calm before the storm and Yusei's life was going to only get worse.

"That's the fifth duelist this month we've found like this!" Mina yelled as the ambulance drove away from the crime scene carrying the injured man to the hospital. She was a young woman with blue hair wearing the blue suit of the Chief of Special Investigations which she was. Around her were police cars with security officers standing around the scene. Looking behind her she saw the victims crashed green Duel runner with glass from the duel lane barriers scattered on the ground around it.

"Calm down Mina I have enough problems on my list without you giving me a headache." Said Trudge who was next to her in his dark green security uniform. He was a tall man with 6 large strands of black hair hanging over his face with a large scar on the left side.

"I'm sorry dear but this is just so frustrating. It's been over a month and we're still no closer to finding this guy then when we started." She replied the two had begun dating few months after Z-ONEs defeat when Mina had finally gotten over Jack. They had gotten married a few years later.

"I know but what can we do?" He sighed scratching the back of his head.

"We could ask, Yusei, for some help. He has helped us with this type of thing before. Like when he stopped the ghost." She replied

"What!? We're doing just fine we don't need to bother him we just need more time. Besides this is a police matter so why should he get involved?" He yelled. He may have had a good relationship with Yusei now but his pride still got to him especially when Mina was around.

She shot him a glare and he flinched "We don't have more time every day we waste is another duelist we might lose you need to let that pride go sometimes and think about what's good for the city. Besides he needs a little time off that computer". She replied.

"Fine you're right we do need help and maybe some friendly faces could cheer him up", He replied.

"Cheer him up what do you mean? She asked.

Trudge then got nervous. "Oh no reason we just haven't seen him in a bit." He nervously replied trying to cover up his mistake. It didn't work.

She fixed him with a glare, "Trudge tell me now or else."

"Or else what." He stuttered fearfully. In their years of marriage he had seen what she could do when she got angry and he did not want to be on the receiving end of her wrath.

"Do you really wanna find out." She replied putting her hands on her hips as she deepened her glare.

Trudge sighed seeing that he'd lost. "Okay you win. You see he's has not really been himself lately. I noticed it when I last saw him, he's not his usual upbeat self and he looks exhausted.".

"Why would he be like that?" Mina asked confused. The last time she'd seen Yusei was a few months ago and he didn't seem to be acting to different.

"Probably because he hasn't seen or heard from any of his friends in ten years." Trudge admitted before his voice became solemn, "I know that if you went away and I didn't see or hear from you for that long I'd be pretty depressed. As for why he's exhausted, he's been working nonstop for the last few months now."

"I feel so bad for him.", Mina said sadly. She knew the Signers had been distant since they left, but she couldn't believe that they had just abandoned him like that, "Then it's settled." She looked up at Trudge, "We'll go see him tomorrow and ask for his help. After that I'll talk to the mayor about giving him a break and a raise."

New Domino City Power Generator Plant

Yusei was in his lab coat hunched over a computer looking over megabytes of code to ensure that the generator was a full capacity and that no bugs were in the system. He was also looking for ways to increase its performance or make it more energy efficient. Scratching his dark long hair, he looked at his watch, 10:00. Great he'd pulled another all-nighter.

Sitting up he took a sip of his coffee before sighing he'd been doing this over the last couple of weeks for hours on end with no breaks. He thought this job would be more enjoyable if he had gotten some breaks. Though what he really wanted was his friends to contact him after all these years, especially Akiza. If she would contact him he would be able to do this job without any complaints. He had always had a soft spot for her even after first seeing her powers he didn't think she was a monster he felt a need to help her and he thought she was special since she had a mark like him, Jack and Luna.

When he had first seen her face behind that mask he thought she was beautiful. As they saved the world she gained control of her powers and his feelings for her grew from her being a good friend to something more. It wasn't like how he saw Jack and Crow as brothers, it was something different. After looking through books he found that it was called love. He felt sad when she had to go but he knew they would see each other again or that was what he thought. Can't believe it's only been 10 years feels like 50 he thought.

The hiss of a door opening brought him out of his thoughts. He looked up and saw Trudge and Mina walking in he gave them a weak smile. He was happy that they still cared about him.

"Hey Yusei how's it going?" Mina asked with a smile.

"I'm doing fine. How are you two?", He said tiredly.

"We're doing good." She sighed this was going to be hard, but she hoped that he would understand. "Yusei we know the hours are taking a toll on you and we know you're feeling down about your friends." Yusei narrowed his eyes at Trudge

"You told her?" He asked angrily.

Trudge stepped back and replied "She forced me, Yusei, when you get a wife you'll see how scary they can be." Yusei looked down at his words and Mina elbowed him in the chest. He looked at her in confusion and she gestured to Yusei. Seeing what he'd done his expression softened, "Oh sorry ,Yusei, I didn't mean to say it like that I know you and ,Akiza, were close."

"I know or at least that's what I thought." Yusei replied sadly turning away.

Mina stepped forward and put and hand on his shoulder making him look at her, "We know it's hard to be basically ignored by those you love, but we're here to help you and I will personally talk to the Mayor about getting you a break."

"Thanks ,Mina." He replied with a small smile.

Seeing that things were straying from their intended path Trudge coughed gaining everyone's attention, "Yusei, part of the reason we're here is because we have a serious problem and we need your help."

Yusei raised to eyebrow "What problem is that?" he asked.

"Over the last month there have been a series of attacks on turbo duelists similar to what happened with the Ghost. However, that's where the similarities end. You see these duelists have a look of pure terror plastered on their faces and are completely unresponsive. It's like they're in some of coma, but the doctors are stumped." Trudge explained.

"So, you want me to try and stop him like I did with the Ghost?" Yusei asked crossing his arms.

"Well it could be a girl but yeah basically", Mina replied Yusei thought about it, "Please Yusei if you don't then more duelists will be lost. We've already lost five so far.", Mina begged.

"I'll do it." Yusei nodded.

"Oh, thank you Yusei!" Mina exclaimed happily.

"No problem. If you can get me tomorrow off I'll get on it right away.", Yusei told her with a smile.

"You got it Yusei", Mina nodded giving him a smile in return.

Heidelberg, Germany

"Doctor, Akiza Izinski?" A brown-haired nurse asked walking into a hospital office room.

A red-haired woman in a white doctors coat looked up from her desk, "Yes?"

"You've been promoted miss! It also says you're being transferred back to Japan!" The nurse exclaimed with a smile.

"I am!?" She exclaimed happily standing up from her chair. She'd been trying to get transferred home for years now and now it was finally happening.

"Yep here take a look." The nurse replied and gave her the papers.

After looking over the papers Akiza smiled brightly "I'm going home!"

"I'm happy for you, Akiza, but we will be sad to see you go." The nurse said with a small frown.

"I know, I'll miss you guy too," She replied giving the brown-haired nurse a hug which she returned.

"Well I'll leave you now. I have to get back to work don't forget to say goodbye." The nurse said before leaving the room.

Looking back over the papers she began to cry tears of joy. "I'm coming back to you Yusei and nothing will stop me this time." Should I let him know? No I'll let it be a surprise she thought.

Sitting back down in her chair she began to think of the one she loved. Their first meeting was hardly a friendly one especially once she saw that he had a mark like hers. But over time she had grown close with him eventually calling him a friend though privately she wished for a different type of relationship. Perhaps that wish would come true this time she knew they'd have a lot to talk about when she got back, but she hoped that when all was said and done things would turn out alright.

If only she had known what was to come.

Tokyo, Japan

"Mr. Atlas your flight has been booked for tomorrow afternoon." A pink haired secretary in a white suit announced to a man in a white trench coat who was looking out a large window.

"Thank you, Sam", He replied looking over at her.

She blushed "No problem, sir." With that she walked away.

Jack chuckled as he turned back to the window. So many girls wanted him, but he only liked one of them. He pictured the girl with those circle glasses and long dark hair. She probably looks more beautiful now. She was one of the reasons he was going back to New Domino City the other was his friend Yusei he had a score to settle with him to become the true Duel King. He felt bad that he had neglected his friend the last couple of years and he wanted to make it up to him before he left again. He had seen everyone else while traveling, but for some reason he never called his friend. Hopefully I can make it up to him.

Trento, Italy

In a luxurious hotel room, a pair of teal haired siblings were packing their suitcases before they had to leave.

What is this feeling that I have that something bad is going to happen the sister thought as she sensed something dark was approaching.

"Luna, Luna, Luna!" A voice yelled pulling her from her thoughts.

She snapped out of her thoughts, "What Leo?" she replied looking at her brother. When they were younger they had almost been identical, but now it was easy to tell them apart especially since her hair was longer and they never wore the same clothing

"You were just staring into space. Why did you stop packing?" He asked he was wearing a dark blue shirt with cakie shorts.

"Oh, sorry I just had a weird feeling", She replied turning to look out the window.

"Do you think it is a bad feeling?" He asked worried.

"No not really", She lied "Come on let's get back to packing we don't want Yusei any madder at us than he probably already is." She told him. Through their adventures with the signers they had come to see Yusei as a sort of older brother, yet after they had left some force had driven him from their minds until they had found a photo of him and decided to return for a visit.

"Oh yeah you're right let's hurry our flight is tomorrow morning!" He exclaimed.

Luna shook her head even after all this time her brother had so much energy in him. I just hope that the feeling doesn't have anything to do with my friends she thought. Unfortunately, her hope was not strong enough to stop the events from unfolding.

Everett, Washington, United States

"Wow look at that Bald Eagle so majestic." A orange haired man stated watching the avian creature sore over a lake.

"It sure is Crow." His companion a woman with long blonde hair agreed.

"Yeah but it pales in comparison to you Sherry" The man complimented making the girl blush.

"Thank you Crow" She said.

"I'm just glad I have you to say it to." He confessed with a smile.

She kissed him on the cheek and he flashed crimson "Me to Crow."

After the events with Z-ONE when Crow was traveling for his dueling career they had found each other in Paris, France where after many months they got together. Though she still felt bad about her part in Z-ONE's plan Crow had forgiven her.

"We best get back dear if we want to get to the airport in time tomorrow" Sherry said beginning to walk away.

"Okay love I just hope the others and, Yusei, isn't too mad at me for not contacting him after all this time." He said sadly. For some reason, he had forgotten to contact his oldest friend over the years even when he had the time for it.

"Don't worry everything will be fine trust me", She assured him.

"Alright then again you are always right.", He said with a smile following her back to the lodge.

Unfortunately, this time she was wrong.
