Ghostly Immortal ~ The 6th Signer
In his tower of seclusion Goodwin stared out his window far off in the distance concentrating. He seemed like something was bothering him but Goodwin would never tell anyone what was really on his mind. This wasn't just a bother it was something that was worrying him, Goodwin knew something was up and it wasn't his own doing. Angel was sitting on the couch looking at her mask it was her way to hide what was on her mind, how she was feeling and lock away secrets no one would know. Blaine entered the office placing the document he had been working on so hard and finished on Goodwin's desk. "Just the boy I was hoping to see." Goodwin turned from the window. "Are you ready for today's challenge?" "Yes sir it doesn't seem like much of a hassle." Blaine answered. "Its good to hear you say that. You will find a raise in your next paycheck and here is the envelope you will need." Goodwin pushed a letter sized brown envelope towards Blaine. "And Angel, try to stay out of trouble." "I'll try." Angel said putting her mask on. "You had better I don't want to hear of you causing anyone any trouble." Goodwin turned his attention back out the window. Angel looked at Blaine. "So I have a handler like Mr. Atlas? At least mine is cool." Blaine smiled. "Thank you miss Angel." "Its not a permanent position so don't worry about that. Did you finish all your work Angel?" Goodwin asked. "Just about I don't have anyone to duel with though." Angel said. "You are such a bored duelist but soon she will have plenty to do. Who knows it might be something that helps the whole city."
Angel and Blaine left the office starting down the hall. "Mr. Atlas would be a good challenge maybe he'll duel with me." Angel said. "No, we will leave Mr. Atlas alone." Blaine said. Jack was probably still in a bad mood over what had happened before. "Then I know someone else I can bother for a duel." Angel hurried down the hall. "Wait who's that?" Blaine followed. "Yusei of course! You're going to take me to the Facility he'd make a great dueling partner. Besides he doesn't look like he belongs there anyway." Angel said. "I was afraid you were going to say that." Blaine said. "Live a little. I have to make things interesting while I'm hanging around here." Angel said. Even though he didn't want to go there again Blaine drove them to the Facility. It looked just as cold and grey as ever, uninviting and scary. Blaine had already gotten clearance to go inside, so when Angel did she had to take off her mask while Blaine showed one of the guards his I.D. card. They were shown to the cell where Yusei was being kept. "There he is!" Angel said excited. Yusei looked up at them. "What are you doing back here?" "We're breaking you out of this place kid." Angel said. "More like letting him go." Blaine said. "No way! He's going to be my dueling partner." Angel said. "Great." Yusei wasn't as excited as she was about that idea. "It beats being stuck in here. Who knows what will happen to you if you stay." Angel smirked a little. Blaine took a key out of the envelope Goodwin had given him and opened the cell door. He hadn't mentioned that Goodwin gave him specific orders the night before to get Yusei out of the Facility. "Cool you got one of those keys like the guards have. Now come on kid your new life awaits you." Angel took Yusei's arm and pulled him out of the cell. Just as she had done that their arms started to glow again this time it didn't hurt as bad like the first time they had met. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Yusei complained. "Let's go miss Angel." Blaine said. Angel kept hold of Yusei's arm following Blaine. "You don't have to do that he can walk and I don't think he's going to run away." Yusei looked around wondering where'd he run to. "Aww okay." Angel let Yusei's arm go the glow on their arms faded away. "That's a little better." Yusei said. "I'm surprised they cooperated today." Angel looked at Yusei. "No one will miss one little kid. Just look at that face he's way too innocent to be locked away." "Your friend is very hyper." Yusei commented. "I'm watching her for my boss." Blaine said wanting to get out of the Facility as fast as he could. "Oh right," Yusei said.
Blaine drove the three of them back to Goodwin's building he was relieved to be away from that prison and the people inside of it. "Look at him." Angel got a better look at Yusei especially his blue eyes. She went to touch Yusei's cheek as she had noticed from some of the guys in the Facility had yellow marks on their faces but Yusei didn't have a mark on his face. "Miss you are embarrassing him." Blaine said. "Well I'm not use to this kind of attention." Yusei said. Blaine looked around. "We better stay outside." It didn't feel safe to head inside the building right now. "What are we going to do out here? Won't Goodwin be mad if I'm not in the building? Hey you helped me find a dueling partner that will help me better my skills." Angel said. "I suppose we could find a place to duel." Blaine said. "Might have a problem with that I don't have my deck. They took that from me when I went to the Facility." Yusei said with a frown. "Poor kid." Angel said. Blaine held out Yusei's deck. "How'd you do that?" Yusei asked as he took his deck putting it back where it belonged. "I had a feeling you'd be released today." Blaine answered. "That might explain why they had trouble with my marker." Yusei said. "Marker?" "You know when they send one of us Satellites to the Facility they mark us." Yusei explained. "Oh yes that's right." Blaine said. He wasn't paying much attention his mind was on his work. "How long do we have to stay out here?" Yusei asked. "Until my boss- Oh no its Mr. Atlas!" Blaine shoved Yusei into some bushes hiding him from Jack. Jack was walking out of the building he looked like he had important things to do like always. Most likely he was going to prepare for another turbo duel later that evening. "Okay let's go inside." "Cool." Angel pulled Yusei out of the bushes. "Wait, he's not coming inside with us." Blaine said. "We can't leave him out here. He's my dueling partner." Angel said. Jack looked over and right away stormed back into the building to tell Goodwin. Blaine grabbed Angel's arm pulling her in the building rushing down the hall arriving at Goodwin's office the same time Jack did. Now it would become a battle to save Yusei once again. "Goodwin this brat let that Satellite in here!" Jack complained. "What Satellite? I don't see anything." Angel said looking around only to provoke Jack more. "Not you! Him!" Jack pointed to Blaine. Blaine just stood there having to think fast on his feet. "I think Mr. Atlas is tired." "Perhaps. Jack you really are overly stressed about that boy you must be seeing things. You need to stop worrying so much" Goodwin acted as nothing had been going on. "Where is he? I know I saw him!" Jack shouted. "Mr. Atlas no one is here." Blaine said. "There is no one here but us." Angel added. "Maybe what you need is a nice quiet vacation." Goodwin suggested. "I don't need anything! I want that Satellite out of here!" Jack demanded. "I'll show you to your car Mr. Atlas." Blaine led Jack out of the office and closed the door. It was the best thing to do right now and hopefully would calm Jack down at least a little for the time. He needed something constructive to do with his time.
"So you brought Yusei here. Didn't you think that would cause problems? Jack is the champion he doesn't need Yusei around." Goodwin said to Angel. "I couldn't leave him in that place. He's so innocent and cute and I needed someone to duel." Angel said. "Someone to duel against to keep you busy isn't someone you picked up from the facility. What am I going to do with you?" he said. "Not ground me?" she said. Blaine happened to entered the office knowing Angel must still be there and she was still his responsibility to watch until the end of the day. "Make sure that from now on Angel does not leave this building without my permission. If I hear her going out again I'll have her locked in her room." Goodwin said. "But daddy what about-" Angel started to ask about Yusei since he was still outside. It wasn't safe for him out there people from the city wouldn't take kindly to someone of his kind if they saw Yusei wandering around in the city by himself. "Not another word. Go to your room." Goodwin said. Angel didn't say anything else she left the office worrying about Yusei. Blaine said nothing about that information and bowed. "I'm sorry sir it won't happen again." "I hope not. You are free to go now." Goodwin said. Blaine nodded leaving the office as well. Goodwin turned back to the window shaking his head. "Now that Satellite Yusei Fudo is running around out there somewhere. I hope for his and Jack's sake they don't meet up again. At least not yet."
"I hope I don't get sent back for this." Yusei thought to himself. The only thing he could assume is that no one would be coming for him for quite some time. Instead of waiting around Yusei made up his mind to take a walk. It was safer than standing outside Goodwin's building because not only was he there Jack was there along with many other people he'd rather not have discover him. On the sidewalk Yusei kept the questions in his mind somehow he'd have to get answers. What was this all about? What was that mark on his arm? Why did Jack and Angel have one too? "I don't know what this mark is but I have an idea what it can do." Yusei didn't get far before someone came up behind him. The person clasped his hand over Yusei's mouth taking the boy away. Down a darkened path he threw a blindfold around Yusei tightening it with his free hand. Yusei struggled to get free but it was difficult to fight an enemy he couldn't see. All of this happened because Yusei was walking around the city where he didn't belong. At last they stopped in a building. "Hello Yusei how are you?" His captor said then smacked Yusei on his backside. "Still got that nice a-" "Ace… Its been too long." Yusei interrupted. "How'd you know it was me?" Ace asked removing the blindfold. "Who else would give me such a unique welcome." Yusei said looking at Ace he had blue hair and green eyes. He laughed "I'm glad you remember me Yusei. I'd rather you not go off finding more trouble." Then he looked thoughtful. "Hey you were at the Kaiba Dome dueling Jack Atlas! That was a pretty sweet trick you pulled." Yusei looked surprised. "How did you know about that?" "The whole city saw that red dragon. But me, I saw a little more. It wasn't my business to see but you know hacking skills and all." Ace motioned to a shelf full of computers one of them on a desk turned on. "Didn't they take you to that Facility? Shouldn't you have a mark then?" "Yeah they did. Its kind of a long story. Listen, Ace can I borrow your computer? I have some research to do." Yusei said. "Sure help yourself." Ace said. "Thanks." Yusei sat at the computer and began working. "Look Yusei… I'm sorry about that." Ace started he could tell Yusei wasn't being friendly to him. "After I left the Facility Goodwin made me an offer I couldn't turn it down. We all want to live in the city even you Yusei." Yusei stopped what he was doing to glance up at Ace. "I never meant to hurt anyone by coming here." "Its alright Ace I'm not mad. So what did Goodwin tell you?" Yusei asked. "After I got out for good behavior Goodwin offered me a job he was impressed with my computer skills. The only catch was I couldn't return to Satellite." Ace kind of laughed. "Goodwin probably wanted to keep me from hacking into the security system again. But you know he can still track me. You're lucky." Ace touched the yellow mark on his cheek. "What are you up to?" "I want to find out about that girl. I want to know who she is and what she's up to." Yusei said. "A girl hu? Good for you. Just don't get me in trouble with what you're doing." Ace patted Yusei on the back. The building Ace brought Yusei to must have been where he worked or at least a workshop for computers. It was the perfect place for Yusei to work in peace he knew no one would find him here. He sat at the wooden desk that seemed like it had been used a lot. There was a shelf full of computers to the side they were all wired for distinct purposes. Towards the back was several monitors Yusei hadn't taken the time to notice that there were images of not only parts of Domino City but of Satellite as well. Ace made himself comfortable in another chair beside the door they had come through he picked up a magazine flipping through the pages printed with images of technical supplies.
Knowing very little about this girl would take longer to figure her out. Yusei knew her name and that she is a signer so what could his research pull up? With such luck he was able to find her school record, Yusei began to read what he found and what surprised him most was her name. "Her name is Angel Goodwin…?" He continued reading. Angel is a second year Obelisk Blue, uses a deck called Royal Protection, her dueling style is beat down which means she doesn't give her opponent much of a chance during a duel. She comes prepared for most anything that is coming her way. And she has a dueling name, Dark Princess. She is sixteen years old and her grades are nearly perfect but Goodwin pulled her out of school a few weeks ago the reason being unknown. That would be just like Goodwin to hold onto more secrets. To keep her grades up and make sure she doesn't miss out on any school work he is having her homework delivered. Then there were the incidents at Duel Academy locked up in her file. Shortly after being accepted in Duel Academy Angel was in a duel with another student when the duel intensified things got out of hand Angel's monsters became more than just holograms on a dueling platform, they say it was a technical malfunction. Then there was the aura of negative energy tearing away at the platform where they stood. This energy cracked and crumbled parts of the platform making it dangerous for anyone else around the students didn't know what to make of this and blamed Angel. When someone pushed her too much she could summon a monster to deal out excessive battle damage. Though Angel was a good student she seemed troubled during her first year at Duel Academy. During her second year things eased up but this time when Angel dueled she insisted on wearing a mask but she still seemed unhappy and didn't really have any friends. Yusei thought this had to be because she's a signer he felt kind of bad for Angel even if he couldn't fully understand what she was going through. He decided to dig a little deeper Yusei wanted to know what Goodwin knew about all this and because Ace now works for Goodwin there was a good chance he could hack into those files from the computer he was currently working on. After a few minutes Yusei directed his way to another file about Angel this file would contain more information than the last. The personal file noted that something terrible had happened to Angel a few years ago though it didn't say what, that information was blocked. It went on to say that after the incident Angel's psychic abilities started to get out of hand. "She's a psychic as well? Hm." Yusei found it hard to believe but it was right here in a file Goodwin typed out himself. He read that Angel claimed to have visions or flashbacks a few months after that but later when her powers calmed these stopped. Also Angel suffered amnesia so when she entered Duel Academy she remembered nothing of previous events. There was more information that was blocked only Goodwin would know what the rest said. Goodwin did note that he noticed a strange glowing mark on Angel's arm. "That's it? This is leading up to something but its locked up tight. There is a lot of this file that has been locked or blocked out. Goodwin has an idea of what's going on." Yusei leaned back in the chair. "Why did he take her out of school now? What happened to her? What controlled her powers? Why does she have a mark too? What does this mean?" Yusei looked at his arm being left with more questions than answers.
