I still don't own Yu- Gi- Oh 5Ds.

Chapter 2: Setting Things in Motion

"Ready guys?" Yusei asked. A tall boy with a bandanna nodded and shot Yusei a thumbs up.

"Go for it." Yusei shot a thumbs up back. He sped off on his runner toward the pipeline. When he was close to the opening, a Sector Security duel runner appeared behind him.

"Pull over Yusei! You won't escape from me again!" Officer Tetsu Trudge shouted. Yusei sped up more.

"If you won't pull over, I'll make you surrender!"

Duel Mode on.

Yusei: 4000/Speed Counter: 0

Trudge: 4000/Speed Counter: 0

"I'll start!" Trudge yelled, "I summon Gate Blocker (4/100/2000) in defense mode and one card face down. Let's see you get through that." Yusei drew.

"I summon Speed Warrior (2/900/400), in attack mode. The turn he's summoned his attack points are doubled. (2/1800/400). Now I special summon Turbo Booster (1/0/0). Now I activate his ability to sacrifice him to destroy Gate Blocker." The little yellow robot launched itself at the wall, shattering it.

"You still lose life points," Trudge pointed out.

Yusei: 3800/Speed Counter: 0

Trudge: 4000/Speed Counter: 1

"And I activate my trap, Broken Blocker. I can summon two Gate Blockers, in defense mode." Two more walls appeared in front of Yusei.

"Great, more roadblocks," Yusei groaned. Trudge started his turn.

"I activate my Speed Spell Overboost. I gain 4 speed counters but during the End Phase, my speed counters drop to one," Trudge explained.

Yusei: 3800/Speed Counter: 0

Trudge: 4000/Speed Counter: 6

"Now I summon Jutte Fighter (2/700/900). Next I tune my level two Jutte Fighter with one of my level four Gate Blockers." A little man in a yellow robe holding two tuning forks appeared before turning into rings that surrounded on of the Gate Blockers. The wall turned into four stars.

"I synchro summon my Goyo Guardian (6/2800/2000). I also activate the Sonic Buster speed spell. Now you take damage equal to half Goyo Guardian's attack points." The clown like fighter glowed before letting the energy hit Yusei.

Yusei: 2400/Speed Counter: 0

Trudge: 4000/Speed Counter: 6

"I activate a second Sonic Buster to deal you the damage again."

Yusei: 1000/Speed Counter: 0

Trudge: 4000/Speed Counter: 6

"Goyo Guardian, attack Speed Warrior." Trudge's monster attacked Speed Warrior.

"I activate my Scrap Iron Scarecrow. It negates your attack then resets itself on the field," Yusei explained.

Yusei: 1000/Speed Counter: 6

Trudge: 4000/Speed Counter: 1

Yusei drew.

"I summon Junk Synchron (3/1300/800). Now I tune Junk Synchron with Speed Warrior to Synchro summon Junk Warrior (5/2300/1200). Now I play Speed Spell Double Summon to summon Nitro Synchron (2/400/800)."

"You shouldn't have enough speed counters!" Trudge protested.

"Check again!" Yusei called. Trudge looked at his screen to see that Yusei had six speed counters!

"What!" Trudge said, before remembering Yusei's Slip Stream card. Trudge growled at the memory.

"I tune Nitro Synchron with Junk Warrior to synchro summon Nitro Warrior (7/2800/1800). The turn I activate a speed spell, Nitro Warrior gains 1000 attack points. (7/2800-3800/1800). Nitro Warrior, attack Goyo Guardian!" The green monster punched Trudge's monster, destroying it.

Yusei: 1000/Speed Counter: 6

Trudge: 3000/Speed Counter: 1

"With Nitro Warrior's other effect, he can switch one of your monsters to attack mode and attack again!"

"No!" Trudge shouted. The two duelists had been dueling in the pipeline and their time was almost up. The green monster punched a now in attack mode Gate Blocker.

Yusei: 1000/Speed Counter: 6

Trudge: 0000/Speed Counter: 1

Trudge's duel screen lit up with an X. Trudge kept doggedly after Yusei. Both duelists made it out of the pipeline.

"I won't stop hunting you Yusei!" Trudge roared. Yusei shook his head at the man's persistence. I gotta ditch this guy. Yusei thought. He zigzagged through the streets, trying to lose Trudge. He continued on, trying to think of a way to lose the officer. His thoughts were interrupted by a rich brown duel runner, its sleek frame that allowed it to move a bit faster. Its cover had an ornate tree and roots design either etched or carved into it. He looked further closer to see a single person sitting there but it looked like it could maybe sit two. As the two passed, he heard,

"There's an alley just around the corner, I'd recommend you hide out in there." Yusei looked back and decided to take the rider's advice. He turned in and powered his duel runner down, allowing it to blend into the alley way a bit better. How is this going to help me? All Trudge has to do is look down here. He was brought from his thoughts by Trudge yelling,

"Pull over!" I heard the rev of an engine and then a loud crash. He cringed slightly almost hoping that Trudge was okay. Yusei peeked around and saw the rider come over.

"Thank you!" Yusei said.

"You should see the officer," the other rider said. She wore a brown skintight dress with a red scarf around her neck and a bomber over the ensemble. She paired it with leggings and boots. Yusei cracked a smile and chuckled. He thanked the rider one more time and left. A little while later, Yusei realized he never asked for her name. he paused for a moment to think.

"Long time, no see Yusei!" he heard. Yusei looked up to see Jack standing on an overpass.

"Hello Jack," Yusei replied.

"Still miss your Stardust Dragon," Jack taunted, "How 'bout this? I give you a chance to win it back." Yusei narrowed his eyes and nodded.

"Alright." Yusei followed Jack to the Kaiba Dome.

"Impressive isn't it? Television just doesn't do it justice. Now imagine it packed with people screaming your name. Of course you'll never know what it feels like," Jack said.

"Let's just duel," Yusei said.

Yusei: 4000/Speed Counter: 0

Jack: 4000/Speed Counter: 0

After the duel

Yusei had a red glowing mark on his forearm. Jack stood across the track from him, also having a glowing mark.

"Jack what's going on?" Yusei asked. Then lights from Sector Security cars appeared behind Jack.

"Your under arrest! Put your hands up!" one said into a megaphone. No, there's no time for me to hide! Yusei thought.

A sigh escaped a girl's lips. Hmmm, should I intervene or wait for a more opportune moment? I' d wait, Rue…right now there is a lot of security down there. And even you in all your racing knowledge wouldn't be able to get put of this one. Plus there is someone else watching. Rue hummed as she looked up to see a dark complected boy standing across the way, also watching. She shivered just as she saw him shiver and look up. Blushing, she quickly looked down and turned to leave. He feels different, almost like you. I felt something…primal from him. Rue hummed again, deep in thought. She perked up as she heard footsteps echo down the corridor after. Looking over her shoulder, she saw the boy from across the way. Mentally face palming herself, she ran towards the exit. Then it was race, she wove in and out of objects as she made it to the exit and her duel runner. She powered it up and took off. I still need to figure out a way to help that boy, maybe I'll pay a visit to him at the Facility. Something tells me that will be fun. Rue snorted at her duel monster's sarcasm as she continued on home.

He watched as the girl drove away from the arena. What was she doing here? He heard growling in his head. Do you have to be so loud? But maybe she was that boy's "guardian angel". Maybe I should keep an eye out for her.

In a different alley somewhere

"They're close!" Atli exclaimed. The boy who was with him smiled maliciously, thinking about the two bloodlines they picked up on. Very soon, The Gladiator and The Dinosaur will fall!
