I do not any Yu-Gi-Oh series
OC is Sonja -i'll mention the rest when they pop up.
Sonja had never before suffered from nightmares or sleepless nights for years, but that night was the first for a while that she had woken before sunrise and couldn't sleep again.
In her dream, she had watched as Yusei and Jack had duelled in an illegal match at was recognisably the KaibaCorp Dome; Jack had summoned out both of their powerful dragons, Yusei's Stardust Dragon and Jack's Archfiend Dragon. Yusei had taken control of his own Dragon.
Then the most incredible thing had happened: both their arms burnt red in precise patterns and a huge red dragon had appeared out of nowhere, between the two fierce attacks.
It was only a few minutes after jolting awake that Sonja realised there was a bright red light coming from her own arm, the same hue as both of her friends'. She lifted aside her left-hand sleeve.
She had a birthmark on her left arm, in the shape of a diamond with five lines spreading out from the centre like shards of light. Two of those lines were shining a bright red. What did that mean?
Was it some sort of connection to both Yusei and Jack? And did it have any connection to her dream? Or it had been a vision?
But she didn't have the time to dwell on it now. Her Duel Runner was sitting in the garage, and she was anxious to try it out. She slipped on clean clothes and slipped down the stairs in the early morning light, leaving a note on the table to explain where she was.
As she opened the garage, she saw her Runner sitting where she had left it. She turned the engine on, and was rewarded by the shudder of the engine. Sonja zoomed out, into the early morning light. She was headed for an old racing track, abandoned after the Dome had been opened in what was now the City of New Domino.
Suddenly a black blur belted out of an alley and roared alongside her. Crow was sitting on his Duel Runner, a grin on his face.
"Couldn't wait to race?" he asked over the roar of the two engines. For answer, Sonja revved her Runner, which left Crow's Blackbird eating dust. He grinned: he loved it when Sonja challenged him like this. Plus he was eager to show equal speed and what Blackbird could do.
He urged the Duel Runner even faster, heading for a ramp over the Chasm that the two of them had constructed, into the Upper District. They thundered into the Old Dome, whipping around the track.
Sonja's concerns were whipped away as they went around the track. They were unaware of the huge crowd gathering, despite the early hours, to watch in amazement. Most of those in the Satellite had never seen a Duel Runner before, or at least not one that didn't belong to the Securities.
Crow was the first to notice the crowd. "How about we put on a show?" he asked, and Sonja nodded. Their first Turbo Duel began.
Crow unleashed a combo that ended with his summoning out his favourite Synchro Monster in one turn, a humanoid bird known as Blackwing –Armed Wing. It flew alongside Crow, with 2300 Attack and 1000 Defence Points. He ended his turn by summoning Gale the Whirlwind
"You know what I always say –birds of a feather flock together," he said, as he pulled up to Sonja. She laughed –that was his favourite saying.
"You show-off," Sonja said. She pulled ahead, knowing exactly what card to bring out. By summoning a low-level Blaze Inpachi from her hand before activating the Speed Spell Quick Summon, she Special Summoned the Hand of Nephthys before activating its special ability to Summon out her favourite. It wasn't a Synchro Monster, but it was powerful. It was the Sacred Phoenix of Nephthys, a phoenix whose flames roared with red and golden colours as it appeared in holographic 3D, all 2400 Attack points and all. The crowd wooed in awe.
"Another bird for the flock," she said to Crow as her Sacred Phoenix burned brightly above them.
"Now who's showing off?" Crow asked.
"Pity, yours won't be around for too much longer!" Sonja said, and readied to order her attack on the weaker monster.
Suddenly there was a blaring of horns and wail of sirens from outside.
"Oh, come on," Crow groaned. "Not this early in the morning."
The two quickly disengaged the Duel Mode, ending the Duel prematurely, just as three Sector Security Duel Runners pulled into the Old Dome, right in front of the two. Sonja and Crow braked.
"Those Duel Runners are illegal," one of the officers said, and Sonja recognised Trudge right away. He had chased her and Yusei from the hide-out only the night before. "They will be confiscated and held at the Impound Centre in Domino City."
Crow and Sonja looked at each other, both thinking the same thing: they were not going to surrender the Duel Runners. They turned 360 degrees and sped through the exit. Trudge gave pursuit, ordering one operative to stay at the Dome in case they came back. The other Security followed his superior.
Sonja looked around and spotted them closing the gap.
"Looks like we've got a Duel coming up," she called out. Crow looked around, and grinned.
"Yeah, and we get to Duel Trudge on our brand-new Runners. Should be fun, eh?"
"This is Sector Security," Trudge shouted through his loudspeaker. "This is your last chance to comply. Pull over now and surrender."
"Trudge sounds pretty mad," Crow said.
"Yusei must have gotten through the Pipeline," Sonja said. "He must have been chased, and I bet Trudge was the one who got clobbered."
"Yusei got through to the City?" Crow asked. "And you didn't think to tell me about it last night?"
"Guess I forgot," Sonja said, shrugging.
Trudge watched as the two put on another burst of speed. He had a name for one of them: Crow, a marked troublemaker, with a record as flashy as that Duel Runner he was riding. But the girl was a mystery.
He had failed to catch Yusei when he had gotten through to the City, but the word was that he had been arrested and sent to the Facility. And now he was going to send these two to join him. It would be Crow's fourth time there.
He activated his Field World spell, forcing the two racers to activate their own Duel Modes. Now they would only escape if they could out-Duel him.
He laid a card face-down in defence mode, and laid a few spells face-down.
"Sonja, you have first shot," Crow said. Sonja laid out her own defence, a Big Shield Gardna. With 2600 Defense Points, it was a strong defence, and right now that's what they needed.
The other Security laid a second face-down monster.
"Securities and their cautious play," Crow said. In a matter of moments, his combo had kicked out and flipped one of the face-downs. It was pretty much a solid wall with 2000 Defence points. He took a knock for about 400 points.
"OK, strong defensive play," he corrected.
Trudge flipped over the other Security's card, exactly the same as his. Then he summoned a Tuner monster, using its ability to destroy Crow's Blackwing –Armed Wing.
"Hey!" Crow shouted as it vanished from the field.
"Next turn I call out the big guns!" Trudge shouted.
"Sonja, you'd better avenge my Blackwing!" Crow said.
Trudge smiled as he heard that name: so Crow's partner was called Sonja; it wasn't a common name, so it should be simple to track her home down –if she got away from this Duel.
Sonja pulled out another card: Radiant Mirror Force. It was a trap, activated on an opponent's attack, and would destroy all on the field in attack mode. But there was one catch: there weren't three monsters in attack mode on the Securities' field.
Still, it couldn't hurt to put it out. And at some point, if they could endure the hits that were surely coming, she could activate it. She placed it face-down on the field.
There was another card in her hand that could prove useful: Scrap-iron Scarecrow. It was one of Yusei's favourites, and he had given her one of the many copies he had collected. Now, if ever, they needed to avoid attacks, and this card was one way to evade one attack per turn.
The second Security placed a card in attack mode, a monster called Search Striker.
Then it was Crow's turn. He had no idea what Sonja was preparing, but he trusted her. He used a Monster Reborn spell to bring back his lost Synchro monster, and waited.
Trudge did pull out the big gun next, adding another monster to the field and Synchro summoned a Goyo-Guardian. It launched an attack against Sonja's Big Shield Gardna, forcing it into attack mode and bringing it to his side of the field.
Sonja was next. She picked the X-Saber Gardna, one of the five X-Saber series. It was the perfect bait for an attack, weaker than any of the other monsters.
Her turn over, the next Security decided they had waited around long enough and went on the offensive. Sonja smiled as she flipped over her trap. All the monsters on the opposing side were destroyed, apart from the Gate Guardian that had been left in defence.
Crow grinned in delight. It was his turn, and he knew the second Gate Guardian was waiting. He had to crush that threat before he could knock a few points off.
"Go get them, Crow," Sonja grinned, knowing Crow had been preparing a surprise for the past few moves.
And sure enough, Crow combined his most powerful cards in a blistering combo, blowing out the Securities' engines, allowing the two to race over the ramp and into the relative safety of the District were no Security would dare to follow them unopposed.
Trudge punched the display on his Duel Runner. Why was it that all of Yusei's friends have a knack of causing trouble and getting away with it?
Then he switched on his computer, scrolling through the lists of names. Every worker had to fill in a report and photograph for ID reasons. Finally he found a hit: Sonja Walker was registered in the Upper District Oil Refinery. But there was nothing about personal background or family. As far as he could make it out, she was just another orphan.
Now he knew who he was looking for, but he had to find some way to keep an eye on her.
