Satellite's Crimson Savior

Chapter 2: "Max, meet Crimson Lightning!"

Sixteen years have passed since the day Yusei and the gang brought me into their lives. I even call Yusei "dad" at times. I learned to duel like a pro, now, and thanks to that, we've gotten out of some sticky situations with rival duel gangs.

One morning, bright and early…..

Max….. MAX!

I roll out of bed, crashing onto the hard floor below.

"Owwwww,"

I look up and see Yusei, standing before me with the funniest Cheshire grin on his face.

"Did you sleep well?" asked Yusei jokingly.

"Yeah, no thanks to you," I jokingly say back.

"Come on. There's something I want you to see," says Yusei.

We both go over to the old highway on Yusei's duel runner, and when we got there, Rally was there, ready and waiting for us.

"Close your eyes, Max," says Yusei.

I do as I'm told and close my eyes.

"Ready?" asks Yusei as he stands by something big.

"Ready as I'll ever be," I say.

Whoosh! He pulls off the tarp to reveal… a DUEL RUNNER!

"Open your eyes," says Yusei.

When I do, I can't believe my eyes. There, standing before me, was a crimson red and gold duel runner that looked almost like Yusei's duel runner, but this one, had a large lightning bolt painted on the side.

"Max, meet Crimson Lightning! Pretty good name, huh?" says Yusei.

"Dad, it's beautiful, but, whose is it?" I ask.

"Yours." answered Yusei.

"What! You've got to be pulling my leg!" I say.

"Nope, it's truly yours." says Yusei again.

"Oh my gosh! Thank you so much!" I exclaimed as I ran over to him and gave him a big hug.

"It's still a prototype, so it's not ready for a turbo duel quite yet, but you can still ride it," said Yusei.

"All of us pitched in!" exclaimed Rally.

"That's for sure!" exclaimed Crow, walking up with Jack and Kalin.

"You won't believe what we went through to make this for you," said Jack.

"You can say that again," said Kalin.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Here's a riding suit," said Jack as he hands me a crimson riding suit and a helmet.

"Well, shall we go for a ride?" asked Yusei.

"Let's go!" I exclaimed.

We all got on our duel runners and took a ride on the old highway. I loved the feel of my new duel runner as I went around the many obstacles on the highway. When we got done, Kalin had something to say, so we went back to the hideout.

"Alright everyone, listen up! In order to have control of Satellite, we need to gain some more territory," said Kalin.

I ask sarcastically, "And just how do we do that?"

Kalin answered, "We go take it from the other gangs."

"What! Are you kidding me! Do you know how tough some of those gangs are!" I say, almost yelling.

Yusei put his hand on my shoulder.

"He's right. If we want to unite all of Satellite, we have to strike when they least expect it," said Yusei.

Kalin said, "And the best time to strike would be tomorrow, against team Black 'n Blue!"

I say, "Let's do it."
