CHAPTER 2: JACK ATLAS EPISODE – LAP 1: In The City

Narration: Jack Atlas

Every time I look into the sky, I always seem to look in the direction where the Multiverse Cafe is located in the sky... I guess I can blame Kassakume for that... She's a weird friend, if you can call her that.... She works in the Multiverse Cafe, up there in Space.

Jack stares up into the sky, the bright blue sky, almost nearly not a single cloud in the sky, a shining blue... Birds flying in the valiant with the wind blowing around.

In the middle of a long street and part of the Main Street in the the great city known as The Sky Haven, Wing City, a tall figure stood looking into the sky. He was a sort of shady figure standing there with his hands in his long coat pockets. He has long spiked, blond to a faint yellowish hair, ends in front of his ears were tied up and other ends in the back. Then he was also wearing a vest decorated with many emblems and patters. He also wore a long white coat stretching in the back with many buckles. His gloves had many black and white patterns. His belt had other buckles a card deck attached to it.

Wait a second... Staring into the air, did I forget something...? Did I forget to meet up with someone else...? Who was it... Hmm... Ah ha! That's it... Oh no...! I-It's Kassakume I forgot to meet up with... How did I do that...? She'll kill me....! Knowing her, she drag me to the depths of the Deep Space's Voids and dump me in a freaking never-ending Black Hole in the middle of nowhere!! Too late now, I guess... I hope she got distracted by something else, hopefully Master-sama... I need to work on my Duel Runner...!

The guy ran off to a garage somewhere near a bend in the room. He walked to the door, and pulled out a key with a little dragon charm on the end of it. He sighed a little and slowly unlocked the gate leading into the garage. The door opened up and he walked in, and shut the door. He flipped the light switch on and the entire room lit up. There were tools all over the place and a mysterious machine known as a "Duel Runner" was in the middle of the room. There was a set of stairs leading upstairs to another area.

"Man... I should clean up some... I wish ZORA would do it... Why does she even hate me...?!" He looked up at the door, hoping she wouldn't come on inside and complain and yell at him some more.

Oh yea... My name is Jack Atlas... Former Champion of the Fortune Cup in the city's Turbo Duel races. I'm a dualist, as if it couldn't be told by the Duel Runner for races. Now that I think of it... I should take another look at my Duel Disk, too... The steps to take to be different than everyone else... What a pain in the ass it is...

He sighed and started picking up tools around the room. There was everything you could think of as tools sitting on the ground. After he picked most of them, then he stared at the Duel Runner's Deck Slot and sighed.

Dammit.... I forgot, I need to repair the Deck Slot on the Duel Runner... I pray the next Tournament isn't a Duel Runner one... The Duel Disk is perfectly fine. I guess I should try fixing the slot though. I hope nothing blows UP in the happening of it!

He sat in the seat of the Duel Runner and pulled out a little screw driver, sighing. He stuck it inside of it, because something was lodged in it that kept causing the ENTIRE deck to go shooting out all over the place. And he hated cleaning it all up when no one was there. Jack stuck it all the back in the slot and finally hit something and tried getting it out. When he finally popped it, there was an explosion.

H-How did that happen?! What did I hit?! I guess it was a wire or something... Bull crap...

He put his head on the card section of the Duel Runner and sighed, or more like moaning.

"Jack, what happened?!" Two other men slammed the door leading upstairs open.

"Failure... I guess..." Jack moaned.

The two walked down the stairs and sighed.

Jack slammed his head down again and said, "I can't believe I had my deck in there!!"

There were cards flying all over the place. One of Jack's best cards landed on the floor near the other two, "Red Dragon Archfiend". The taller of the leaned down and grabbed the card, looking at it. It was a powerful Dragon Synchro Card.

"Here," He said jumping down the stairs to Jack and his Duel Runner. "I believe this is yours."

Jack looked up and slowly snatched the card and looked at it. He sat up and started collection cards on the floor and said, "You two are here, help me pick up cards!"

The other guy also jumped down from the staircase and helped the other two pick up Jack's Cards.

"What did you do this time?" The other one said as he jumped down.

"Sh-Shut up!" Jack yelled to him.

"Would you guys just stop?" The other one said.

The other two moaned to this.

These two are Yusei Fudo and the other dork is Crow Hogan. They both are two duelists and Turbo Duelists. Yusei uses an all around deck, he's the one with the yellow streaks and jacket. Crow uses Black Feather Cards in his deck, focus on powering each other up. He's the freaking brat...

Ping

"What's that?" Crow asked, looking over to Jack.

"Just a message.... From Goodwin...?!" Jack stared at his communicator.

"Goodwin?!" Yusei ran over to Jack.

The text reads, which Jack read out loud, "'Good day, Jack. I would like to give you a sneak peek for the Upcoming Tournament planned. I would like to invite you and all of your friends to participate in the Tournament. Matches will be regular Duels using Duel Disk Technology. Each Duel will be four people in a free-for-all match between them. With the final duel of the tournament a 4-Way Match. I hop to get as many as people as possible to join." That's where it ends.... Another tournament..."

Thanks god it's not using a Duel Runner, I don't want my Deck blowing up in the middle of a Turbo Duel!!

"Another Tournament...." Yusei thought for a second looking at Jack.

"Seems so, so what about it?! I'm gonna participate no matter who is gonna be in it! This will be fun! I'm going to the Multiverse Cafe to invite as many people as possible!!" Crow ran upstairs and out the door.

"I'll... Go with him, here," Yusei said handing the rest of Jack's Cards to him and followed Crow.

I guess I should go find Kassakume....

Ping

Another text...? This time it's from Kassakume, isn't it... 'Jaaack!!!!' Uh-Oh, that's not good... 'I will kick your ass! I have to go exploring for Master-sama ALONE!!! How come you can't be here, you jerk?! Ugh... I can't believe I have to go travel the freaking Deep Space of an Unknown Sector alone!! Mumble...' She's gonna kill me when she gets back! What now....? I'm gonna get murdered by her...! I guess I should just prepare my deck now.... That Tournament is coming up...

Jack sat back down in his Duel Runner and started going through his deck. He put Red Dragon Archfiend to the side and sighed. He looked up at the ceiling in thought.

Ping

He took out his communicator and looked, he got another text from Kassakume... He got worried and checked it. 'JACK!!! I'M COMING BACK SOON ENOUGH!!! AND YOU'RE DEAD, DAMMIT!!'

She's going to kick my ass! I think I should make a move for it! Or I'm dead...
