Still unsure of how many parts this might need, but the third one will not follow 'til this story and "Christmas Warmth" gain a significant following.
"So this Yusei guy is the one who gave you a new lease on life?" Leo quizzed his sister. The slip the doctor gave them didn't come with a photo, but it did indicate that this person, age eighteen, was indeed from the Satellite.
"Doesn't that devalue the blood you got?" the male twin pondered aloud. "I mean, the fact that this guy is a Satellite now says that you have the blood of a thug, criminal, or whoever else over there in you." Luna didn't respond right away to her brother's logic. It did make sense, based on the ideology around them. Every denizen of the city did not kindly upon those from the Satellite. Everyone in New Domino believed that the undesirables from the Satellite had only one purpose in their lives: to do the recycling and energy production of the city across the water.
"You do make a good point, but I'm not sure," Luna responded. She always believed in the phrase: don't judge a book by its cover. If this Yusei guy was generous to take some of his day to donate a little blood, then he couldn't be all bad. This was a puzzler.
After Leo hit the sack, Luna paced around the living room, deep in thought. She had to find Yusei. He gave her a shot at life. She had to repay him somehow. The only hard part was: how would she get to the Satellite? For anything Luna wanted an answer to, she resorted to the internet.
She pulled up the New Domino website and clicked on the "public works" link. This part of the site detailed where the public can go for various services: infrastructure improvement, building documentation, and garbage disposal. Luna went for the "garbage" tab. There were dates and times listed for pick-ups, drop-offs, and whatnot. She looked under the current date and there was still one open time left for garbage drop-off. That's when her plan came together: she and Leo would stow away in something big enough to hold them both, they'd wait at the New Domino docks for someone to toss them on a boat, and they'd travel across the body of water between the city and Satellite. She went to tell Leo how this was going to go down.
"Alright, here comes a truck," Luna whispered as she and Leo ducked inside an old cello case. Considering how small and light the twins were and the size and weight of the cello case they were in, nobody would know two small children would be inside. The two stowaways felt themselves being picked up and tossed into a dump truck with other discarded stuff.
"Luna, I'm not feeling so good," Leo complained as he looked like he might blow chunks. With them being rocked in the back of a dump truck combined with all the rancid smells floating in the air, it made for an unpleasant trip. Luna ignored his pleas and looked out a small crack. It wouldn't be long until she would be in the Satellite.
A short while later, the twins heard the engine stop and a salty smell entered the mix. They were at the docks. Various items were being thrown out of the truck onto a boat. The twins felt themselves being lifted and tossed onto their transport. Soon after, a chugging sound vibrated the case and everything else around the twins. The boat jerked forward a bit and it was off to the Satellite.
With no way to tell what time it was, Leo and Luna sat patiently inside the cello case, waiting for it to hopefully stop. The boat swayed back and forth by the waves. There was even a sound of the boat driver kicking something metallic. That person must be from the Satellite.
It was a long enough travel that both twins fell asleep while on the boat. Even when the boat stopped, they were still asleep. It took a rocking by someone lifting the case and carrying it to a landfill. The twins felt being thrown and coming to a crashing end. They waited long enough until they assumed no one was around to see them come out of the case.
Leo pushed the lid open to behold several massive piles of New Domino refuse. Now they learned why the city was very clean: the Satellite is all where the trash goes, manmade or living. The boy hopped out and gave his sister a hand. They slowly traversed down the pile they landed on, down to the ground, and towards the streets. Maybe there, they would find a clue to locate this Yusei Fudo.
Almost immediately after getting to the streets of the Satellite, the twins figured why the city was where everyone wanted to be: this place was barren and lifeless. The streets had giant fissures running down the middle. The buildings were dilapidated and crumbling. No signs of life anywhere, at least not where the twins were. They decided to take a left through an alley. About halfway, Luna pointed to what looked like a stand on the next street ahead. They raced towards what turned out to be a marketplace.
Here, there were a lot of people walking around, buying and selling various items. A closer look revealed some of the stuff being sold was actually what New Domino threw away. Those in the Satellite sure knew how to maximize what resources they had at their disposal. Leo and Luna perused through several stands in order to find someone who'd be nice to help them. They had no such luck. All the vendors and customers all had a shifty look in their eyes, as if they're trying to swindle someone.
Eventually, the two got further away from the marketplace. It got to the point to where there was no one else around. It was kind of spooky, then downright terrifying.
Shards of glass were suddenly falling from the sky. Left and right, the shards that kept hitting the ground exploded into tiny bits and danced dangerously around the scared twins.
"HELP!" they both shouted. Then a red blur zoomed from out of nowhere and snatched the two away from the falling glass. When they were all out of harm's way, the blur set the twins on the ground. When they regained their composure, the red blur turned out to be a red motorcycle with a crescent in the middle and some white decal. The driver was in a dark blue jacket, a black shirt with a red symbol on it, dark grey jeans, boots that went over his ankles, and a helmet, visor down, in the same red color as the motorcycle.
"Are you two alright?" the biker asked the relieved twins.
"Yeah, we are," Luna replied, "but who are you exactly?"
The biker pulled off his helmet to reveal a flame-like hairstyle, only all black with a few golden highlights. His face was a calm and collected expression with an intense focus and dark royal blue eyes.
"The name's Yusei," the biker answered.
The twins have now found the guy who gave Luna the necessary element to continue her life. Do they warm up to him right away? Part III will come once this story and my most previous story gain some more support.
