This was in the normal Yugioh category, but after some consideration, I moved it to 5Ds, with all the turbo duels and all. I'm trying to make this more realistic to our world than the show, but a children's card game will still determine the fate of the world. But the Redeemers will also be able to kick butt, literally.

I decided to make some of the cards I wrote about. If you want to look at them, go to yugico dot com and look up my username (same as here). Alex's cards are the Undefeatables and Yuri's are the Alpha Draco. Sorry if they don't match up exactly to the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh, though since I'm not really using any copy written (copywrote?) stuff, I don't really need to say that, do I?


Life Points:

Alicia: 3800

Doug: 1200

Alicia was definitely winning. Higher life points, her boss monster out ('Aurora Vengeance' (2800atk/3200def)), and she was going so much faster that she was on the other side of the stadium from Doug's dirty old duel runner. It looked like he drove it through the sewers daily to get it that dirty.

"Vengeance, finish him off!" Alicia commanded. The glowing angel crossed the stadium to attack her opponent.

"Not so fast!" Doug replied, with a grin on his face. He activated his trap, 'Mirror Force' and blew the angel up in her tracks.

"A 'Mirror Force!'" she complained, "A stinkin' 'Mirror Force!'"

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" he replied, and shut of the com since Alicia was throwing a fit.

In the garage, Yuri and Alex were watching the practice duel, while Cora was fiddling with some techy thing. She would talk to herself out loud, explaining what she was doing to the air, but no one really understood anything she was saying. Alex had enough of wondering what she was doing and decided to find out.

"What are you working on?" he asked. She was surprised he would be interested with the tech side of things.

"Well, you know how duel disks used to use actual holograms to show duels, not just pictures on these funny glasses?" she asked, indicating the augmented reality visor.

"Yeah, that was one history class I didn't sleep through actually," he replied humorously, "didn't they occasionally come to life and destroy buildings or something?"

"Supposedly," she said skeptically, "But anyway, I'm trying to make my own hologram generator."

"Well cool!" Alex responded, "You want some help with that?"

"Well, actually, yeah. I could use another set of hands." She admitted. She started explain some technical details. Alex kept up easily, while Yuri, who was kind of eavesdropping, had to turn back to the duel because of the techno-babble. She was jealous of their technical know-how and how they worked together. She turned back to the duel. Doug was making a come-back. Before Alicia could make her next move, however, a strange black motorcycle randomly appeared on the track. Then four other bikes appeared. Pain Gang's bikes.

They surrounded Doug on all sides, trying to get him to crash. The jostled him this way and that, and finally got his bike to swerve and crash into the guard wall.

A few moments later, his parachute deployed. Yes, Doug put an ejector seat on his bike. Go figure. Alicia came to a halt outside the garage, as everyone came out to see what had happened. Then, Pain Gang came towards them as a wall of bikes. Jordan floated down right next to his team, conveniently.

At the lead of the group was Will. His hair-do could easily be mistaken for a porcupine. His duel-runner was even decked out with sharp objects. On his right was Jordan, the flame-headed bully. His duel runner was also flame themed. As Alex looked at the gang, he realized that all of them had hair-dos that matched their bike, and had to wonder which they changed to match the other.

Will spoke up, "This stadium is ours now! Get out or we'll make you!"

Yuri stepped up, "You can't just make us leave!"

The gang laughed at that. "Oh, yes we can!" was Will's response. He got off his bike and activated his duel disk, which looked like a sword coming out of his wrist.

"You gona duel us for the stadium?" Alex asked. The gang just laughed harder.

"He thinks we're gona Duel them!" Will laughed extra hard, "No we aren't going to duel you!" He swiped at a nearby pipe with his duel sword, and cut clean through it. The rest of the Pain Gang activated their duel weapons. Jordan's was, surprisingly, a flame-thrower. One guy's turned into a buzz saw, and the other two were different types of guns. They all pointed their weapons at the Redeemers; Will rushed Yuri, grabbed her by the hair, and positioned his blade so its point was touching her throat.

"This stadium is ours!" Will proclaimed, his face contorted with an evil smirk, "Leave now if you want to live!"

The Redeemers slowly backed away. Will release his hold on Yuri, knocking her down in the process. She got up and brushed herself off, before grabbing her bike and retreating. They walked their bikes down the tunnel (Doug's was missing some pieces, though) and retreated to Cora's house to regroup.


"What the bleep was that about!" Alex complained, as Cora was helping Doug fix his bike, "Who were those guys?"

"Pain Gang," Yuri answered plainly, "They've always been jerks, but they've never been real dangerous."

"Not until today at least," Alicia added, "where the hell did they get those weird weapons? Will looked like he was gona kill you back there." She said to their leader.

"I can't stand being pushed around like that!" Yuri finally blew a gasket, yelling with all her pent up anger, "I can't stand it! We have to do something about this! We have to get the stadium back!"

"How?" Doug chimed in, "Even if we had weapons, which we don't, we can't just start lobbing heads off! We'd be just as bad as they are!"

"There is no way we could attack them!" Alicia added, "We'd get killed!"

"You're right," Yuri sighed, disappointment spread across her face, "But what if they attack us again? We need to have a way to defend ourselves, don't we?"

Just then a light bulb metaphorically flashed over Cora's head. She opened up her duel-disk and started to fiddle around with the wires.

"What are you doing?" Alex asked as they all stared at her.

"Working on something that might just help us," She said as she meddled with the circuits, "just got to reconnect the field display to the photon generator…" She trailed off into strings of incoherent techno-babble.


"Well, it's time for me to go," Yuri said after a look at her watch. It had been a few hours and her dad would go ballistic if she was out past curfew.

As Alex, Alicia, and Yuri got on their bikes, Cora called out without looking up from the duel disk she was still working on, "Would you guys mind leaving your duel disks here. I want to upgrade them with this idea I'm working on."

"And what exactly would this upgrade do?" Alicia asked, part curiously and part suspiciously.

"And spoil the surprise!" Cora said with delight, "No way" With her perfectly worded argument, everyone handed their duel disks to her, knowing full well that she wouldn't sleep that night because of that.

"Well see you guys!" Yuri said as she remounted her bike, "And don't forget! We got to go to school early tomorrow for the field trip!"

"You know, my sister just got a job at the museum," Alex threw into the conversation, "She might be the one giving us the tour!"

"That'd be cool," Alicia agreed, "well see ya!" With that, Alicia and Yuri speed off. Alex was about to drive away, when he saw Doug still working on his bike, definitely in no position to drive home.

"Doug, you need a ride?" Alex asked politely, patting the seat space behind him to show he had room for a passenger. Doug just looked at him strangely.

"Dude, this IS my house," Doug answered simply.

"Oh, I thought this was Cora's house," Alex explained his misunderstanding.

Cora chimed in from her work bench, "I live here, too!" never even looking up.

Alex looked back and forth between the two of them. "So you two live together?" He asked curiously.

"Yeah, me and my sister live in the same house, what of it?" Doug answered and asked.

"Sister?" Alex repeated incredulously, his face turning red, "I thought she was your girlfriend." At that, both Doug and Cora put down what they were doing and stared at each other for a moment, then simultaneously cried "EW!" Alex's face was currently redder than Yuri's hair in embarrassment. "My bad! My Bad!" Alex apologized throwing his hand up in the air. That was followed by a moment of awkward silence that lasted for far too long. Alex ended the silence by revving his engine. "I think I'll go now." He said in good bye, and raced down the street, everyone's faces still red with blush.


"And here is our museums pride and joy, the Senturi Stone!" The tour guide announced to the class, indicating the large stone the wall, ancient texts etched into its surface recording the thoughts and beliefs of a long dead culture. "This is the largest artifact with Kanifan inscriptions ever found and is thought to tell their creation story. This symbol here is thought to represent the main god 'Vooj'…"

Everyone's eyes were glued to the stone, staring into its beautifully carved pictures and indecipherable language. Well, not every eye. Alex glanced over and noticed Doug was staring not at the ancient carvings, but at the female tour guide's chest. Doug was promptly punched in the shoulder. "Stop ogling my sister, Doug!" he whispered harshly.

"I'm sorry but Ava's HAWT!" Doug whispered back, "And why should you care? I don't care that you got a thing for my sister."

"I do NOT have a thing for Cora!" He answered angrily.

"Yeah, right," Doug replied tauntingly. Yuri had been standing right next to the pair, and was becoming irritated by their squabble, and maybe just a slight bit jealous that Alex was truthfully spending more time with Cora than anybody else on the team, namely her. Slyly, she snuck out of the crowd and grabbed a drink at a nearby water fountain. She decided to pretend to study a nearby statue of Eereeon, the Kanifan god of the skies, in an effort to stay away from their conversation.

At about that time, Jordan moved away from the crowd, toward the restrooms. Because of her location away from the class, Yuri was the only one to notice. As he approached the restrooms, He glanced around warily in each direction. Yuri tucked herself down behind the statue to avoid his gaze, wondering what the gang member could be up to.

After he determined that no one was following him, Jordan turned and moved quickly down an empty corridor. Yuri followed, careful to make as little noise as possible and stay in corners till Jordan turned into the next hallway. Yuri followed him through several corridors and down several flights of stairs, down to areas off limits to the public, determined to find out the ganger's plan.

Jordan reached a door at the end of a long hallway labeled "Authorized Personnel Only" with some kind of high tech looking lock. Yuri watched from the corner as Jordan took some thing from his pocket and placed it over the lock. It blinked green and opened. Jordan rushed inside and let the door swing itself closed. Yuri rushed for the door and reached it a millisecond before it closed. She held it a crack open and peered inside to see a loading bay.

She watched as Jordan opened the loading door to reveal a truck backing up into the loading bay. The back hatch opened, revealing the rest of the Pain Gang's five members, dressed in their racing uniforms for some reason. All four got out of the truck and started mumbling about something to quietly for Yuri to hear. Then Jordan surprised Yuri by yelling into the truck, "Hey Troy, what do we do now?"

From the shadows of the truck, a calm voice answered, somewhat deep but with a glint of arrogance and elegance that made it seem somewhat aristocratic, "Now that the security has been taken out, all we need to do is get the Senturi Stone and drag it to the truck. And I told you before," The man stepped out of the shadows, revealing a man in his early thirties with strangely long green hair, and an elegant long coat that looked more like a cloak, adding even more to the feeling of aristocracy, "It's Agent Troy."

"I saw it on display earlier!" Jordan said to the still agent, "I could show you were it is!"

"Simpleton," Agent Troy said without expression, "The display pieces are fabrications. The real one is in storage for examination." Yuri watched as his eyes darted toward the door she was hiding behind suddenly. Even though the door was barely a crack open, Yuri felt like the man's eyes were looking straight into hers, straight into her soul. She also was sure his eyes were glowing slightly. "It looks as if we have an uninvited guest." Agent Troy said without taking his gaze off of Yuri's, "Please stop her."

With that simple command, Pain Gang moved towards the door rapidly. Yuri knew she had to run; she had to get away and warn the museum about the theft-in-progress. But she couldn't move; she couldn't turn away from those glowing eyes.

Jordan pushed the door open, knocking Yuri down and out of her trance. Before her mind could put an escape plan together, she was surrounded. A different member of the gang had grabbed each of her limbs, immobilizing her, Will pulling on her head by her hair. The Agent moved to see the interloper, still without any expression on his face, even at the sight of a beautiful teenage girl being manhandled by a street gang. "You must not have been expecting to interrupt a major heist today did you, miss ?" He left a pause in his sentence, silently asking her name along with her intentions.

Yuri mind fumbled around for a plan, some means of escape. "All I have to do is scream, and people will be down here in no time at all. And I'm sure there is no way you could make my position looked good for your sake," she said in as calm and as threatening a tone as she could manage, hoping the bluff might be enough to escape.

"True," the agent admitted, still without any expression, never moving his eyes from hers, "But you can't scream if you're asleep, now can you?" He asked without wanting a reply. Suddenly his eyes grew brighter and three symbols appeared on his cheek, that looked a lot like the symbols on the Kanifan artifacts she had looked at earlier, and that they had claimed they were about to steal. Two circles and a triangle, each with smaller patterns within. Troy's glowing face was the lasting thing Yuri saw before the world went cold and dark, all light had been washed away, leaving only darkness.


Bum, bum, Bum! Cliffhangers! Do you think it's too early to introduce the ancient evil magic stuff?

Any ideas, comments, and questions appreciated. Should this be in 5Ds or somewhere else? I want to put it where the most people will see it. And remember, be specific with your reviews, please!
