Seven Signers

Chapter 4: A Brother's Betrayal

4 years passed since the twins and their big brothers met Kalin and they became a group called the Enforcers, but soon after Kalin was in the Facility. A few months passed and Jack and Yusei got into a fight and Jack separated from Yusei, the only connection with Yusei after that was through Leo and Rua, who kept visiting him no matter what, afterall Jack was Leo's and Rua's brother too.

Right now at Yusei's subway hideout where his friends Rally, Blitz, Nervin and Tank live.

10 year olds Leo and Rua are dueling each other, Yusei was watching them as he was working on his first Duel Runner.

Leo: 600

Rua: 600

Leo has Power Tool Dragon on the field and Double Tool C&D equiped to it.

Rua has Ice Cold Dragon on the field and Neptune's Trident equiped to it.

"I end my turn," Leo said.

"Alright, my turn," Rua said as he drew a card and looked at it. Then he looked towards Leo with a smirk on his face.

"Now because it's my turn, my Neptune's Trident gives my Ice Cold Dragon 1000 attack points," Rua said.

(ICD 2400-3400)

"Now Ice Cold Dragon attack Power Tool Dragon, with Trident Fury" Rua said.

Ice Cold Dragon charged at Power Tool Dragon and destroyed Power Tool Dragon.

Leo: 600-0

Leo fell to the ground as his life points hit zero.

Then Rua walked over to Leo, Rua held out his hand to Leo who was on the ground.

"Good duel Leo," Rua said.

Leo then took Rua's hand to help him up off of the ground.

"It sure was," Leo said. Then Yusei stopped working on the Duel Runner and walked over to them.

"That was a pretty good duel little brothers," Yusei said.

"Thanks Big Brother," Leo and Rua said.

After that Leo looked up at Yusei

"Hey Big Brother Yusei can me and Rua go see Big Brother Jack?" Leo said.

"Uh...I don't know," Yusei said.

"Please," said Leo with his pleasing eyes looking at Yusei.

Yusei knew he couldn't say no with Leo's pleading eyes looking at him, he sighed.

"Okay, but be carefull you two," Yusei said, ask him to come watch us test out my Duel Runner tomorrow.

"Thank you big brother," Leo said as he hugged him, "Come on Rua,"

"Okay," said Rua.

After that Leo and Rua ran out of the subway to go find Jack.

(Meanwhile in the shadows outside the subway)

Their were a group of thugs standing outside the subway in the shadows.

"Look two kids with dual monster cards in their pockets," said one of the thugs pointing to Leo and Rua.

"We will get them once they are far away from everybody else, the leader said.

After that they took off after Leo and Rua.

(Meanwhile)

"Leo look," said Rua pointing to the thugs chasing them.

"Let's RUN," said Leo.

"Good Idea," said Rua.

After that they took off running away from the thugs.

After a few minutes.

"Come here you little Brats, one of the thugs said.

"You two can't run forever," said the other punk.

Rua tripped and fell, then Leo stopped running and ran back to Rua who was on the ground, then one of the thugs raised a club like thing and a thrown card caused him to drop it.

"Hey! How did you just do that just now," the leader cringed.

"Look up there!" one of the punks said pointing up above them.

Standing on the third story of a destroyed stood none other than...

"Jack!" Leo said with a big smile.

"Big Brother!" Rua said with a relieved tone.

"You boys are trespassing,"Jack said.

"What are you talking about," one of the punks asked.

Jack jumped down the building to approach the thugs. Leo helped Rua up and they ran an hid behind Jack.

"Nobody, but somebody I know, steps over that median line,"Jack said.

Indeed, there's a white line painted on the pavement that the thugs were now nervously retreating.

"Hey, come on, man, be cool. We don't got no beef with you..." the Leader said.

"You do now, my friend! But I'm even madder when some thugs gang up on my little brothers," Jack said placing his hands on Leo's and Rua's heads.

"Brothers," Group of thugs said with dread.

In an instant, Jack activated his dual disk summoned forth Red Dragon Archfiend. The huge dragon roared in their face, and they fled in terror. After that Rally emerged and chased after them.

"Yeah! serves them right! Rua called.

Leo and Rua turned to thank him, but Jack was nowhere in sight.

"Jack," Leo said.

"Big Brother?," Rua asked.

(A few minutes later)

After walking through the streets, Leo and Rua finally found where Jack had stayed: an old abandoned theater, The boys peaked through the door.

"Jack?" Leo and Rua said.

On the old set, there's a throne, taped on the throne is a note, Leo and Rua went for the note and they untapped it and read it.

Leo, Rua.

All I did was protecting my territory

so don't bother thanking me.

Jack.

After Leo and Rua read it, they lowered their heads in sadness, they thought Jack cared deeply about them, but something got Leo's and Rua's attention.

P.S. Look behind you.

Leo and Rua were confused, they slowly turned around and suddenly saw a big dragon, roaring at them. Leo and Rua got scared and fell back on the throne. The Dragon suddenly started to laugh. The Dragon took of its head, only that it was just a mask worn by a laughing Jack.

"Got you," said Jack.

"Jack!" Leo said in an angry tone.

"Very funny," said Rua unimpressed by Jacks joke.

Jack threw the dragon mask and walked up to Leo and Rua picked them up, then he walked over to the throne, and he sat down on the throne and put Leo and Rua on his lap.

"Sorry Leo and Rua. Brother things,you know you then would you two mind telling me why you are out her all alone?" Jack asked.

Leo and Rua scratched their heads nervously.

"Well...you see...we were looking for you," Leo said.

Then Rua looked at Jack and nodded.

"Really? Why's that?" Jack asked.

"Well Big Brother, Yusei and me and Rua just finished building this awesome new Duel Runner, it's looking really sweet! We're doing a test-run tomorrow. We want you and Big brother, Crow to come and watch it. Yusei is gonna try to break the Canal Street record, it's gonna be great," Leo said.

"I don't know about it," Jack said.

"Please? This means so much to us," said Leo and Rua.

Jack looked at Leo's and Rua's pleading eyes and sighed.

"Okay, I'll think about it," Jack said.

Suddenly, without warning, Leo and Rua hug their big brother. It surprised Jack, then Leo and Rua, then got up off Jack's lap.

"Thank you! Thank you! Now were off to see Crow. If you decide to come, we'll be in the Canal Street tunnel at noon. Later, Jack," Leo and Rua said before they ran off.

Jack smiles a bit at his little brothers.

(Later that night)

Moonlight shone through the smashed ceiling, fully illuminating the place as though it was day. Jack was asleep on his throne, when a strange thumping noise woke him up.

"Who's there? Show yourself," Jack called.

"Quite the nice pad you've got here; very spacious. The must and mold motif is a brave choice," A voice said.

The stranger stepped out of the shadows behind the throne, showing a short man in a red trench coat and clown like features.

"Who are you?" Jack growled.

"Oh, silly me, I forgot my manners. My name is Lazar, Mr Atlas and I am here to see you on behalf of Director Rex Goodwin," Lazar said as he bowed.

"Is that name supposed to mean something to me?" Jack asked.

"Director Goodwin would like to extend you an invitation. We've been watching you from afar, Jack, and we think you're an incredible duelist. A talent like your is being wasted out here in the Satellite. You have what it takes to be a champion, Jack. To sit on a real throne as the king of the turbo-duels. Haven't you always wanted to be a champion, Mr. Atlas? Furthermore, haven't you wondered about that mark on your arm?" Lazar asked.

The Vice-Director chuckled as Jack looked at his arm shocked.

"That's right we know all about it. Tomorrow evening at seven, the Maintenance Department will shutdown the flow in the main pipeline for one hour." Lazar said.

Lazar sat on Jack's throne as he continued.

"We'll be waiting for you on the other side, Mr. Atlas. However, we do require that you bring one thing with you. We've heard there's another duelist here, some up-and-coming hotshot." Lazar said.

Jack knew exactly who he was talking about.

"We don't know much about him, other than that he uses the Stardust Dragon card. But some say he has what it takes to be the best. You need to find him, and get his Stardust Dragon card. Think of it as your ticket to a new life. And believe me, Director Goodwin can give you a new life, Jack. No one will know you're from the Satellite. You will be a respected resident of New Domino City. You will have screaming fans, you'll attend fancy parties, but hey if you want to dwell in the slums and live with the cockroaches all your life, you're welcome to do so," Lazar said.

Jack looked down; one is indeed crawling by his foot. But when he looked back up, Lazar was no longer there.

"What do you say?" Lazar's voice asked.

"I will say this in three words...Count. Me. Out. I never will leave my friends behind," Jack lied.

"I see. Are you sure it just about your friends or is it all about those two green haired boys?" Lazar asked behind Jack.

Jack gasped in shock.

"We don't know much about those two kids, all we know is their names. I also heard you care very, very, very deeply about them. I seriously hope nothing bad happens to them." Lazar said.

Jack suddenly tuns to grab Lazar but Lazar was gone again.

"If I was you, I would make the right decision," Lazar voice echoed across the empty theater.

Jack sat back on his throne in sadness and worry. Is this Lazar guy going to hurt or worst kill Leo and Rua if Jack didn't do as Lazar or Goodwin says. If that is the case, there's only one thing he must do... and he's going to hate it and have his heart-broken.

(The next day)

The Satellite was misty and grim as ever. Jack stood alone on a rooftop, gazing at New Domino City in the distance across the sea, when Leo and Rua walked up to him.

"Big Brother, why are we meeting up here?" Leo asked.

"Yeah, Jack why are we meeting up here?" Rua asked.

" I decided to come and watch Yusei's test-run," Jack said.

"You will! Then let's go," Leo said in happiness.

"Yes! Let's hurry up and go," Rua said and he turned to Leo and they gave each other a high-five.

Jack looked happy at Leo's and Rua's action, but he felt sad about what he was going to do.

"What's wrong," Leo asked.

"What's the matter Jack," Rua asked.

"Nothing. I just need your help with something." Jack said.

"Whatever you need, because your our big brother," Leo and Rua said.

Jack jumped down and walked over to the boys.

"I'm sorry," Jack whispered.

Jack then took out two tazers and stunned Leo and Rua, letting Leo and Rua collapsed against him. Jack felt guilt and regret for this.

'I know you two won't get mad at me. So, I have to make sure you do. Jack thought.

Jack then reached into Leo's deck box, pulled out Life Stream Dragon and stuck it into his pocket. Then Jack reached for Rua's deck box, pulled out Ice Breaker Dragon and stuck it in his pocket. Jack picked up Leo and Rua and walked off.

(Meanwhile)

Yusei was back in the subway station with his friends Crow, Rally, Nervin, Blitz and Tank. They were helping Yusei make final adjustments to his first duel runner.

"Where's Leo and Rua," Crow asked.

"Yeah, they will be bummed if they miss their brother, Yusei test out his duel-runner," Blitz said.

"When he headed out earlier, they said something about going to meet up with Jack," Tank said.

"They went to see Jack? What traitors!" Nervin said.

" Hey, Jack is Leo's and Rua's brother also," Yusei said.

Yusei closed the hood on his runner, no sooner as he did the radio phone rang and Jack's face appeared on the screen, whom they were surprised to see.

"Some east-side thugs just ran off with Leo and Rua," Jack said.

"They did WHAT!" Yusei asked with an angry and worried tone.

Yusei hopped onto his runner and he and his friends mobilized in a heartbeat.

"Rally, Blitz, Tank, and Nervin, go uptown. Crow look for Jack. I will head downtown." Yusei said.

They split up on opposite sides of town. Rally, Tank, Blitz and Nervin searched the market but couldn't find Leo or Rua. Crow looked all over town but couldn't find Leo and Rua or Jack. Yusei searched along the streets downtown, when his radio rang again, Jack face reappeared on the screen.

" Yusei, I found them. Come down to the water front right away," Jack said.

Yusei was confused about it.

(Moments later)

Yusei made it to the pier where Jack was standing at, watching the waves crash against it. After he parked his dual runner Yusei ran up to Jack.

"Where are they, Jack?" Yusei asked.

"They are out there," Jack said as he was pointing to the sea.

Yusei looked to where Jack pointed and spotted Leo and Rua distance away along the bumpy waves. They were tied up together and placed in a boat.

"The tide's still going out; they could be swept out to sea. And then there's that big storm front approaching... Jack said.

"Jack, what are they doing out there?" Yusei demanded.

"I guess there's no reason to keep on lying to you. I put them out there," Jack said.

"You WHAT? but Jack, Leo and Rua are you're brothers. Why did you do it?" Yusei asked.

Jack ignored Yusei.

"Know what people are saying? That you've got what it takes to be the best. But we both know that's not true, don't we Yusei," Jack asked.

"What are you saying?" Yusei asked, wondered.

"You can either dual me and prove yourself, or you can swim out there and save Leo and Rua." "What'll it be?" Jack asked.

Jack pointed back to the sea.

"What's more important to you, proving that you're a true duelist? Or are you willing to put dueling aside to help you're little brothers," Jack asked.

Jack shot daggers at Yusei.

"What're you made of?" Jack asked.

Without hesitation, Yusei threw off his jacket and dove into the strong waters, swimming out towards Leo and Rua. Jack smiles a bit knowing, that Leo and Rua will be safe. Jack picked up Yusei's deck-box out from inside Yusei's abandoned jacket, he pulled out the Stardust Dragon card, he slipped the card into his pocket and let the others drop at his feet.

'Time for that test-run' Jack thought.

Meanwhile, Leo's and Rua's shared boat that they were tied up on pitched them overboard and they began to sink. They almost ran out of air when Yusei grabbed them, and re-surfaced, they were gasping for air. Yusei carried the boys back on to the dock, dripping wet, picked up the abandoned deck-box. He looked at for a moment, then he put in the small place on the back of his pants. He picks up his jacket, but instead of putting it on, he wrapped it around Leo and Rua, who lowered their heads in sadness and betrayal, Yusei then picked Leo and Rua up and carried them home.

(Moments later)

Yusei, Crow and Yusei's friends are back at his hideout.

"Jack did WHAT? But why? Doesn't he love them as much as we do?" Crow asked.

"I don't know. What I do know is that Jack is going to pay for this. I'll make sure of it." Yusei said.

"And Leo and Rua will they be alright?" Tank asked.

"They just need sometime alone together, that's how they got through things before," Yusei said.

Meanwhile, in a home-made room Leo and Rua sat on their beds, wrapped their arms around their legs and placed their heads on their knees.

(How was that? Leo and Rua betrayed by their big brother Jack. If you got an Idea for the next chapter let me know. I'm thinking about Leo and Rua having their own duel runners. I forgot about Leo's and Rua's hair, Leo's hair is the same as it what in the show, and Rua's is the same as Leo's.)
