Chapter Four: Trust Me
"You see Jack, there was a reason why I wanted you to come. Since you are one of the signers, you bare the mark of the Crimson Dragon. Yet I doubt you know the past of the Signers." Goodwin said as he placed a hand upon the stone tablet that had been written in ancient times. The writing was unfamiliar to him as he stared at it, as if trying to make sense of what it said. Then his attention turned back to Goodwin. "Now I want you to relaxe and listen." He said holding his hand up high as the floor and the temple disappeared in a blinding flash. As the floor began to move and the clouds disappeared from view. Soon a great temple much like the one they had just been standing upon had appeared.
"It was the time of the Incans. They had been isolated for so long from the real world, yet many grave dangers came to threaten them from unknown realms. One day, the great king had sent an offering to the Dragon Star to end the violence. There, his offering had been answered as a powerful dragon along with a warrior descended from the heavens. Eventually the two swept the darkness away and peace had been restored after a great battle.
However, we did not know much about this great warrior, only for the fact that he could create tidal waves, move the earth's very core, and even create fire from nothing. We later went on a research to try and decipher what the language back at the temple. We soon grabbed a small bit of information that was greatly valuable to us… That this warrior was named Aang."
"You expect me to believe that? Every last piece? You're stating that there will once again be a great struggle like there had been so long ago?" Jack asked as he looked up from his mark back towards Goodwin.
"Jack I do want you to believe it. The evidence that this warrior had been around was only written down once. Yet, we discovered another important piece of information. That is where this Aang came from; there is indeed a parallel world to ours. The same exact one that Yusei had fallen into during your duel. The Crimson Dragon sent him there for a task, in fact all Signers should be there.
'This parallel world, I wish to know, is there anything else that we know about it?" Jack asked as he began to understand, and he was beginning to make his own conclusions. At first this seemed more like a fairy tale, could he have been wrong about that?
"There is one last piece of this parallel world that we have discovered." Goodwin said with a smile upon his face. "And I will show you by taking you there." He said raising his hand once more as a bright light began to form once more, Jack was forced to block out the light by holding his hands in front of his face. However his arm only burned with a familiar pain that he had felt during the duel with Yusei.
What is going on…?

Yusei was resting outside of the teashop as he heard Katara's friends talking about him, however he just kept his face staring down at the dirt. Ignoring the citizens that constantly walked by him giving him an odd look. He knew he was different from everyone, and it didn't matter too him. This wouldn't have been the first time that society had run him to the lowest of lows. That's when his attention turned back to their voices.
"I'm telling you I don't trust him. It's just a gut reaction when I first saw him." Sokka's voice said, he had figured out that the two were siblings. It made much sense since the two had been fighting the whole time.
"Is that your only reason? For all we know he could be a good kid. If he was bad he would have tried to attack us by now." Katara asked as she fought with her brother.
"You saw how weak and tired he still is, I doubt that he would have made a successful attack easily like that. I think he's more confused and frightened." Aang said as he stepped forward.
"Oh yeah, well that proves nothing, I think he's waiting for the right-." Sokka said yet Toph punched Sokka in the gut for silencing him before. Yusei stepped in.
"I understand if you don't' want me here. I was better off alone anyways." Yusei said as he started to head back to the room were he had been resting. He grabbed his deck, his helmet and left once more. The others stared at him as he watched, yet Yusei didn't look back at them to reach their gaze.
"Wait Yusei." Aang said as he came over to his side.
"Leave me be Aang. I think it'd be the best for both of us. Trust me." Yusei said as he headed out he door and out of sight. He held onto his duel runner as he began to head out towards a different part of the city. He could see the barriers that held the outside in, he just needed to reach them. Let alone he wasn't in any shape to ride his motorcycle there in one go.
That was when a strange noise broke his concentration; it came from behind him, in fact quiet closely behind him. "Who's there?" Yusei asked as he looked around. Seeing no one. He remained tense for a few seconds, then relaxed as he went on his way.
The noise this time made him stop in his tracks, someone or something had been toying with him this time. "Alright who's there? I'm not in the mood for playing tricks." Yusei said and began to look a bit more carefully. He looked back at his bike seeing two large white ears stick out of his helmet that had been resting on the back seat of the motorcycle.
"Wait a minute, you're with the others…Momo was it?" Yusei asked as he watched the lemur's green eyes stair directly at his own. Then it dove back into his helmet and pulled something out, holding it in his tiny paws. "Heay that's mine." Yusei called out as he quickly realized what Momo had in his and. It was one of his cards from his deck. It was his most important monster in the deck. His Stardust Dragon.
Momo quickly took off with his bad wings as he flew through the air landing on a rooftop nearby with the card still in his hands. Yusei sighed as he watched the creature take off with his prized card. 'You've got to be kidding me.' He thought to himself as Momo took one last look at him before flying off into a nearby tree and grabbed hold of one of the large branches high above.
"Looks like you've made friends with Mo-Mo." A familiar voice said as Yusei turned to see Aang as he stepped over to Yusei's side.
"Hardly." Yusei replied watching Aang with a bit of frustration in his eyes. "Your lemur bat thing took something of mine."
"Come on he was just curious." Aang said. "But I'll get it back if it's that important." He said opening his staff and releasing the glider that was in side. He took off to land upon the nearby roof. "Come on Mo-Mo can I see what you have there?" He asked calmly as he crept closer to the lemur. Mo-Mo watched him carefully from the branch, but then turned his back to watch Yusei.
Just then he grabbed the card out of Mo-Mo's hand while he had been distracted for a mere second. "Got it." Aang said proudly as he jumped off the roof and sent a current of air towards Yusei along with the card so he could catch it. Then he jumped down off from the roof without making a scratch on his landing.
"So what exactly was that?" Aang said looking back at Yusei as Mo-Mo climbed upon his shoulder.
"It's something of mine, that gives me hope." Yusei said looking away from Aang. He wasn't so sure how he'd react to the metaphor. But it was indeed true. He had suggested to his friends back at the satellite that this was the card that would help them leave the Satellite for good. Well it did for him, and an old friend.
