Chapter 4: Clue to the Past
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's or Stardust Accelerator.
Hikari: Is this where we find out my identity?
Me: Only a clue as to what it is.
Jack: So, I get to duel soon?
Me: You'll duel when I say you can duel!
Hikari: Should we just start the story before he whines again?
Me: Yeah. Please enjoy the story (and the clue, although it might be difficult to notice)!
Bob fell to his knees and punched the ground in annoyance and disbelief.
"That's game! Let's Duel again sometime!" I said. Rally came up from behind me and started yelling praise at me. He was saying everything so quickly that I couldn't make out a word that he was saying so I just smiled and nodded as Yusei walked past me to the defeated Duelist. Upon seeing him, Bob ran for his life as he was afraid of getting beaten again. Yusei shook his head and walked back to me.
"Nice duel," he said smiling slightly. I smiled back and pulled my Deck out of my Duel Disk and put it into my Deck holder. I took Light End Dragon out of my extra deck and stared at the picture and wondering if any of my cards were clues as to who I was.
"I've noticed something through that Duel…" said Yusei. I looked up at him curiously. "Your cards are quite powerful and I haven't seen anything like them in Satellite… It could be possible that you're from the city…"
Rally and I looked at each other and then looked back at Yusei with blank expressions on our faces. 'That's it! I can't hold it!' I burst out laughing. When I stopped I saw Yusei frowning at me.
"What's so funny?" he asked, a little confused at my outburst.
"Do you see any way that I could have gotten into Satellite? This is an island, and if Satellites aren't allowed in New Domino City, I doubt people from the city are allowed into Satellite!" I exclaimed while trying not to laugh. Yusei continued to frown to himself while Rally and I laughed to ourselves.
On the way back to the hideout…
We were oddly quiet on the way back to the hideout. After Rally and I had calmed down, I began to think that Yusei may be right… But if he was right, then how did I get here and how did I lose my memories? Suddenly, my thoughts were shattered when Yusei stopped in front of an ally and said something that filled me with sadness.
"Guys… I'm leaving tomorrow," he said, looking us both in the eyes. Before I could ask why, Rally piped up.
"Already? Why can't you stay a little longer?" he whined.
"You know as well as I do, Rally. There is only one chance every month for this. I have to go," said Yusei. The two of them looked at me and saw my confused look. After that, they immediately explained.
"You see, a guy Yusei used to be friends with stole Yusei's first Duel Runner and his best card before leaving for the city. Yusei is going there to get it back," explained Rally.
"Well, that wasn't nice…" I said. How could anyone steal a card from someone? Didn't he realise that, here, a deck was your life? Nevertheless, it must have been a pretty important card for him to go all the way to New Domino City just to get it back!
"Yeah… That card was pretty important to me so I have to get it back!" exclaimed Yusei.
'Wow… This is the first time I've ever seen Yusei like this… He's normally so calm…' What I didn't realise then was how important that card was to the fate of the world!
"I still don't see why you can't go next month…" Rally started whining again.
"If he has to go then he has to go," I said. Yusei and I each gave him sterns, look so he shut up. Yusei smiled and turned around to walk back towards the hideout.
In the hideout…
We had been in the old subway station for about half an hour. Yusei was working on his Duel Runner. He removed the screwdriver he had clenched between his teeth and set to work on fixing the metal plate back which covered the part that he was working on.
I was sitting there, on a box, hugging my knees, watching him work and wondering what kind of Duelist he was and what the card was that he had stolen from him. All I could gather from what Rally told me was that it was pretty darn powerful. I sighed, bored out of my mind. Hearing this, Tank sauntered over to me with an unusually happy look on his face, even for Tank who was always happy!
"Hey! What's eatin' you?" he asked happily.
"… Bored…" I muttered putting my head back on my knees.
"Why don't we Duel?"
"… To bored to Duel…" The boys (all except Yusei and Rally) gasped at my statement.
"To bored to Duel?" yelled Blitz.
"… Uh-huh…" I muttered quietly while not even bothering to look at him. Suddenly, there were some mutters from among the three boys.
"Ya know, Dueling her may not be the best idea you've ever had," said Rally. The three boys looked at him.
Yusei looked up from putting his tools away. "She beat Bob, you know…" The three boys went slack jawed.
"Isn't he, like, crazy powerful?" asked Tank, slightly shocked.
"I thought you told me that he couldn't Duel…" I said, looking at Rally.
"I was trying to lighten the moment…" he muttered.
"Oh, well, he's been beaten now…" I said before getting up and walking out for some fresh air with Rally in tow…
Hikari: You mean, I'm-
Me: Shh!
Hikari: But, I don't-
Me: SHH!
Hikari: Fine!
Me: Good! Please R&R! I need inspiration (from my fans if I have any)!
