At the base:

The two twins were racing their D-Wheels while I did some scans to make sure all of the upgrading was up to speed. "Impressive work Yusei Fudo," The leader crackled. "I have never seen such great workmanship before, much less on a D-wheel." He continued to praise Yusei on his work. Yusei was for the first time happy since he had left his friends.

"Thank you sir." Yusei responded.

"The WRGP is going to be a breeze for us now! Ge-ha-ha-ha!"

'I've never really heard him laugh before now that I think about it.' Yusei thought to himself. 'It's been a week since I ran away from my friends. Jack will probably kill me if I ever go back to them.' Yusei shivered at the thought of what Jack would do. 'Off of that subject, The fuel rods have to be set…' Yusei was instantly lost in thought of what he could do to enhance the D-wheel momentum, speed and what not.

At Poppo Time:

"That no good lying Traitor!" Jack yelled while punching the wall.

"Jack, we are all mad about this but come on! He's been gone for one week, what are we going to do?" Crow said trying to calm him down. "Besides, the police are looking for him and we're going to start looking for him now as well. So get your stuff and let's go!" Jack didn't argue he just followed with

After a few minutes' drive on their D-wheels and Duel Boards they heard a loud roar. "What's that?" Jack asked in an irritated voice.

"I don't know, what do you think Jack?" Crow responded.

"I don't know, that's why I asked you Carrot top!"

"Guys, shut up and come take a look." Everyone went over to the side of the bridge looking out to an empty docking port. Everyone gasped at what they saw; Yusei had a thin metal collar around his neck, his face was covered in grease and grime.

"Hey, Yus-" Jack started, but his mouth was covered by Crow and Aki.

"Hush up Jack, take a look at that." Aki said pointing at the bracelet and necklace. "He hasn't ever had those on, heck, he almost never has anything jewelry related on."

"How do you know that?"

"Woman's instinct." She lied while starting to blush. "Hush, their saying something."

"But we weren't ta-" Crow started before Aki cut him off.

"Ha, I knew that using you was a great idea. Winning the WRGP will be a breeze now!"

"Not in a million years."

"Shut up brat!" He putted out the button and put his finger on the red button getting ready to push it. "Don't make me use this."

"Ha, I'm absolutely fed up with this, do whatever you want to me! I no longer want to live in a life full of lies." Yusei said walking through the snow while tossing the jacket black they gave him onto the ground.

"You asked for it, boy!" He turned the electronic shocks up and shocked him.

"GAHHHHHHHHHH!" Yusei screamed in pain while holding onto both his bracelet and neck.

"Double the power means double the pain, you measly brat! As long as you have those things on you, you will always work for us. Yusei tried to stand up only to have his knees buckle below his weight.

"You, bastards. I, hope you go, to hell." Yusei said before he blacked out.

"Yeah, we get that a lot. Come on boys; help me bring this extra luggage back to the hideout." The leader ordered. The other two came and picked him up carrying him back to the hideout.

"I told you! He's not a traitor." Aki yelled as the four of them left.

"Well, come on! We've got to follow them!" Luna said starting her Duel Board. Everyone did the same and followed the three D-wheel riders.

"Whatever they're doing to Yusei, they're going to wish they hadn't!" Jack and Crow both said under their breath.
