Chapter 10

I woke up to a sharp sting in my arms and chest, something bad was happening. I stood up to go ask Yanagi about it, when a strong wave of pain hit me. I collapsed to my knees, hugging my stomach tightly.

'Waking up to intense pain, oh boy my favourite,' I thought sarcastically. Someone was rubbing my back and warm arms hugged me up, I saw a couple of my cards attempting to comfort me. I squeeze my eyes shut and behind my closed lids, I see Yusei dueling in a weird force-field thing. Each time he got hit, I felt it, oddly creepy but true. It took awhile, but Yusei managed to defeat the weirdo in the black bathrobe. I reopened my eyes and breathed a sigh of relief as the light died down and the pain dropped off. I flop back down on the couch and fall back into the bliss of sleep. I felt the rays of the day's first light and cracked open my eyes. Tanner was sitting at the table with a laptop not noticing me, so I stayed laying down staring at the cracked passed slowly, and I think I might've fallen asleep again, but I jerked awake when I heard the door creak open. Yusei walked through the doorway, a frown etched on his face.

"Hey, where'd you run off to last night? I was gettin' worried." Tanner told him. I sat up, folded my arms across my chest and glared at Yusei giving him my 'you better start talking' look. He looked back at Tanner.

"There was a really strange guy outside and I followed him." Yusei replied casually. I face-palmed.

"Yusei, you don't just up and randomly follow people, moron." I comment. Tanner stands up ignoring me.

"What happened? Did he challenge you to a duel?"

"Yeah, and he was being controlled by a group called the Dark Signers." Yusei commented. I felt the color drain from my face, I don't know why, but that name sent chills through me.

"Did you say Signers?" Tanner asked confused.

"He had a mark, and it glowed like mine, but it was in the shape of a spider." Yusei continued, holding up his arm.

"Freaky." I add. Yusei glanced at me and his frown deepened.

"You alright Lyra? You're really pale." He said walking over to me. I rolled my eyes.

"Of course I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well, that's all." I answer, technically it's not a complete lie. He slowly nods then sits where Tanner was and begins typing on the laptop. Eventually everyone else finally wakes up and we fill them in on the recent events. Tanner walks over and sets a mug of something by Yusei.

"Hey, how's it going?"

"Not good. My searches on spider symbols aren't turning up any solid leads. I need answers," He stands up, "And only one person has them. I need to find Goodwin." I snort.

"Have fun brotha, it's your funeral." He glares at me with a 'not helping' look.

"But you can't trust him!" Yanagi says, me nodding in agreement.

"Yeah, you forget he locked you up? He's not your friend." Tanner agrees with us. Yusei shakes his head.

"But he's the only one with answers."

"Who?" asked a small voice. We all turned to look at Leo and Luna a few feet away.

"You're leaving? But it's not safe for you out there." Luna says worriedly.

"Please don't go." Leo adds desperately.

"I have to, the people in the Satellite are in danger and I have to try and help them somehow."

"Stay here, you'll be safer in the city, who knows what's out there and what if it's true? What if some spider's gonna destroy all of the Satellite." Leo voices.

"He's right, don't leave, what if you get stuck and can't get back here ever again?" Luna added. Yusei walked over to them and bent down, placing a hand on their shoulders.

"Don't worry, in fact I already made arrangements, for some backup." He told them.

"You're getting a bodyguard?" Luna asked confused. Sector security sirens pierced through the air, turning our attention to the window.

"Looks like my ride's here." Yusei comments. We peer out the window and I see Trudge holding up a megaphone.

"Alright Yusei, I got your message, now get your deck and get down here. I'm not gonna wait all day just because we're teaming up temporarily. You understand me?!" He yelled up to us.

"Hi Trudge, miss me?" I yelled back with mock excitement. I swear I could feel his glare through the window.

"Trudge is your protection?" Tanner said sharply.

"He's more." We all look at Yusei strangely, "If he gets me to Goodwin safely, we might just have to call Trudge one of the good guys." Yusei grabbed his deck from the table and grabbed the door handle. On impulse I reached out and grabbed him. He looked at me strange, then his gaze softened and he smiled at me. "I'll be alright. Don't worry." I wrap my arms around his waist and hug him.

"How can I not worry? How do I know that you'll be ok? To be honest I don't know, but for the sake of me and everyone else, come back in one piece when you're done playing hero." I tell him releasing him and flashing him a bright smile. He gives me a thumbs up and closes the door behind him. I rush over to the window to see him off. Yusei walks down the steps and faces Trudge.

"Well what are we waiting for, let's roll out." He stated as he got into one of the cars. Trudge scowled but got on his bike and the sirens flared to life again, the sound soon becoming distant. I sat on back on the couch and looked through my deck. Leo and Luna had confusion stamped on their faces.

"So what do we do now?" Leo asked. I smirked.

"Your favourite thing Leo, waiting."
