Chapter 11: Race to the City
It was 10:55 in the evening and almost everyone in the Satellite were inside their houses either sleeping or preparing to go to sleep. It was during this time that Lilly Muto was waiting for her new friend, Takashi Nakamura, to show up.
"Damn it…" She said quietly to herself. "Where the hell is he…? It's almost time to go."
Lilly looked all around the area, trying to either Takashi's Duel Runner or see him walking his Duel Runner over to her. However she couldn't find him.
"For a guy who wants my help getting to New Domino City, he sure likes to take his sweet time."
The young, 19-year-old, woman stood by the junkyard's front gate and started to think about to her Duel against Takashi. The main thing that she was thinking about was his Stardust Dragon and how it made her arm hurt. She proceeded look at him arm for a moment before moving her jacket's right sleeve. There, it revealed that her arm had a crimson red birthmark and that birthmark looked like claw.
"Why did my arm hurt when I saw that dragon?" She thought. "Something like this hasn't happen before…so why now?"
As Lilly stared at her birthmark she began to her someone's voice.
"Lilly…"The voice called."Lilly…"
Lilly grabbed her deck and flipped through her cards until she found her Dark Magician Girl. Suddenly the card started to glow for a second and when it stopped, the spirit of the Dark Magician Girl appeared before her.
"What is it…?" The young woman asked. "I have a lot on my mind right now."
"I know…"Dark Magician Girl said. "I could hear your thoughts, so I know that you have a lot on your mind right now. I'm here to tell you that I know the reason why your right arm began to throb when you saw that boy's dragon."
"Really…?" Lilly said in a surprised tone of voice. "Then tell me?"
"I can't tell you everything."Dark Magician Girl said to her. "However what I can tell you is that you, Takashi, his dragon, and several other individuals are connected."
"Other individuals…connected…?" Lilly questioned. "What do you mean by that? How are we connected?"
"I can't give you all the details now…"Lilly spirit partner explained. "However what I can tell you is this. You and other people who have birthmarks similar to yours…are destined to meet."
With that, Dark Magician Girl vanished as she returned into her card. Lilly would look at the card for a few seconds before putting it away. After that, she looked at her birthmark again.
"Birthmarks that's similar to mine…?" She thought. "The only one who had a mark similar to this one is Alistair himself…., but he had wings instead of a claw."
Soon, at 11:07, Takashi found Lilly at the entrance to the junkyard and rode over towards her. Once he got there he took off his helmet, got off his Duel Runner and walked over to her.
"Sorry I'm late…" He said. "I wanted to test out my Duel Runner so I rode around Satellite for a couple of hours."
Lilly didn't respond to Takashi's statement as she just continued to look at her birthmark. Takashi looked at the mark and was amazed on how it looked because he's never seen a mark like that before in his life.
"Wow…cool looking birthmark." He said to her.
Lilly looked over at Takashi for a few seconds before looking down at his right arm.
"Takashi…" She said. "Can I take a look at your right arm? There something I want to confirm."
"Um…ok." The young man agreed.
Takashi presented Lilly with his right arm and the young woman slowly moved its sleeve. She was disappointed that there wasn't a mark like the one she has on his arm. What was on his arm was a big red rash.
"When did you get that rash?" She asked.
"Yesterday…" Takashi answered. "It just appeared after I had this strange dream. It was filled with dragons, monsters, and this beautiful red headed girl."
Lilly blushed for a few moments before pointing at herself. "Was that girl me?"
Takashi nodded his head back and forth. "No…hair was more of a dark burgundy to a red-violet color. Your hair is more of a crimson color."
"I see…" Lilly replied in slight disappointment. "Well let's drop the subject and get ready to head to the pipeline. It's going to take about 30 minutes to get there from the junkyard."
"Ok…" Takashi said. "I'm ready whenever you are."
The two Duelists walked over to their respective Duel Runners. Takashi was the first to reach his Runner and once he got on he put his helmet over his head and lowered his windshield. He then looked over at Lilly's Duel Runner and saw that it was a bright red color with purple highlights. Takashi could tell that Lilly has been taking good care of her Runner as there were no signs of damage to it. The crimson headed Duelist also wore a helmet that had the same color design as her Runner.
"That's a nice Duel Runner you have there…" The young man said. "Where did you find it?"
"I didn't find it this Duel Runner." Lilly explained as she was starting up her Runner. "I made it by using spare parts."
"Wow…that's impressive." Takashi replied. "You must be really good with mechanics."
"I get around." Lilly said. "Now let's get going. I have to explain what's going to happen now that we're about to enter the pipeline."
Takashi nodded his head and proceeded to activate his Duel Runner. The two Duelists then proceeded to enter the junkyard and as soon as they did, an extremely loud alarm sounded.
"What's going on?" The young man asked Lilly. "Is that Sector Security?"
"Yeah…" Lilly answered. "They don't allow anyone here because they know that people could escape through the city if they used the pipeline. So they set up an alarm so that they could tell if anyone was entering the junkyard without permission."
"I see." Takashi said.
As soon as the two of them finished talking, they heard loud sirens behind them. Lilly looked back and saw several Security officers' right behind them. She then looked back at Takashi.
"You go on ahead without me." She suggested. "Go straight from here and you'll make it to the pipeline. Once the clock reaches 12 the maintenance will begin. You'll three minutes to make it to the end before trash starts pouring into pipeline again."
"Ok…, but what about you?" Takashi asked.
"I'll be out as soon as you do." Lilly answered. "Now go!"
Takashi looked at Lilly for a few moments before moving on ahead of her. One of the security members attempted to follow him, but the female Turbo Duelist started to spin her Duel Runner around in circles. This caused dirt to fly all over the place and it hit most of the officers right in their helmets, blinding them in the process. Once she stopped spinning Lilly looked and saw only one Security officer left. She started to smile as she looked at him.
"Hello…Daisuke." She said. "Long time no see."
The officer, now known as Daisuke, looked at Lilly with a serious look on his face.
"I've got you now Lilly…you no good bitch!" He said firmly.
"My…my…" Lilly responded as her smile grew. "You really shouldn't call girls bitches."
She soon lost her smile and started to glare at him.
"Especially me…"
The two of them glared at each other for a few seconds before they started talking again.
"Wanna finish where we left off?" Lilly suggested.
"Let's…" Daisuke replied.
"Activating Field Spell; Speed World 2!" The both yelled at the exact same time.
"Duel Mode Engage…!" The computer from Lilly's and Daisuke's Duel Runner said as a purple field surrounded the area around them. The two Duelists would then activate their Duel Disks as they rode through the junkyard.
"DUEL!"
Lilly: 4000 LP
Daisuke: 4000 LP
"I'll go first…Draw!" Daisuke said as he drew a card from his deck.
Lilly: SPC-1
Daisuke: SPC-1
The Security officer placed the card that he drew into a small slot filled with 5 other cards, which acted has his hand. He then looked at the cards before grabbing two of them. One was placed on the Monster Card Zone while the other was inserted in the Spell/Trap Zone.
"I Summon; Blade Knight, in Attack Mode! I then place 1 card face-down and end my turn."
Blade Knight: ATK 1600 DEF 1000 LVL 4
A knight, that was completely covered in armor and was holding a large sword, appeared on Daisuke's side of the field. Behind the knight was a face-down card, which quickly vanished.
"My turn…Draw!" Lilly yelled as she drew a card from her deck.
Lilly: SPC-2
Daisuke: SPC-2
Lilly placed the card that she drew onto her Monster Card Zone.
"I Summon; Silent Magician LV4, in Attack Mode!"
Silent Magician LV4: ATK 1000 DEF 1000 LVL 4
Silent Magician appeared by Lilly as started flying next to her. The young woman would then take two cards from her hand and inserted them into her Spell/Trap Zone. The cards appeared on the field for a few seconds before disappearing.
"I then place two cards face-down and end my turn!"
"Draw…!" Daisuke yelled as he drew a card.
Lilly: SPC-3
Daisuke: SPC-3
"Silent Magician LV4's Special Ability activates!" Lilly said as she was trying to reach the entrance to the pipeline. "For every card that my opponent draws from their deck, Silent Magician receives 1 Spell Counter and for each Spell Counter she gains 500 extra Attack Points!"
Silent Magician LV4: ATK 1500
"That power boost won't help you!" Daisuke told Lilly as he placed another card on his Monster Card Zone. "I Summon; Gearfried the Iron Knight, in Attack Mode!"
Gearfried the Iron Knight: ATK 1800 DEF 1600 LVL 4
Another knight that was completely covered in armor appeared by Daisuke. This knight's armor was almost all black while Blade Knight's armor was almost all blue. Daisuke would then take a card from his hand and insert it on the field. When the card appeared on the field it had the image of an angel that had a pair of cyber wings.
"I activate the Speed Spell; Summon Speeder! By removing 2 Speed Counters I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower monster from my hand. The cost is that the selected monster cannot attack this turn!"
Daisuke: SPC-1
Daisuke took a card from his hand and placed on his Monster Card Zone.
"I Special Summon the Tuner Monster; Chaos-End Master, in Attack Mode!"
Chaos-End Master: ATK 1500 DEF 1000 LVL 3
An angel, wearing white armor, appeared on Daisuke's field and started flying by him and his other two monsters.
"I Tuner my Level 4 Gearfried the Iron Knight with my Level 3 Chaos-End Master to Synchro Summon; Lightning Warrior in Attack Mode!"
Lightning Warrior: ATK 2400 DEF 1200 LVL 7
Both monsters jumped into the air and performed a Synchro Summoning. Once they finished, a new Warrior-Type monster appeared and started flying by Blade Knight. This monster had blonde hair and was wearing a shiny white armor. He also had red scarfs around his neck and waist. Lilly looked at Daisuke's new monster, but she wasn't impressed by it.
"Bringing out Lightning Warrior already…" She said. "You must really be desperate."
"Shut up!" Daisuke yelled as he pressed a button on his Duel Runner. The button activated his face-down card so it reappeared on the field and flipped up. The image on the card was 3 rockets, tied together by some chain. "I activate the Trap Card; Blast with Chain! When activated, this card acts as an Equip Card that can give one my monsters 500 extra Attack Points. I choose to equip it to Blade Knight!"
Blade Knight: ATK 2100
A small rocket back appeared on Blade Knight's back.
"Blade Knight…attack Lilly's Silent Magician LV4!"
The rockets on Blade Knight lit up as the Warrior-Type monster headed for Silent Magician. Lilly, acting quickly, pressed a button on her Duel Runner. One of her face-down cards reappeared on the field and flipped up. The card revealed itself to be Magic Cylinder.
"I activate the Trap Card; Magic Cylinder!" The young woman yelled as she turned her Duel Runner around towards Daisuke. "With it, I can negate your attack and inflict damage to you equal to Blade Knight's Attack Points!"
"What…?" Daisuke said in shock.
The Magic Cylinders appeared in front of Silent Magician as Blade Knight got sucked into one of them. The Warrior-Type Monster would then get blown out of the other Cylinder and collided with Daisuke.
Lilly: 4000 LP
Daisuke: 1900 LP
The collision with his own Monster caused Daisuke to lose his balance for a few seconds. This gave Lilly the chance to widen the distance between him and herself. The young woman would press a button on her computer screen and quickly Takashi's face appeared.
"Takashi…are you at the pipeline?" She asked.
"Yeah…" The young man answered. "It's about to be 12:00 in about 5 minutes. You need to hurry up and get your ass down here!"
"I know that…" Lilly stated. "But I'm being delayed."
"Want me to come over there and help you?" Takashi asked.
"No…" Lilly answered. "Just stay where you are and wait for the clock to hit 12."
Takashi nodded his head as Lilly hung up. As soon as she did, Daisuke caught up to her and he was extremely pissed.
"You…Bitch!" He yelled. "You're going to pay for that. Lightning Warrior, attack her Magician!"
As Lightning Warrior approached Silent Magician, Lilly pressed another button on her Duel Runner. This caused her other face-down card to appear on the field and when the card flipped up, it had the image of a box. Inside this box was the Pot of Greed.
"I activate the Trap Card; The Gift of Greed!" She said. "With this, you have to draw two cards from your deck!"
"I don't know what the hell you're planning." Daisuke said as he drew two cards from his deck. "Are you're doing is giving me cards…."
The Security Officer stopped talking when he finally realized what Lilly was up to. She wanted him to draw more cards because Silent Magician's Special Ability allows her to gain Spell Counters whenever Daisuke draws cards. Since he drew two cards, Silent Magician Attack Points increase by 1000.
Silent Magician LV4: ATK 2500
"Damn you Lilly…I fell right into your trap."
"Sure did…" The young woman said in agreement. "Now are you going to end your turn or what…?"
"….Shit." The officer cursed. "I end my turn."
"Draw…!" Lilly yelled as she drew a card from her deck.
Lilly: SPC-4
Daisuke: SPC-2
The young woman inserted a card into her Spell/Trap Zone. When the card appeared it had the image of a ramen cup with the word 'fusion' on the label.
"I activate the Speed Spell; Instant Fusion! When I have 3 or more Speed Counters, I can give up 1000 of my Life Points to Special Summon a level 5 or lower Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck!"
Lilly: 3000 LP
Daisuke: 1900 LP
A card popped out of Lilly's Extra Deck as her Life Points decreased. She would take the card and place on her Monster Card Zone.
"I Special Summon; Musician King, in Attack Mode!"
Musician King: ATK 1750 DEF 1500 LVL 5
A musician with blonde hair and was holding a guitar appeared beside Lilly. The young woman would then take another card from her hand and would also place it on her Monster Card Zone.
"I Normal Summon the Tuner Monster; Arcane Apprentice, in Attack Mode!
Arcane Apprentice: ATK 1000 DEF 400 LVL 2
A small magician, who was covered in purple robes, appeared on Lilly's side of the field and starting flying next to Musician King.
"Now, I tune my Level 5 Musician King with my Level 4 Arcane Apprentice to Synchro Summon; Arcanite Magician, in Attack Mode!"
Arcanite Magician: ATK 400 DEF 1800 LVL 7
A powerful Magician with shining blue robes appeared beside Lilly and started flying by her Silent Magician. In the magician's left hand was a staff, similar to that of Dark Magician's.
"What's the point of summoning a monster with only 400 Attack Points?" Daisuke asked as he slowly got closer to her.
"He won't have 400 Attack Points for long." Lilly stated. "I activate Arcanite Magician's Special Ability! When successfully Synchro Summoned, my magician receives 2 Spell Counters and for each Spell Counter, his Attack Points are raised by 1000 Points!"
Arcanite Magician: ATK 2400
"Silent Magician LV 4 attacks your Lightning Warrior while Arcanite Magician will attack your Blade Knight!"
Both of Lilly's Magicians turned and attacked Daisuke's monsters. Silent Magician cut Lightning Warrior's head off with a slash of her magic staff. While Arcanite Magician incernerated Blade Knight with a powerful fire spell.
Lilly: 3000 LP
Daisuke: 1500 LP
As both of her monsters flew back over to her, Lilly took a card from her hand and inserted it into her Spell/Trap Zone. The card appeared on the field for a split second before disappearing.
"I play one card face-down and end my turn!"
Lilly looked over at her opponent and saw that Daisuke was glaring at her with a fierce look on his face.
"DRAW…!" The Sector Security officer yelled as he drew a card from his deck. "You're going to pay for this Lilly! I'll make sure you receive a life sentence at the Facility!"
Because Daisuke drew a card Silent Magician received a 4th Speed Counter, increasing her overall Attack Points.
Silent Magician LV4: ATK 3000
"You know better not to mention that place to me Daisuke!" Lilly spat. "Now hurry up and make your move!"
"Fine…" Daisuke said.
Lilly: SPC- 5
Daisuke: SPC-3
The Security officer inserted a card into his Spell/Trap Zone. When the card appeared on the field, it looked like a new version of Monster Reborn.
"I activate the Speed Spell; Monster Reincarnation! Now by discarding 1 card from my hand to the Graveyard, I can bring a monster from my Graveyard to my hand! I choose to discard my Cliff the Trap Remover to retrieve my Lightning Warrior!"
Daisuke removed Lightning Warrior from his Graveyard and placed it back into his Extra Deck, since Synchro Monster can't go player's hands. He then placed the Cliff the Trap Remover card into his Graveyard instead.
"I now remove my Blade Knight and Cliff the Trap Remover from the Duel to Special Summon; Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, Attack Mode!"
Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning: ATK 3000 DEF 2500 LVL 8
A powerful Knight, wearing dark blue and black armor appeared on Daisuke's side of the field. Lilly looked at it with a shocked expression on her face. She then looked at the clock and saw that it was already 12:00am.
"Damn it…I got to take care of that thing in less in 3 minutes!" She thought.
The two Turbo Duelist reached the pipeline and as Lilly was riding inside of it, she saw that Takashi was already half way through it.
"I've have to hurry."
Daisuke continued on with his by inserting a card into his Spell/Trap Zone. When the card appeared on the field it had the image of monster, covered in a surge of energy.
"I activate the Quick-Play Speed Spell; Speed Energy!" Daisuke stated. "By discarding 1 Speed Counter I can increase my Black Luster Soldier's Attack Points by the number of Speed Counters I have remaining, times 200!"
Lilly: SPC-5
Daisuke: SPC-2
Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning: ATK 3400
"Black Luster Soldier, attack Silent Magician LV4 with your Chaos Blade!"
Black Luster Soldier flew over towards Silent Magician and sliced the young mage in half with his sword.
Lilly: 2600 LP
Daisuke: 1500 LP
"Black Luster Soldier's Special Ability activates! When he successfully destroys one of your monsters in battle, he can attack again!"
"What…?" Lilly said in shock.
The powerful knight turned his attention to Arcanite Magician and sliced him in half too.
Lilly: 1600 LP
Daisuke: 1500 LP
As soon as her mage was killed, Lilly pressed a button on her Duel Disk. This activated the face-down card that she set earlier. The card reappeared and flipped up, when it did it had the image of a shining light coming out of the clouds.
"I activate the Trap; Miracle's Wake!" She yelled. "When one of my monsters is destroyed by battle this turn, I can Special Summon it. I choose Arcanite Magician!"
From out of the Miracle's Wake card, Arcanite Magician appeared and started flying by her master again. Seeing the monster that he just destroy didn't frighten Daisuke.
"Don't get your hopes up Lilly…" He said in a confident tone of voice. "Because you didn't Synchro Summon Arcanite Magician to bring him back to the field, his Attack Points stay at the original level."
Arcanite Magician: ATK 400
"That's fine Daisuke…" Lilly stated as she pointed at Black Luster Soldier. "But don't forget that when your turn ends, Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning's Attack Points drop down to their original level!"
"I know that you bitch!" He said. "I end my turn!"
Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning: ATK 3000
Lilly looked at the clock and saw that it was 12:02. She then looked over at the end of the pipeline and saw that Takashi was waiting for her to get out. Realizing that it was her last chance to win, she put her hand on her deck and closed her eyes for a few seconds. She then opened them as the clock hit 12:03 and the trash started flowing back into the pipes.
"Draw…!" She yelled as she drew a card from her deck.
Lilly: SPC- 6
Daisuke: SPC- 3
Lilly looked at the card that she drew and smiled for a second, but before she played it she placed a card on her Monster Card Zone first.
"I summon Magician's Valkyria, in Attack Mode!"
Magician's Valkyria: ATK 1600 DEF 1800 LVL 4
Magician's Valkyria appeared on the field as trash started flying past Lilly and Daisuke. The female Turbo Duelist would then insert the card that she drew into her Spell/Trap Zone. When the card appeared on the field, it had the image of Dark Magician, the Flame Swordsmen, and the Dark Flare Knight.
"I activate the Speed Spell; Speed Fusion! When I have four or more Speed Counters, I can perform a Fusion Summon. I fuse my Arcanite Magician with my Magician's Valkyria to Fusion Summon; Supreme Arcanite Magician, in Attack Mode!"
Supreme Arcanite Magician: ATK 1400 DEF 2800 LVL 10
Both of Lilly's Spellcasters fused to form one powerful magician. This magician was very similar to the regular Arcanite Magician in terms of appearance. The only differences were that his robes were blue instead of white and that his staff changed slightly.
"What's that thing going to do Lilly?" Daisuke questioned. "It's not powerful enough to handle my Black Luster Soldier!"
"I know that you fool!" The young woman spat at her opponent. "But you should know that Supreme Arcanite Magician carries the same ability of Arcanite Magician! He now receives 2 Spell Counters and for each Counter he receives he gains 1000 extra Attack Points!"
Supreme Arcanite Magician: ATK 3400
"However Daisuke, even though my monster now surpasses you I'm not going to attack you with him yet. I'm instead going to activate his second Special Ability! By removing 1 of his Spell Counters, my Magician can destroy 1 card on the field and the card I choose is Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning!"
Supreme Arcanite Magician: ATK 2400
"No…!" Daisuke yelled in disbelief as he watched Supreme Arcanite Magician blast Black Luster Soldier with a lightning blast from his staff.
Lilly reached the exit to the pipeline and reached the outside. She then turned around and said one last thing to Daisuke before leaving.
"Supreme Arcanite Magician, Attack Daisuke's Life Points directly…!" She yelled.
Her powerful Spellcaster complied with her order and blasted Daisuke with a powerful blast from his staff.
Lilly: 1600 LP
Daisuke: 0 LP
As the all the holograms faded, Daisuke's Duel Runner slowed down. This caused most of the trash to crash into him as Lilly and Takashi looked on.
"Ouch…" The young man said. "That had to hurt."
"Yeah…" The young woman replied. Now let's hurry up and go."
Takashi nodded his head as he and Lilly rode towards the city. As they looked on with amazement, Lilly soon realized something so stopped moving. Takashi saw this and stopped too.
"What's wrong…?" He asked.
"Well…something just came to me." Lilly answered. "Now that we're in New Domino City, where are we going to stay?"
Takashi thought about Lilly's question for a couple of minutes before realizing something himself. So he quickly went into his backpack and pulled out the letter that Toru sent him.
"We can go to Poppo Time." He said.
"What the hell is a Poppo Time?" Lilly questioned as she started rubbing the back of her head.
"It's the name of an apartment that my friend Toru lives at." Takashi explained. "I'm sure if we asked we could live there with him."
"I see." The young woman said. "That sounds like a plan. So where is it?"
Takashi stood still with a dumbstruck look on his face. He then looked over at the letter and noticed that Toru only gave the name of the apartment, not the location of it.
"We're going to have to find it ourselves."
Lilly sighed to herself. "Of course we will…"
With that the two Turbo Duelist rode off, trying to find the location of Poppo Time. Meanwhile, inside one of New Domino's largest buildings, a young woman was busy staring out at the city. Her face body was covered in darkness, due to the fact that no lights were on. Suddenly a man came into the room and like the young woman; he body was also covered in the darkness.
"Sayer…" The young woman said as she looked outside. "I'm going out tomorrow to cause some trouble…"
The man, now known as Sayer, smiled as he looked at the girl. He then proceeded to talk to her.
"That's fine…Akiza."
