AnimeKiwi369: Sorry, I haven't updated in almost a week.
Rikki: Is it because of school?
AnimeKiwi369: Yeah. I practice at four on Monday through Thursday that went until after five, and then it takes at least forty minutes to get back to my house.
Rikki: Why?
AnimeKiwi369: I go to a school in another town.
Rikki: How come?
AnimeKiwi369: Because I wanted to go to it. And then I was doing homework until after nine each night.
Rikki: That's a lot. Why did you have so much?
Yusei: She's going to high school. It's a lot of work.
AnimeKiwi369: Yeah and I've only been there a week. Anyway, this chapter probably isn't my best and it focuses on Rikki and Yusei and Akiza's in this one again. But it focuses on Rikki mainly. Before this introduction gets too much longer, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's or its characters, just my own characters and the storyline.
Found Lost Love
Chapter 13
Akiza was roughly tossed onto the hard floor. She was battered, bruised, and hurt all over. She was starving; she hadn't eaten in days. She was freezing and couldn't sleep. The psychic was in so much pain; she hadn't even been in this much when she had been in twenty-three hours of labor with Rikki.
She coughed on her hands and knees and saw small drops of red liquid on the floor below her: blood.
"Rikki…" she trailed off again; that had been all she'd been saying in the past four days. Akiza hoped with all her heart that she was all right. She desperately wanted to Yusei to come and save her again. Or at least wanted to see his face or hear his voice one last time. She knew her end was probably near, "I-I love you, darling."
After that, everything went black.
With Yusei and Rikki
They stood in front of the massive, intimidating building. Rikki clutched onto Yusei's pant leg. He rubbed her hair as reassuring as possible. He didn't like this place. But if it meant getting Akiza back, then they'd go in. Security was close by, but not obvious enough to raise suspicion.
"You wanna go over the plan again?" he asked her.
"Go in, find mommy, get out, and let security handle the rest." She repeated the plan that had gone over earlier.
"I'll take that as a no." he responded, "Are you ready?"
"No." she told him, shaking her head, "But I want to get mommy. I want to go find her."
"Duel disk set?"
"Yes." They had both decided to bring their duel disks so they could activate the live feed function in case they got separated. Yusei took her hand in his, holding it in a reassuring way.
"Then let's go."
"Okay."
They both went around the building and snuck inside. Rikki knew the layout of the Arcadia Movement like the back of her hand. The floor was basically empty, which was unusual. Normally it was swarming with psychics.
"Something's not right." She told Yusei, "No one's here."
"That's not normal?" he asked and she shook her head, "Then stay close." Rikki gripped his hand tighter as they quietly and quickly made their way through the building, "Do you have any idea where your mother is?"
She thought for a minute, "Well, there are a few rooms down in the basement." She told him after a while.
"Let's go. Quickly now." He commanded, in a hushed tone and Rikki began to lead them towards the basement. They had to hide in a corridor a couple of times when they spotted psychics heading the same way. When they got down to the basement, Rikki was surprised to see half a dozen psychics down there.
"Mommy has to be down here if there's so many psychics." She whispered.
"How are we going to get past them?" Yusei asked quietly.
"You'll duel me." A voice from behind them said. The Signer was surprised; he hadn't heard that voice in over seven years. He turned around and backed up a few steps, pulling Rikki along with him. He stepped in front of her protectively.
"What have you done to Akiza?" he demanded coldly, "She was perfectly fine before you threatened her."
"Actually," Sayer started in a matter-of-fact tone, "I was threatening both of you. I told her if she didn't come back, I'd make you feel pain that you couldn't possibly comprehend."
"But you did threaten to destroy Rikki if she ever left."
"True. You Fudoes are all a pain." The psychic commented nonchalantly and Yusei let a harsh growl escape his throat while Rikki glared at Sayer.
"You're gonna pay!" he yelled, grabbing attention from the other psychics and they began to swarm them.
"Disperse." Sayer commanded them and they did so, "Duel me Fudo if you ever want to see your precious Akiza again."
"Fine." He agreed icily. He crouched down in front of Rikki and placed his hands on her shoulders. He put his mouth near her ear, "Rikki, listen to me. I want you go find your mother and get her out of here as fast as you can, while I distract Sayer. Then I want you go get security and bring them here, all right?"
She nodded silently and took off, farther into the basement. Yusei stood up and raised his duel disk, turning back towards Sayer.
"Let's DUEL!" they both shouted.
With Rikki
She ran and looked in each cell as fast as she could. But so far she had no luck finding her mother, yet. She finally came to the end of the hallway. Rikki opened the door and saw a figure lying on the floor. Cautiously, she walked into the cell and approached the figure. As she got closer she saw it was her mother. She knelt down and touched her mother's shoulder. Akiza was face down on the floor, unconscious.
"Mommy?" she asked softly, fearing the worst. Her mother had cuts, bruises, and even a couple of burns, "What did Sayer do to you? Mommy! Please wake up."
The redheaded Signer barely stirred and struggled to her eyes. Rikki saw her mother's eyes were dull, like they hardly had a life in them.
"Rikki…" she whispered, "I thought I said to not come back?"
"I found someone that could help, mommy." She told her, "But we have to get out of here." She slid her arms around her mother and tried to lift her. But she was too small to do so, "C'mon, mommy. We have to get out of here."
"Rikki, I can't. Too much pain." Akiza breathed; struggling, she reached up a hand and stroked her daughter's cheek, "You have to…get out of here. You're a strong girl, darling. Save yourself. For me. Save yourself."
"I won't leave you, mommy." She told her. Her mother reached up again and cupped her cheek.
"I love you, darling." She whispered hoarsely, "I'll always love you."
"Mommy, don't leave me!" Rikki begged, beginning to cry.
"I'll always be with you, in here." She moved her hand from her daughter's face and placed it over Rikki's heart.
"I'm not leaving without you!" she insisted.
"It's okay, Rikki." Her mother insisted, "I'll be okay. I'll be safe once I leave."
"'Leave'?" she repeated.
"I'm not going to be around much longer, darling. But you have to carry on." She whispered hoarsely again, before both her head and hand fell onto the stone hard floor.
Rikki didn't think. She just dashed out of the room as fast as she could, trying to get out of Arcadia. She passed Yusei and Sayer's duel, where it horrifyingly seemed the leader of Arcadia had the upper hand. She rushed out of the building and ran to where Sector Security was waiting. The little cobalt-eyed girl ran to the first officer she saw. He had dark hair, a tan that was darker than Yusei's, and a nasty-looking scar on his left cheek.
Rikki pulled on his sleeve, trying to drag him into the building, "Please! I. Need. Help." She said in fragments, using all of her strength to try and pull him.
"We're supposed to go in once Yusei's out with Akiza."
"I can't get mommy out." She told him, "Please."
"Fine." He agreed, and signaled to a couple other security agents. Rikki ran back inside to the duel, where her father only had 200 life points left and his Stardust Dragon on his field; Sayer had 3400 life points and Psychic Snail on his field. She ran up by his side. She saw her father had cuts and a couple burns on him.
"Rikki?" he asked looking down into her fearful eyes, "What's wrong?"
"Didn't Akiza teach you any manners, Rika?" Sayer asked, annoyed and without care, "It's not polite to interrupt."
"Shut up, Sayer!" Yusei barked; he hated very few people, but Sayer was no exception. He hated him with all of his being. He turned his attention back towards the little redhead, "What's wrong? Where's Akiza?"
"She won't get up. She can't. Daddy, I need your help. She's been beaten…bad."
Yusei turned towards the psychic with daggers for eyes, "You're vile! I'm going to avenge Akiza for what you did to her." He felt his Mark glow brightly before he saw it disappear and his top card glowed. Perfect! He thought. He craned his neck to see his back; The Crimson Dragon's seal was there.
Mommy's arm glowed like that, too. Rikki thought quietly.
"It's my move!" he announced, drawing the glowing card and felt Rikki cling to his leg.
Yusei: 200; Sayer: 3400
"Since Stardust Dragon is on my field, I can special summon the Stardust Xiaolong in my graveyard." A blue and green dragon appeared on his field.
Stardust Xiaolong: Lv. 1. 100 ATK/100 DEF
"Now I summon Majestic Dragon to the field in attack mode." A pink dragon appeared next to his two other ones.
Majestic Dragon: Lv. 1. 0 ATK/0 DEF
"I tune my level one Majestic Dragon with my level eight Stardust Dragon and level one Stardust Xiaolong to synchro summon Majestic Star Dragon!" the pink dragon turned into one green ring and encircled the other two dragons, which had become nine shining stars. A flash of light shone before a brilliant bluish-white dragon appeared. Rikki was mesmerized by it; it was more amazing than Stardust Dragon.
Majestic Star Dragon: Lv. 10. 3800 ATK/3000 DEF
"Now I activate my trap Synchro Strike. Now my dragon gain 500 attack points for every monster I used to synchro summon it. So now Majestic Star gains 1500 attack points.
Majestic Star Dragon: Lv. 10. 5300 ATK/3000 DEF
"Now, Majestic Star Dragon, attack!"
Majestic Star Dragon: 5300 ATK; Psychic Snail: 1900 ATK
His dragon swooped down and destroyed Sayer's monster, dropping the Sayer's life points.
Yusei: 200; Sayer: 0

AnimeKiwi369: Hopefully tomorrow.
Yusei: So we don't have to keep wondering what's going to happen next?
AnimeKiwi369: Yep! So, please review and please review kindly and appropriately please. And thanks for being patient. ;D
