Sakura: Like?
Me: Tears of Light, which is an alternate storyline to this story, Knightmare Sakura, which is a crossover between two of my favorite animes, Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's and Code Geass, and Code Lyoko: A New Journey which is a Code Lyoko story.
Sakura: Sounds like you've been busy
Me: With those stories and school work
Sakura: On with the disclaimer?
Me: Yes please

Sakura: Sometimes I read some of your stories when you're not looking
Me: Well, enjoy!
I watch on my screen as Yusei made his way to the elevator, but he needed to duck, like now.
"Duck!" exclaimed Blister
The elevator doors exploded a few seconds after Yusei ducked, and the good news was, he was okay. Bad news, Trudge was on his tail. When Trudge played a speed spell that increased his Search Striker's attack points, I think the speed spell was Rapid Shot Wing, which is basically what Speed Energy is, but you need 4 speed counters to activate it, and it only gives a monster 100 extra attack points per speed counter, he was in a jam. Good thing he had that trap card, Confusion Chaft, otherwise, his life points would've went down the drain.
"Yusei, brace yourself." Said Blister
"The next stop is…the ground floor!" I exclaimed
"See ya Trudge!" exclaimed Yusei
"You told me the elevator was at the top floor!" I exclaimed
"I lied." Said Blister
"Hey, Yusei, I hope you like the Facility, ARGH!" exclaimed Trudge
"And I hope you like crashing to the floor!" I exclaimed after Blister kicked Trudge in the face.
"Blister? Sakura? Wow, thanks guys." Said Yusei
"Forget the 'thank you's'. I'm only here to check out my handiwork and see you don't get caught. 'Cause if word got out that I slipped up somehow, my reputation might not ever be able to recover. And don't go thinking this makes us friends or anything, got that? I already ruined one friendship." Said Blister
"I'm only here because you're my friend Yusei, and I'll do anything to help a friend." I said
"Tell us about Aero." Said Yusei
"Fine, it's like I told you before, we were tag team duelists in the semi-pro league. We were at the top of our game and it was all because Aero was a great competitor and even greater friend. He though we'd be champions forever, but Aero couldn't see the big picture. We were never gonna make money stuck doing tag duels, I had to go solo. And so, when a rep from Kaiba Corp. showed up one day with a case full of money, how could I say 'no'? I had a new sponsor, a new gig, and an open road right to the big leagues. I'm talking about duelists like Atlas, Phoenix, Truesdale, the legends. But was Aero happy? What do you think?" asked Blister
"I'm guessing not very." I said
"He was pretty banged up, and spent a few months in the hospital. He'd never let me say sorry, in fact he only sent me that card you saw to remind me what a bad friend I was. So the next time someone tells you about friendship, will you just remember what I did to my best friend? I hope these pals of yours are worth the risk, 'cause if I know anything about friends, I bet that they hang out with you only because they want something from you in return." Said Blister
"No, they're good people Blister." Said Yusei
"Nobody's good forever, so you two better just watch out for yourselves." Said Blister
"You're wrong. You're just too angry with yourself too see the truth. Blister, can't you see that your friend Aero never wanted to hurt you?" asked Yusei
"Huh?" asked Blister
"Sometimes friends, do some stupid things, huh?" asked Yusei
"Like a certain friend I know, he turned his back on who he really was just to get ahead, and it was stupid. Sure, I admit, I haven't forgiven him for what he did, but even though what he did was wrong, I still consider him my friend. But like Yusei said, sometimes friends do stupid things." I said
"You can say that again!" exclaimed Trudge
"What the?" I exclaimed
"This duel ain't over yet, punk! Your move!" exclaimed Trudge
"If it isn't Officer Trudge." I said
"My, don't think it'll help you escape from me." Said Trudge
"Here we go!" exclaimed Yusei
Yusei LP 1400 SPC: 4/ Trudge LP 3300 SPC: 6
"Time to rev it up! I summon Speed Warrior in attack mode! (ATK: 900/ DEF: 400) Now check this out officer, my warrior's attack points are doubled!" exclaimed Yusei
"Ha! What a waste Yusei! I activate my trap card, Power Bind! Now Speed Warrior can't attack until next turn, and until then, his attack points are zero! Kinda like your chances of getting out of this duel without a one-way ticket back to the Facility!" exclaimed Trudge
Speed Warrior (ATK: 0)
"Sorry Satellite, but that runner's staying put. Hahahahaha! But then on second thought, maybe I should just crush it into a cube. I'll be sure to take pictures so you can hang them in your cell!" exclaimed Trudge
"Whoa, he sure doesn't like you." Said Blister
"If you think it's bad now, wait until I play this, Reactor Pod!" exclaimed Yusei
"A Speed Spell?" exclaimed Trudge
"And not just any Speed Spell, this one makes you take damage for Speed Warrior's original attack points." Said Yusei
"Wow, you remind me so much of Aero, you're not afraid of anything that guy throws in your way." Said Blister
"Well we're sure Aero wasn't scared because he had you as his teammate." I said
"And, that's exactly how I feel right now having you as my wingman Blister, and you as a teammate Sakura." Said Yusei
"Thanks Yuse." I said
Yusei LP 1400 SPC: 4/ Trudge LP 2400 SPC: 6
"What else you got? Or is that all for now?" asked Trudge
"I'm just gonna play a face-down Trudge." Said Yusei
Yusei LP 1400 SPC: 4/ Trudge LP 2400 SPC: 6
"About time, now I draw!" exclaimed Trudge
Yusei LP 1400 SPC: 5/ Trudge LP 2400 SPC: 7
"And don't forget punk, Speed Warrior's got zero attack points! Which means he should be easy pickings, Search Striker, attack!" exclaimed Trudge
"Not so fast, I play my trap, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow! Sorry Trudge, not only is your attack canceled, but I get to place my scarecrow face-down again. You'll have to try harder than that." Said Yusei
"Way to go Yusei! Put that officer in his place!" I exclaimed
"Is this what you had in mind? I play Final Countdown! And this card is all about giving something to get something! The more face-down cards I send to the graveyard, the more life points you lose. 500 for one, 1500 for three, and 3000 for four! And last I checked, you had 1400 life points so by sending three face-downs to my grave, you lose the duel and I win, I got one face-down out there already, and come next turn, I'm gonna throw down two more and make three! And after that Yusei, it's game over Satellite! You got one turn left, make it count." Said Trudge
"I just don't see how you can win this duel now Yusei. No matter how fast you try and go, you can't outrun that card's effect!" exclaimed Blister
"Oh no? Just watch!" exclaimed Yusei
Yusei LP 1400 SPC: 6/ Trudge LP 2400 SPC: 8
"Listen up Speed Warrior; it's time for some defense! And next I'm summoning out Healing Wave Generator (ATK: 800/ DEF: 1600) to help generate a little more 'D' for myself. Now thanks to my generator's special ability, I choose my level two Speed Warrior; so that I can give my life points a 200 point boost." Said Yusei
Yusei LP 1600 SPC: 6/ Trudge LP 2400 SPC: 8
"And with that bonus, it looks like you'll need four face-downs to win this, and I don't plan on letting that happen." Said Yusei
"We'll see Satellite!" exclaimed Trudge
"If your goal is to make that guy even angrier, I call that combo a resounding success. I just hope you pull this off Yusei." Said Blister
"For once, we agree." I said
"Me too, I play two face-downs and end my turn." Said Yusei
"Alright then, my move!" exclaimed Trudge
Yusei LP 1600 SPC: 7/ Trudge LP 2400 SPC: 9
"And I summon the tuner monster, Torapart! (ATK: 600/ DEF: 600) And now I tune my Torapart and my Search Striker in order to Synchro Summon Goyo Guardian! (ATK: 2800/ DEF: 2000) Now take out that Healing Wave Generator!" exclaimed Trudge
"Don't you learn? I can still play my Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!" exclaimed Yusei
"What's going on with Scrap-Iron Scarecrow?" I exclaimed
"Oh no you can't, see with Torapart in my graveyard, you can't trigger your trap this round. So it looks like Scrap-Iron Scarecrow is scaring nothing away!" exclaimed Trudge
"Gee, thanks for the FYI." I muttered
"And now my Goyo Guardian's taking control of your Healing Wave Generator! So with your generator on my side of the field, not only can I use its strength to fortify my defenses, but your own monster's gonna win this for me, Satellite, 'cause now I get a power surge, to the tune of 100 life points for each level of a monster I pick. And by choosing my Guardian, I gain 600 more life points! I'm almost back to full power! Ha-ha! Yusei, there's nothing better than outsmarting a smart alek! " exclaimed Trudge
Yusei LP 1600 SPC: 7/ Trudge LP 3000 SPC: 9
"And don't think I forgot about Final Countdown! So with this face-down, you're one card away from loosing!" exclaimed Trudge
"Hey, what're you doin'? Like I said, I can't afford to have you lose this duel and end up getting caught, 'cause if you go down, so do I. So what're you plannin'?" asked Blister
"I usually don't agree with people I just met, but I'm with Blister, what are you planning Yusei?" I asked
"I'm planning on winning this duel Blister, and that's exactly what I'm going to do Sakura! And, your friendship is going to make it all possible." Said Yusei
Yusei…
"Blister! Sakura! I need you to help me out here!" exclaimed Yusei
"How many times must I say this? I'll always help a friend in need!" I exclaimed
"Listen, the last thing you want is me as a friend you two. Friends may get you through your day in the Satellite, but over here, they just get in the way!" exclaimed Blister
"That's not true Blister!" I exclaimed
"I know you don't believe that. We saw the card Blister, the one that Aero rescued from your last race. Remember?" asked Yusei
"It might have been a bit on the burned side, but your friend risked his life just to retrieve that card from the fire." I said
"Stop it! He gave me that card to remind me that I failed our friendship!" exclaimed Blister
"You're wrong." Said Yusei
"Huh?" said Blister
"He gave you that card, as a symbol of your friendship, and no matter what road your two lives might have taken since that day, he's still your friend." Said Yusei
"Aero doesn't blame you for the accident, he blames himself. He probably thought if he only supported you a little more, he could've been there by your side all the way to the pro league. It's not that he didn't want you to go, he didn't want you to go alone!" I exclaimed
"So he gave you the only thing that mattered, the card that fused your friendship, you know why? Because without his best friend, he didn't care about dueling anymore, but if you ever needed help you know Aero would be there without a second to waste. Whatever you think, there's one thing in Aero that hasn't changed, he's your friend." Said Yusei
"I…don't know what to think." Said Blister
"Just one thing that we're your friends as well." Said Yusei
"And we mean it." I said
"It's my move!" exclaimed Yusei
Yusei LP 1600 SPC: 8/ Trudge LP 3000 SPC: 10
'He'll win this, right Grunika?' I mentally asked
"Of course he will, he beat Jack, he can beat that Officer!" exclaimed Flamvell Grunika
"And I summon, Turbo Synchron! (ATK: 100/ DEF: 500) And the bonus of having a tuner monster out there is that Quillbolt Hedgehog (ATK: 800/ DEF: 800) comes back from the graveyard! I think it's about time we take this battle to the next level! Now Turbo Synchron, take out his Healing Wave Generator!" exclaimed Yusei
"What? He doesn't stand a chance against that monster! What? Are all those diesel fumes chunking at your brain cells? You're gonna lose this one Satellite!" exclaimed Trudge
Yusei LP 100 SPC: 7/ Trudge LP 3000 SPC: 10
"Told ya and now you're down to 100 life points. Nice knowin' ya." Said Trudge
"Why? You plannin' on goin' somewhere, or did you forget that when Turbo Synchron attacks, even if he loses, I can summon another monster, and I got just the one in mind. I didn't use her in our last match in the pipeline, Sonic Chick, say hello! (ATK: 300/ DEF: 300) Next I play my trap card, Urgent Tuning! So now by combining all the monsters on my field, I can use their bond to bring out a beast that will end this duel. I enjoyed my time at The Facility, but this Synchro Summon is gonna make sure I don't go back!" exclaimed Yusei
"Oh man, Aero played a similar combo in our first tag team championship match! Yusei, you sure you can handle a move like this?" asked Blister
"Don't do it!" exclaimed Trudge panicking
"Sorry Trudge, now I tune my Turbo Synchron with my Quillbolt Hedgehog, Speed Warrior, and Sonic Chick, to Synchro Summon, Turbo Warrior! Clustering bonds weave a greater force! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Rev your engines, Turbo Warrior! (ATK: 2500/ DEF: 1500) Turbo Warrior, let's rev it up!" exclaimed Yusei
"What a move!" exclaimed Blister
"Now Turbo Warrior, take out that Goyo Guardian!" exclaimed Yusei
"Is he crazy?" exclaimed Flamvell Grunika
'Just watch.' I mentally said
"Still can't add, can you Yusei? Perhaps you can take remedial math back at The Facility, maybe then you'll learn." Said Trudge
"Well, let me teach you something first, like what my Warrior can do. It cuts your Guardian's attack points right in half, say good-bye." Said Yusei
"What?" exclaimed Trudge
"Yusei! You got him on the ropes!" exclaimed Blister
Goyo Guardian (ATK: 1400)
"Big deal, even with half its strength gone, I can still survive. But next round, you're out of time, 'cause I'm activating my Countdown's effect!" exclaimed Trudge
Is Yusei smiling?
"Next round? There is no next round Trudge, I play Synchro Strike, which gives 500 more attack points to my Turbo Warrior for every monster I used to Synchro Summon it." Said Yusei
"No!" exclaimed Trudge
"And if my math is right, that adds up to your defeat." Said Yusei
"How can this be? With that kind of power, I can't stop that Warrior from wiping out all of my life points!" exclaimed Trudge
Turbo Warrior (ATK: 4500)
"I won't let you win!" exclaimed Trudge
"Look out!" exclaimed Blister
"I don't care if I have to cheat to do it, but the only way you're getting out of here is with a Sector Security escort!" exclaimed Trudge
I was about to wedge myself between Yusei and Trudge when Blister did it for me.
"No!" exclaimed Blister
"You too! Fine! There's plenty of room in The Facility!" exclaimed Trudge
"Attack now!" exclaimed Blister
"I can't!" exclaimed Yusei
"Just attack! Isn't this what friends are for?" asked Blister
"They are." Said Yusei
"Back off! My friend's got a duel to win!" exclaimed Blister
"Now, Turbo Warrior, finish the job!" exclaimed Yusei
Yusei LP 100 SPC: 7/ Trudge LP 0 SPC: 7
After the finishing blow, Blister and Trudge fell down to the ground.
"Blister!" Yusei and I exclaimed in unison
"Yusei! Sakura! Just get out of here! Go!" exclaimed Blister
"We'll be back for you Blister!" I exclaimed
I was lucky enough to avoid Sector Security and their electrocution torture, but Yusei wasn't so lucky, he got most of the shocks. But our duel runners were out of control and we were heading straight for a wall! As we crashed into the wall, Yusei and I fell off our duel runners, and slowly, I fell into unconsciousness.
Me: Cliffhanger! And yes, again I hate those as much as the next person
Sakura: Are you going to make me have amnesia?
Me: No, of course not, maybe *Goes deep in thought*
Sakura: Okay, while she ponders, please review and answer her poll, she accepts all reviews including anonymous and all answers. And you also know that the poll closes on November 2nd, which, by the way is not this Tuesday, but the Tuesday after that.
