Bonds Beyond Time, Space, and Dimension

by Iron-ninja211

William was a second-rate duelist with a Meta 2 deck but he was a superb strategist when he needed to be. One day during a tournament someone steals his best Crusadia card and when he persues he somehow ends up in the Yugioh dimension. With his signature link deck and many other decks he owns, he must track down this thief through time and space before it's too late.

3. The Chase Is On!

Hello everyone it's me again.

Originally I wanted to make this chapter longer but I ended up splitting it into two parts. The way it turned out I happen to indeed like it.

I put a lot of effort into trying to get you an idea and more of a picture of what is going on. Hopefully, I succeeded in that.

Please do leave a review I do enjoy reading those, they give me the motivation to continue writing.

All rights of Yugioh belong to Konami.

Edit: I finally was able to relook at this chapter again and the group chat was messed up again! How just how?! I made sure everything was good before I posted it! It doesn't matter I was able to fix it I'm so sorry for that eye sore.

Chapter 3: The Chase Is On!

I'm driving my truck. I need to go faster. It's the only way. I can't lose them. I can't slow down.

"Wait," I thought "Why am I doing this? Who am I following?"

The thought escapes me when I dodge a car going too slow. I pull around it and just keep putting the pedal to the metal. I look ahead of me to see a person on a motorcycle going just as fast. They're bobbing and weaving around cars breaking the law just as I am. My instinct tells me to follow them, I don't know why but I know I can't let them escape my sight.

We pull up to a cross intersection that has a church at one of its cross points. I'm familiar with that church, I've heard it features as a Christian academy. I look ahead and the light is red but the motorist pays no heed and just drives through it.

"I can't let them escape" My thoughts ring in my head. I'm going to blow the light too.

I give gas and accelerate not paying heed as well to the light. As I'm halfway through it I hear a honking noise and look to my left. A white moving truck is there. It's going to hit me at my driver's side door. I could only say one thing under my breath before we crashed.

"Oh, shit…"

We make contact.

XXXXXXXXX

"GAAAAH!" I screamed as I sat up.

I'm on my bed again, in my camper once more. My cat once again gave me the stink eye for waking her up. It was just another bad dream.

"Fuck~," I say as I fall back on my bed frustrated, hands once again in my face. "That's it! I'm taking a break from split/second!"

A racing game I've been playing to pass the time this past week instead of watching anime.

Yep, it's been exactly one week since what happened at the card shop. When word about what happened with the woman and the card shop got out around town it spread like wildfire to the point people were trying to find her. No one was able to, it was like she disappeared off the face of the world. Did I care? To be honest no, if she was gone she probably left town. When the rest of the online group heard about it, man they just wouldn't drop it.

I get up to start my day, it's around 9 in the morning but I'm still shaking from the dream I had. It felt way too real to the point I can feel the impact on my left side of my body. I grabbed my glasses and went to once again fill my dog water for the day and feed my cat. As I was refilling my dog water bowl the group chat, days ago, had replayed in my mind.

(Present day)

After that day they wouldn't stop messing me every day making sure I was ok. It's even gotten me paranoid to watch my back every day going to work. So far nothing has popped about her. I should stop worrying. She's gone and it's tournament day anyway.

I finished my daily chores and decided to download some more tunes. I have a few more hours to kill before the shop opens and there has been some music I've been meaning to download. After 2 hours of music downloading it's now 11 am I need to head out now.

I was about to head out when I stopped myself for a second almost forgetting that I promised to bring my weapons to show the guys at the card shop. I bragged about them after the tournament ended and most of the guys wanted to see them and I had promised to bring them to show them, and I never broke a promise. Just not in the shop though, Jimmy would kill me for bringing a homemade sledgehammer in his shop.

After packing the many hand weapons in the back seat of my truck, double-checking if I had all my cards, and my gear, it was time to head out.

XXXXXXXXX

I pulled into the parking lot. There are fewer cars here, probably because the rush was over from last week. Fewer people in the tournament means more chances to win. I get out and put my mask on once again grabbing my AOT satchel full of my cards and head on inside the shop.

My observation was right there as a lot fewer people were here or it could be because I'm early. I sit down at a table pulling out my multiple decks thinking which I should play.

"Hey Will?" I look up and see Jimmy standing next to my table. "Since we have a small group I'm going to grab some pizza before the tournament starts. Do you want a box? I'm grabbing one for everyone, I'm paying."

"Heck yea man. Meatballs with mushrooms please but I'm paying for my own." I replied, giving him 10 dollars in cash for the pizza.

"Huh... odd choice but ill make sure to get it. Michael is watching the store till I get back so if you need anything ask him." He states as he leaves to grab the pizza.

I'm back looking through my decks again. "I think this time I should try my blue eyes deck because it's more competitive, but then again orcust decks have given me problems in the past. But I want to knock out my opponent, so maybe electrum FTK deck?" These thoughts were going through my head different strategies to try out and none of these decks I haven't tested out yet myself so failure was possible.

I don't know how much time has passed till Jimmy came back with the pizza boxes. I decided to wash up before I started eating so I headed to the bathroom. I decided the FTK would possibly work best this time. I could try something different next week.

I heard a commotion outside the bathroom but I paid no mind to it. They were probably arguing about which Masked HERO was a girl again. They do that sometimes, it's odd. I was just drying my hand when now there was screaming and… did someone just fall?

"What's going on out there?" I asked in my head.

I quickly finish and open the door to see Jimmys lying on the ground holding his stomach with Michael holding someone in a black hoodie by both of their wrists. While they struggle to free themself, they kick him in his crotch and bolts out of the store leaving him to fall in pain.

"Jimmy!" I ran over to him "Hey Jimmy you ok? What the fuck just happen!?"

"Will...your cards," Jimmy said through a gasped breath. "They took… your card."

I ran over to take a look at my cards and my crusadia deck was scattered around the table. The specific card sleeve I didn't see in the pile was my only single blue eyes white dragon sleeve, that was the sleeve Avramax was in. They just stole Averamax! I repack all my cards, quickly slung the satchel over my shoulder, and ran out of the store.

As I open the door I see the perpetrator take off on what looks like a futuristic-looking Tron bike turning out of the parking lot. Wait… Tron bike… it's that woman from last week!

"Somebody call the law!" I yelled back in the shop "It's that grabby bitch from last week."

I ran to my truck, tossed my bag in, and hopped in as well. As I started the engine I can hear Tristen yelling at me from the shop.

"Will! What are you doing?!" he yelled at me from the door of the shop.

"Getting my card back!" I yelled back from the seat of my truck with the door still open.

I slammed the door shut, reversed out of the parking space, and then punched it out of the parking lot.

XXXXXXXXX

I followed the road as she did, speeding down it passing car by car trying to find her.

"Where is she?" I asked myself out loud.

I finally found her stopped at a light with other cars. Same bike, Same black hoodie. The light turned green and she took off speeding down the road.

"Not this time bitch!"

I hit the gas and was catching up to her little by little. She must have heard me because she suddenly looked back and gunned her bike as well. She had a black mask on too with sunglasses, no wonder the guys didn't recognize her. I made sure to keep my eyes on her. I didn't want to lose her in fear of losing my card as well. It may have been a 15 dollar card but it's a 15 dollar card that took me months to track down and I'm not losing 15 bucks to a thief. I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing I failed.

I was getting closer and closer, almost 4 cars away. We came up to another crossing and it just turned red. She gunned it and sped through it. I had to risk it. I can't stop for- wait. I looked around quickly. That was the Christian academy church I saw in my dream. I looked to the oncoming traffic on my left and saw the truck from my dream as well.

Time seemed to slow down for me as my brain was processing the outcome. I saw the dotted line I was going on and the point of impact of both vehicles. I saw a chance of escape if I had veered more to the right and had accelerated fully. Possible death decreased greatly by 75 percent but the possible impact hasn't changed. I have to risk it!

I suddenly veered right and completely floored the pedal, hoping I could make the small gap. I heard the truck honk as it was coming, then I heard its breaks as it was trying to stop. At the corner of my left eye, I see it on my left door. Then it's behind me. I passed it.

My victory was cut short as my rear jerked to the right. I was skidding down the road with my rear coming around. My split/second instincts kicked in and turned the wheel to the right to regain control. I was able to get myself recorrected and drove on. Looking at my left side mirror and saw the very very back end of my truck dented in. Looks like the truck nipped me, that's probably why I nearly lost control. I took a breath and started giving chase again.

Realization suddenly just hit me as to what just happened just now.

"That was another vision last night." I thought to myself

I've actually had this happen to me a couple of times in the past, getting visions of the future. It was rarer than pulling a Yugioh card worth a couple of hundred dollars from a pack. I don't remember much from these visions but i remember scenes from them. For example, one I recall I was in a big building that I thought was a church. I had opened a door and I saw a long hallway that turned in an odd sideways curved angle like it was going down a hill to the left. A few years later my family took a vacation to Washington DC.

While we were there we went and explored an underground hallway that was public used to get from the Capital to the Library of Congress. As I looked back from the end of the hallway when I was standing at the doors and I saw that same hallway from my dream. If I said I was freaking out at that time, that would have been an understatement. I have told my family about this but they brushed it off saying I was only messing around or something so since then I have kept it to myself.

As the feeling of deja vu finally ran its course I realized I fell back and did my best to catch up. I had to get my card back.

I was lucky to have found her again down the road, she apparently never turned down any side street. Once I was on her rear again, she had taken a double-take when she saw me and accelerated again. I gave chase once again.

It felt like forever chasing her down as we drove on state road 25 east and kept going. We ended up turning down a few back roads and kept going. I ended up following her on a long stretch of road that I knew went on for about a few miles. I was trying to figure out how I was even going to stop her. I didn't even think of that far into my plan, my thoughts of a pit maneuver cops usually try would have worked but I didn't want to throw them off their bike and kill her.

As I was still trying to figure something out streaks of light started passing us. It was small at first and only small bits were appearing, that's why I missed it at first, but then more and more had started appearing, white lines appearing from thin air, and that's when it caught my attention. My truck was starting to rev faster and it was like I had no control over it. I looked back at the female thief and it seemed she was glowing right in front of me. I was about a car away from her just enough to draft off of her. Whatever was happening was also causing my truck to glow as well. The dark green color of my ford explorer sports trac was now glowing white and getting brighter. I had to shield my eyes with my left arm so I could at least be able to see something in front of me.

I don't know what happened next but it was so bright all of a sudden. The sudden feeling of my body getting ripped apart waved over me. I wanted to scream from the pain but when I did nothing came out. I couldn't even hear the engine of my truck anymore. I don't know how long I was like this but when the pain stopped and I could finally see, what I saw baffled the hell out of me.

The world was gone and instead, I was in a bright colorful tunnel that seemed to be swirling around me in odd Magenta, Green, Yellow, and White colors. I felt like I was in some sort of milkshake. The pavement road in front of me had turned into a road of light like in the Yugioh 5D Fortune cup finally where Jack and Yusei dueled each other. Speaking of in front, the thief woman was still in front of me.

She seemed to have relaxed a bit, probably thought she got away by teleporting to wherever the hell we are. Imagine her reaction as I honked my horn and flipped her off when she turned around. If she wasn't wearing that mask and hood I bet her face would have been priceless. She seemed to have gotten the message and gunned it down the tunnel when she turned right back around, this time at an insane speed that my truck couldn't reach if I tried.

I had maxed out my speedometer for the first time in my life. My truck was full acceleration and doing its best to catch up but she was now out of sight. This road had to end somewhere and at the end of it is where she will be.

When I least expected it, I found the end of this tunnel just like an open door like any other normal tunnel. I left the milkshake tunnel and into a blue void of space. I looked in my rearview and saw what I had left was a giant glowing ball of light that didn't even hurt your eyes when you look at it. My focus was once again on the road in front of me, the end shouldn't be that far-

I braked... hard.

The sounds, and smell, of rubber wheels skidding on the light road were unpleasant as was the force of being thrown forward. All my things in my seat now we're on the floor of my truck whether it was the front seat or back seat. I had looked off in the distance and saw that the road had split… into multiple paths.

There was the road I was currently on. It went straight than curved and spit then curved some more and split some more and some of those split roads of light have some of their own splits. Left, right, up, down. The road up ahead goes around each other, over each other, under each other. It was a maze of lights that looked like a mess of hot wheels tracks spaghetti of roads branching around each other in no fashion and what's worse at the end of every road was another orb of light. What looked like hundreds of orbs of lights in the distance had to be where every track ended the sheer amount of them never seemed to end the father you look.

I put my truck in park and shut off the engine. I opened the door and stepped on the doorstep to take a better look at my surroundings. The first thought that came to my mind at that moment.

"What have I gotten myself into?"
