Chapter fifteen: Yusei and friends do New York City's sewers
Yusei Fudo and his roommates slash friends, Jack Atlas, Crow Hogan and Kalin Kessler, were all sitting at the dining table in the dining room of the Atlas penthouse, which was located in New Domino City, a suburb of San Francisco, California. As it was the morning, Yusei and the other guys were having breakfast, with Yusei reading the morning paper. As per usual ever since he moved in with the guys, Dukey, who is Kalin's talking dog best friend, was at the table with the guys, drinking a mug of coffee.
"So Yusei," Kalin began in a conversational tone, "How's Akiza doing?"
"She's more pregnant than before, if that's what you mean," Yusei replied as he and Kalin talked about Yusei's girlfriend-turned-wife Akiza, who Yusei got pregnant, "I think that Akiza's due within a short amount of time."
"Not that I'm going to complain about the rug rat, as he or she will be a more civilized person in a conversation than Birdbrain," Jack remarked, "But how in the bloody blazes are we going to pay for the little bugger? It's bad enough that we have ourselves to support, not to mention Akiza, Carly, Brianna, and the wonder twins. How will throwing another mouth to feed into the equation make things easier around here?"
"We'll think of something, Jack," Yusei replied as he turned his attention back to his paper, "We always do."
"I always do, at least," Crow remarked with a cocky grin on his face.
"You bloody hell never come up with anything, Birdbrain," Jack remarked. As Crow and Jack got into an argument, Jack's girlfriend, Carly Carmine, came walking into the dining room.
"Hey Jack," Carly began in a mildly hesitant tone, "Do you have a sec? I need to talk to you about something that's very important."
"Well I always have time for you, Carly," Jack replied as he shoved Crow out of view with enough force to throw the broom-headed turbo duelist into the nearest obstacle (an armchair in the living room). His full attention on Carly, Jack asked in a kind and understanding tone, "What's on your mind now, Carly?"
"I need a lift to New York City," Carly replied.
"…I beg your pardon?" Jack said, caught off guard by the seemingly out of nowhere request from his girlfriend.
"There's this reporter's convention going on in New York City," Carly explained, "And I'm expecting a fellow reporter who's a close friend of mine to meet me there." Giving her best puppy-dog look to Jack, Carly said, "I'd really, really appreciate it if you can take me to New York City."
"Uhh, about that, Carly," Crow said as he walked back into the dining room, "Jack threw a hissy fit when Brianna asked for a lift down to Echo Creek, which is a six to eight-hour drive from here, because her dad died down there. You're asking for a lift to New York City, which is clear on the other side of the country from here, for a convention. The fuck makes you think that Jack is will-"
"I will personally see right to it that we'll get you to New York City, Carly," Jack replied, interrupting Crow in the process, as the blonde turbo duelist laid a hand on Carly's shoulder in a comforting gesture.
"…Oh, you son of a bitch," Crow muttered. (1)
"Relax, Crow," Yusei said as he turned to face his friend, apparently having heard what Crow muttered, "We can get to New York City the same way we got to Sheltered Shrubs. The only change is that we're bringing Carly along for the ride."
"You know, Yusei," Kalin began, "We've brought Brianna along on one of our adventures, we've brought Dukey along for one as well, and now we're bringing Carly. When do you think we'll bring Akiza?"
"Not until after she's given birth, at least," Yusei remarked, "The last thing we need while we're in Bumfuck, Mexico or whatever is for Akiza to give birth."
"Because your kid won't be able to become the President of the United States?" Crow asked, "Because I'm pretty sure that being born in Bumfuck, Mexico will nix that option for your kid."
"…That's technically correct, but it's not really the point I'm trying to make here," Yusei said while pointing to Crow, "The point I'm trying to make is that I don't want Akiza going into labor while we're out and about."
"Well how about the wonder twins?" Crow asked, "Surely Leo and Luna are going to get a turn at some point."
"If Luna can get her grades in math and science up, maybe," Yusei replied as he folded his newspaper and set it at his place at the table. (2) Standing up from the table, Yusei continued, "But that's beside the point. We've got a trip to New York City to pack for!"
"Yay!" Carly cheered as she pumped a fist into the air.
About a half-hour later, a tear in the fabric of space appeared in a parking lot somewhere in New York City. Yusei's Volkswagen van drove out of the tear and parked in the parking lot before the tear vanished. "So, Carly," Jack began as he turned around to face Carly, who sat in the back of the van, "When and where will this convention of yours take place?"
"It's not for a few days, but then again I wasn't expecting us to get here so quickly," Carly replied.
"Ehh, that's fair," Jack said. Turning back around so he could face Yusei, Jack continued, "I take it that we're going to find a hotel or someplace to check into?"
"It shouldn't be a problem," Yusei replied, "So long as nothing weird happens while we're here, of course."
"…I'm not even going to bother," Kalin muttered to himself, too quietly for anyone else in the van to hear. (3)
After the group climbed out of the Volkswagen van, Yusei said, "Alright. We just need to get our bearings on where we're at and we'll be good to-" Yusei was cut off when he and the others heard a woman cry out in panic. Turning their attention to the direction the cry came from, they saw a woman being chased by what looked to be gang members in their late teens to very early twenties. The gang members all varied in appearance, but all of them had a purple-colored silhouette of a serpentine dragon somewhere on their respective persons, whether it was a tattoo or part of their outfits.
As for the woman herself, she had red hair that was up in a bun on the back of her head, save for the bangs that framed her face. She wore a midriff-exposing purple top, light brown pants with a belt that held them up, blue shoes, and for some reason, a white lab coat. "Bloody hell, guys," Jack said as he pointed out the scene of the gang members chasing the woman, "That woman's in trouble! We ought to save her!"
"You're damn straight we ought to save her!" Carly nearly exclaimed, "That's April O'Neil! She's my friend I was telling you about!"
"Huh, well ain't that a coincidence," Crow said as he ran at the gang members while drawing his Sig Sauer 9MM from its holster. Yusei and the others ran towards the gang members as well, intending to do whatever they can think of.
Yusei immediately leapt up and struck one of the gang members across the face with his foot, sending that gang member tumbling to the ground. Jack cupped his right fist with his left hand before he swung his right elbow into the throat of one of the gang members, then he smacked another gang member that was trying to sneak up from behind in the face with the back of his left hand, curled into a fist. Kalin pulled out a thing of pepper spray and sprayed it in the face of any of the gang members that came close to him. Kalin also struck one or two of the gang members in the groin with kicks.
Crow shot a few gang members with his Sig Sauer 9MM, striking mostly in non-fatal areas, although Crow did headshot a female gang member, killing her as a result. While the guys were engaging the gang members, Carly got April out of the area of the fighting.
"Who are those guys, Carly?" April asked as she and Carly hid behind Yusei's Volkswagen van.
"The blonde guy is my boyfriend Jack," Carly explained, "And the others are Jacks friends slash roommates. The dark-haired guy with yellow highlights in his hair is Yusei, the white-haired guy is Kalin, and the broom-headed one is Crow." With something of a nervous chuckle, Carly said, "I bet you can't really relate to having a group of four guys who do a lot of the fighting for you."
"You'd be surprised," April remarked dryly as Yusei and the other guys came walking up.
"The gang members have all either fled, been knocked out, or killed," Yusei said. To April, Yusei said, "Carly told us you're her friend April O'Neil, right?" After the reporter nodded in the affirmative, Yusei asked, "The hell were those guys all about?"
"That was a group of Purple Dragon gang members," April explained, "They're a gang of thugs based here in New York City. They do various gang-related activities, and have been known to shake down small businesses for protection money. I heard rumor that there's an abandoned warehouse that they've been using as something of a base of operations, and I thought that by exposing it and getting police to smoke the gang members out, I'd finally make a mark in the world of journalism."
"You tried to smoke out a dangerous criminal gang on your own?" Carly asked in an impressed tone, "Wow, girl, that's pretty ballsy, even for you."
"More like stupid, Carly," Jack remarked. To April, Jack said, "With all due respect, going into something that, especially alone, is nothing short of Birdbrain-level dumb, not to mention the fact that you could have gotten yourself killed. Suicide is not the Jedi way." (4)
"I didn't go in alone, you know," April retorted, "In fact, I had my own group of four guys backing me up. But when we were discovered by the purple dragons, the boys told me to hightail it out of there while they kept the purple dragons busy."
"You think your friends will be okay, April?" Carly asked.
"Pfft, like a bunch of petty thugs are capable of taking down those four," April said as she dismissed any worried Carly had.
"You seem oddly confident about your friends' abilities to get themselves out of that mess," Kalin remarked, "Are you sure that-"
"Hey, April! We took those guys down!" a male voice called out, getting everyone to turn to see four individuals walk up; it was a good thing that no one else was around to see this, because they were humanoid human-sized turtles wearing ninja masks, the one with the orange mask apparently being the one to have called out, if his waving is any indication.
It was true; four human sized humanoid turtles, all wearing ninja masks over their eyes, came walking up to April. The one with the orange mask had a pair of nunchaku, the one with the blue mask had a pair of katanas, the one with the red mask had a pair of sai, and the one with the purple mask had a bo staff. Gesturing to the four humanoid turtles, April said, "Carly, boys, these are my friends I was telling you about."
"I'm surprised they aren't freaking out at the sight of us," remarked the turtle with the red mask.
"We live with a talking dog that can walk on his hind legs," Kalin said, "Also, my friends and I have seen more than our fair share of pretty weird shit, so at this point it will take more than a group of giant humanoid turtles to make us freak out."
"I see," remarked the turtle with the blue mask, "Well anywho, I think introductions are in order. I'm Leonardo, my brother with the orange mask is Michelangelo, my brother with the red mask is Raphael, and my brother with the purple mask is Donatello. You can just call us Leo, Raph, Don and Mikey."
"Did…did your parents have a fetish for renaissance painters, or something?" Jack asked.
"To be honest, Master Splinter named us after people he read about in a book he found in the trash," Mikey replied.
Leaning to his side, Kalin whispered to Jack, "I think we need to report their dad to CPS."
"We need to report these guys to the local news is what we need to do," Jack whispered back, "Four human-sized humanoid turtles that can talk and are armed with ninja weapons. This will make the six-o-clock news for sure!"
"Hey April," Leo said as he gestured to Carly and the guys, "Are they friends of yours?"
"This is my friend Carly and the group she's traveling with," April explained, "They just saved me from a group of purple dragon thugs."
"Can they be trusted?" Don asked.
"Not Birdbrain here," Jack said as he jerked a thumb at Crow.
"Oh, go hump a cup ramen, Jack," Crow dismissed.
"Just like Raph and Mikey," Leo remarked as he observed the banter between Jack and Crow. To his brothers, Leo said, "I think we can trust them."
"You guys in need of a place to crash?" Raph asked Yusei and the others, "We got plenty of space down in the sewers where we live with Master Splinter." (5)
Leaning to his side, Jack whispered to Kalin, "I think you may have had a valid point about calling CPS." This drew a nod of agreement out of Kalin.
"It's not as bad as you guys might picture it to be," April said to the guys and Carly, "I've been down there a few times. They actually have this pretty cool lair thing going on."
"An evil lair?" Crow asked excitedly as he rubbed his hands together.
"Umm, no," Don replied with a mildly confused look on his face, "It's more along the lines of a hidden lair."
"Well if April says it's okay, then I say we go for it," Carly stated.
"And I can't say no to Carly, so I say we give it a go," Jack added.
"Does it smell like most other sewers?" Kalin asked.
"Will there be enough beds for all of us?" Yusei asked.
"Will we meet Killer Croc or the Sewer King?" Crow asked, drawing a smack to the back of his head from Jack. (6)
"You'll see when we get there," Leo replied as he gestured for the guys to follow him, "Anywho, come on. We've got to get going." Yusei and the others all shot each other uncertain looks as they followed the turtles, April and Carly.
Later, Yusei, the guys and Carly were all standing in the turtles' lair. Whistling in an impressed tone, Yusei remarked, "Not bad. Not bad at all."
"Yep!" Mikey said, "This little nest of ours is what we call home. We've been living here ever since we were covered in radioactive slime that mutated us into giant humanoid turtles with the ability to talk." Gesturing to the whole of the lair, Mikey asked, "What do you guys think?"
"Meh, if it wasn't for the fact that our next-door neighbor's kids each owns a deity as a pet, I would have been a lot more impressed," Kalin remarked.
"So, April," Carly said as she turned to face her fellow reporter, "Do you have any idea how long the purple dragons have been in business?"
April was about to speak, but she was cut off when a male voice speaking in a Brooklyn accent spoke out, "Ever since I was a kid, at the least!" Yusei and the others all turned to see a tall guy approximately their age walk in. He wore boots, blue pants, a dark red men's tank-top, had fair skin and long dark hair. "Hey boys," the new guest said to the turtles while pointing to Yusei and the guys, "Who are these weirdos?"
"Calling us weirdos while you're talking to four human-sized humanoid turtles seems a bit odd, don't you think?" Jack asked the guest.
"Are you from England?!" the guest said as he walked menacingly towards Jack while pulling out a pair of baseball bats, "It's time to batter up!"
"Casey, no!" April said, "He helped saved me from being attacked by members of the purple dragon gang! No batter up!"
"And I'm Australian, you bloody wanker!" Jack snapped angrily.
"April, you know this guy?" Carly asked as she turned to face April.
Nodding in the affirmative, April said, "This is Casey Jones. He's a friend of mine and the turtle brothers over there."
"What's shaking, my man?" Raph said to Casey as he offered a high-five, which was acted upon right away.
"I heard that there's been a newly discovered purple dragon hide-out, and that it's crawling with the punks," Casey remarked as he put his baseball bats away, "I wanna be on the frontlines when we move in and take them out!"
"Amen to that, dude!" Raph replied, "But, uhh, we gotta exercise caution, you know?"
"Wait a bloody minute here," Jack interrupted. With all eyes on him, Jack continued, "The bloody fuck is wrong with all of you? Do you seriously believe that moving in on a hide-out swarming with gang members is a good idea when you're so few in number? Why not call the police and send them in on the location?"
"Because this oaf of a man who is my rival in reporting here will force his way into being the one who reports on this on the news," April replied, "We have to do this ourselves."
"No, no we do NOT have to do this ourselves!" Jack retorted, "And I don't care how much notoriety you can get from being the news hound who talks to the camera on the six-o-clock news, or how many gang member skulls you can potentially bash in with a bloody fucking toaster for all I care! Doing this would be fucking suicide!"
"You're afraid, aren't you?" Mikey half-asked half-taunted.
"If by afraid you mean competent, then yes!" Jack snapped.
"Uhh, that's totally not what I meant by afraid," Mikey replied, "Also, ha! You just admitted to being afraid!"
"I WILL FUCKING CUT YOUR LEFT ARM OFF WITH A FUCKING SWORD, THEN FOLLOW THAT UP BY CUTTING OFF YOUR FUCKING HEAD!" Jack exclaimed angrily at the nunchaku wielding ninja turtle.
"I must ask that you do no such thing to any of my sons," an older male voice called out, getting the guys to all turn and see a humanoid rat walk up. He was a gray-colored humanoid rodent wearing a brown long-sleeved gi that reached halfway down his legs. Additionally, he was also holding onto a walking stick.
"Master Splinter!" the four turtles all exclaimed as they ran up to greet the humanoid rat.
Nodding in acknowledgement to the turtle brothers, Splinter said, "Michelangelo, there is no reason to taunt the foul-mouthed blonde-haired fellow. His words of exercising caution are most wise, my son."
"At least you agree with me," Jack said to Splinter as he gestured to the humanoid rat.
"However, there is a fine line between caution and fear," Splinter replied to Jack, "And you must be wary of blurring that line. Fear lead to anger. Anger lead to hate."
"Yes," Jack nodded as he just wanted to get things over with, "But you see-"
"Hate lead to drive-by," Splinter continued. (7)
"Hoo boy, don't I know that," Crow remarked with a nod.
"So anywho, are we going to go knock a few purple dragon skulls around or what?" Casey asked.
Sighing, Splinter said, "Normally, I would advise against seeking out conflict. But these purple dragon fellows, from what I've been hearing, are a grave threat to those who cannot protect themselves, and there is no sign that these purple dragon fellows will stop on their own." Pointing his walking stick at everyone else, Splinter continued, "They must be defeated, but do not forget to exercise caution. Also, do not try to hurt them. …Unless that is your intention. In which case, hurt them a lot." (8)
"You can count on us, Master Splinter!" Mikey said as he and his brothers saluted their master.
"You got it, Chief Ratman!" Crow said as he himself saluted the humanoid rat.
Leaning to his side so that he could whisper to Yusei, Jack said, "Why do we allow stuff like this to happen again?"
Shrugging, Yusei replied, "At least it keeps us occupied."
Later, Yusei, the guys, Carly, April, Casey and the turtle brothers were all outside of an abandoned warehouse. "Okay, now before we all go in, is anyone here not an active combatant?" Jack asked. After a few seconds, Carly and April both raised their hands, albeit tentatively. "Okay," Jack replied, "I'll call Carly on her cell phone when it's safe, but before that, I want the two of you to hide someplace right now."
As the girls nodded before they proceeded to hide in a short alleyway between two buildings that were nearby, Jack said to the guys, "Here's the plan," Jack said as he took off a backpack he was wearing, "Thanks to the turtle man with the purple mask, we've got a few of these special smoke grenades. We activate them, toss them into the gang hide-out, and then the turtle boys will move in and take out any gang members that don't run out in confusion."
"What about the ones that do run out in confusion, mister tea and crumpets?" Casey asked as he shot Jack a skeptical look.
"It's shrimp on the barbie and Foster's, stupid boy," Jack corrected as he snapped at Casey, "And I will take a digeridoo and shove right up your down under if you insinuate that I'm from England one more time. But that's beside the point." To the group as a whole, Jack continued, "Birdbrain did something smart for a change by blocking off all but one exit on this place." Gesturing to the door in front of them, Jack said, "This door is the only way for those gangsters to get out of their hide-out. Me, Yusei, Birdbrain, Kalin and Brooklyn Rage here will stand here to knock out any gang members who run through that door."
"Oi, did you just mock my accent?" Casey asked, shooting an offended expression at the blonde turbo duelist.
"His plan makes a lot of sense, Casey," Raph said, "And hey man, he's only pissing on your boots because you're pissing on his."
"…Fine," Casey replied as he drew his pair of baseball bats out of the bag over his back, "The moment I see a purple dragon run out, it's time to play ball."
"You guys understand your roll?" Yusei asked when he turned to face the turtle brothers.
"You got it," Don replied as he gave Yusei a thumbs-up before he and his brothers proceeded to take their positions, with a few smoke grenades in hand each. The five humans waited on edge as the turtles threw activated smoke grenades into the warehouse, allowing the place to fill with smoke as much as possible. Soon, the guys all heard panicked shouts and failed attempts to get out of the warehouse because all but one of the exits were blocked.
As for the one exit that wasn't blocked, a few purple dragon gang members came running out, coughing due to the smoke. As these gang members filed out, Yusei and the others proceeded to whip their gang member asses. "Swing, batter, batter, swing!" Casey cried out in obviously enjoyment as he whacked a gang member in the back with one of his bats.
After Yusei knocked out the latest purple dragon to come running out of the warehouse, the guys heard Mikey call out, "It's okay now! We've knocked out all of the gang members that were still in the warehouse!" Yusei and the other guys relaxed as the turtle brothers came walking out of the warehouse. "We are the champions, my friends!" Mikey cheered in obvious amusement.
"Hey, I bet you liked that reference," Casey said as he turned to face Jack. Jack scowled at the bat-wielding vigilante, but before he could act, the side of the warehouse they were all standing near burst open. To the shock of the humans and the turtles, a giant machine that looked to be a combination of construction equipment and mech suit came stumbling out.
"Some lab dudes who work in a lab were using this warehouse," said the purple dragon gang member, who is surprisingly a girl of somewhat short stature, piloting the machine, "So they left a few things behind when the boys and I moved in.
"I thought you guys said you knocked out all of the gang members inside of the warehouse," Yusei said when he turned to face the turtles.
"We must not have seen her because she's so short," Leo remarked.
"That's still no excuse to-" Yusei began to snap, but he was cut off when the girl piloting the machine turned around, used the machine to pick up a nearby car, and fling the car at the guys. The car flew at Yusei and crashed on top of him, crushing him to death. (9)
"Oh shit!" Jack exclaimed, "Yusei's dead! The bloody fuck are we going to tell Akiza?!"
"To chill her tits until next week?" Crow offered in a mildly confused tone.
"I will not stand for anyone mocking my height!" the girl gang member piloting the machine exclaimed in anger, "I'm sick and fucking tired of-" The girl was cut off when a light blue and white swirling portal appeared along the side of where the fighting was taking place. Stepping out of the portal was a humanoid rabbit who was roughly the same height as the turtle brothers. Mostly white in color, the humanoid rabbit wore a long-sleeved blue men's kimono top, a black hakama, and a pair of white tabi socks inside a pair of zori sandals. The humanoid rabbit also wore his long ears in a topknot style. Finally, he carried a pair of swords; one a katana and the other a wakizashi.
The remaining guys watched as this humanoid rabbit stepped out of the portal. "…Who the bloody hell is that?" Jack asked aloud to no one in particular.
"It's Jesus," Crow replied. Leaping up, the humanoid rabbit slashed at the top of the giant machine, causing it to break down entirely, complete with falling apart and the girl who was piloting it flying out as if riding an ejected seat. Luckily, the girl landed on a pile of garbage bags. The humanoid rabbit turned to face the guys. To Leonardo in particular, the rabbit shot him a thumbs-up and a smile before jumping back into the portal from which he came. The portal then faded away, as if it was never there in the first place.
"…Well wasn't that convenient," Kalin remarked in a bemused tone.
"Hey man, let's go tie up that girl who was piloting the mech," Casey said to Kalin, getting the white-haired turbo duelist to follow him.
Looking around the scene, at the knocked-out gang members, the destroyed machine, and the car that landed on and crushed Yusei to death, Jack sighed in a resigned tone as he pulled out a cell phone. "I better call Carly to give her and her friend the okay to come on out now, now that a sword-wielding samurai rabbit destroyed a giant machine."
"Praise Jesus!" Crow exclaimed as he threw both of his hands into the air.
Back at the sewer lair where the turtles and Splinter lived, the remaining guys were talking with the turtles, Splinter, Carly and April. "I am most sorry about your loss, my friends," Splinter said to Jack, Crow and Kalin, "I cannot imagine the pain you three must feel."
"Meh," Crow said with a shrug, "It won't last too long." (10)
"Hey, I got a question," April began, "Where's Casey?"
"Over here, April," Casey's voice called out, getting everyone to turn to face the direction Casey's voice came from. When they did, they saw that he was laying front-side down on a table, his head turned so that he could face everyone else. There was a digeridoo shoved firmly up the Brooklyn native's ass.
"W…why is there a digeridoo shoved firmly into your rear end, Casey?" Splinter asked, more confused than anything else.
"Mister pip-pip cheerio over there shoved it up my ass because he can't take a joke," Casey replied in a mildly annoyed tone as he pointed to Jack.
"You want me to shove it up even further, you bloody dolt?!" Jack snapped.
"Casey, Casey, Casey," Raph said in a mildly disappointed tone as he gently shook his head, "What did I say about pissing on the blonde guy's boots?"
"Hey Casey," Mikey said, "You think you can play some music like that?"
"I can certainly give it a go," Casey replied as he tried to make himself fart on command. When he did fart, the force of it coming out of the digeridoo actually succeeded in playing a note, making everyone other than the girls, Splinter and Jack laugh to at least some degree. "Hey, I can become the next big music star like this!" Casey said in a tone of surprised amusement.
Seeing that the turtles were still finding amusement with Casey's farts playing a digeridoo, Jack sighed as he shook his head. "…Teenagers," Jack muttered to himself, too quietly for anyone else to hear.
END, CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Author's Notes:
(1) Jack is being something of a hypocrite here, if you think about it.
(2) Which would be difficult considering that the wonder twins go to a school that teaches how to play Duel Monsters.
(3) He's not sure what exactly will happen, all Kalin knows is that something will happen.
(4) …Because, you know, Jack's got those padawan braid-like thingies in his hair and…oh, never mind.
(5) Poor choice of words there, Raph.
(6) The worst that the guys have to deal with here are purple dragon thugs. No need to drag members of Batman's rouges gallery into things here.
(7) When he gets really into giving out sage advice, Splinter starts talking like Yoda.
(8) Not exactly the quote, but close enough.
(9) Yusei has a rule concerning his Volkswagen van; Crow's not allowed to drive it.
(10) He got a point there.
This is probably my shortest chapter yet, which, if you think about it, makes up for some earlier chapters that had a tendency to drag on. Anywho, the next chapter will see the birth of Yusei and Akiza's child; I had originally planned on making it happen in this chapter with the guys visiting a different show, but I had to juggle around a few things for a few reasons; one, Yusei died at the end of the previous block and I did not want that to happen in this block, two, I did not want Yusei to die in the chapter where his child is born, and C, the next chapter is chapter sixteen, and I have the perfect show for Yusei and the guys to visit lined up for the sixteenth chapter.
Basically, Yusei and the guys go over to a giant mall located in Canada so they can make the good times last.
