New Domino City... a place of dueling with speed called Turbo Duels are known more for their tournaments with every competitors around the world
Back then New Domino City was divided into 2 sides; the city itself and a distant land of it called the Satellite...
For years these seperate lands were at odds to each other, that is until... the chosen wielders of the Crimson Dragon are found known as signers fought the evils in their home
Dark signers who unleashed Zero Reverse:
Roman Goodwin, the founder of the Dark signers
Rex Goodwin, the last Dark signer, the temporary bearer of light and dark marks
Time travel duelists from a catastrophic future:
Aporia, the bearer of despair, who was tasked to destroy New Domino City of Synchro monsters before the sisastrous future is made by the Synchro power of Duel Monsters
Paradox, the Malefic user of dueling, with the intention of erasing Duel Monsters from history
And Z-one, the mastermind, who intended to erase New Domino City with his life of despair from destroyed future
But those were foiled by a hero, chosen by the Crimson Dragon, residing in said city... Yusei Fudo
The man was looked up to by the residents of NDC
Yusei was someone who people look look up to and the man continued to help his home with the citizens living inside it
However... not everything can stay after having peace in the NDC
People started to divide themseslves again, like what happened after Zero Reverse, those who wished to be above rest and those who wanted to stay united
The mayor of New Domino City tried his hardest to keep the peace along with the help of Mina Simington and Tetsu Trudge. But the arguments had overpowered them leading the mayor to make a compromise
The New Domino City was once again composed of two areas
Tops: a special part of NDC for the rich and famous with public tourist spots for foreigners on visits
Commons: a more public and normal version of New Domino City for those who prefer a peaceful/humble abode in New Dmino City
But alas, this compromise can be twisted to the desires of the egoistic Topsiders to boast their wealth and privelages in the face of the Commons below
So a unique governing system is made to keep the cuty stable
The council was formed to watch and report to Lazar in a city meeting with the Topsiders
Lazar, on the other hand, stayed in Commons since he was able to learn what it means to care for others after after what happened years ago
Not to mention with this government new system required additional set of security
In simpler terms the police force was divided into 3 groups
Tops guards: security watching the Tops council for Topsiders control
Duel Chasers: Tops police force to keep watch in case the Commons of New Domino City enter the Tops area without paperwork approval (I.E. using the Duel Runners)
And finally Local Common Police: the Commons police force under the guidance of Mina Simington and Tetsu Trudge to keep the peace with the public in their side of the area
Time and time again conflict was created between the 2 sides of the NDC but thankfully it created a somewhat stable atmosphere
And thus New Dmino City was once again peaceful
Little did the inhabitants know that there is someone from the inside that wants to overthrow the stable structure and cause a civil war...
(But enough of the boring stuff let's get to the perspective of the today)
It was night time and Yusei Fudo, hero and savior of NDC, now retired duelist then head scientist of said city. Watched from the window as he finished his paperwork at checking his program of the Ener-D system called Fortune in Japan and then worldwide
'Everything stayed stable' he thought back on the duel he had against Z-one
After saving NDC from Z-one's catastrophic prediction in the duel. Yusei had one final duel with his childhod friend and rival Jack Atlas so his friends can go on with their own lives for the future
And each of them were able to do so
Jack Atlas became world champion in soloTurbo Duels gaining the title King from the public watching him duel
Akiza Izinski retired her dueling career and became a doctor
Leo became pro turbo duelist like he dreamed when he was younger
Luna turned independent without needing much help from her twin brother and became outgoing as well
Crow Hogan traveled around the world for a few years participating in team Turbo Duels a few times before coming back to New Dmino City and joined Tetsu's police force, as a special and secret elite, to watch out for trouble
'Not to mention tonight is the night for team 5d's reunion...' Yusei went to the garage and his Duel Runner was there 'Yusei Go' he smiled 'I'm glad that I kept you in good shape'
He got on his bike and rode off the Tops streets heading to the city below
At Commons the citizens of that were walking around heading home to meet frinds and/or family after work
Inside the city hall Lazar, the mayor of Commons, finished his stack of paper contracts in the city
"Whew" he wiped his forehead "finally done with work today"
Just then the doors slammed open causing the little man to jump in surprise sending his papers flying
"Mayor Lazar!" Mina and Tetsu shouted at the same time but blinked at seeing the man on the floor with papers scattered around
"Uh..."
"I was just resting after I finished signing the papers" Lazar sighed as he started to pick up the mess "and you two suddenly barged in unannounced"
"Sorry for that" Mina apologized "but do you know what today is?"
"With the workload I've done today" the mayor continued to pickk the papers "please remind me"
"Today's the day Team 5d's will visit each other" Tetsu answered
Lazar stopped and widened his eyes at realizing how he forgot that today was the day the hero of New Domino City will be with his companion"
"Oh dear!" Lazar grabbed his head scattaring the papers he picked up "Yusei Fudo will be waiting for me!" he then looked around "I haven't had the time to look good or have a gift ready for today!"
"Now mayor" Mina called as she started helping with the scattered papers "there's still time to get ready, so let's get this place cleaned up soon"
"Right" Lazar nodded "officer Tetsu help us so we can prepare to meet the group"
"Yes sir!"
And all three of them started to clean the mess
At the airport of New Domino City a pair of people were arriving after their flight here
And they were none other than the twins Leo and Luna
"Man it's great to be back here" the pro Turbo Duelist stretched his arms like he just woke up from a nap
"Yeah" Luna followed "It will be wonder to see our friends again"
"You got that right!" Leo smiled but blinked upon seeing a certain someone entering from another flight gate "hey isn't that?"
"It is!" Luna smiled before running towrd the recent arrival "c'mon Leo! Let's go see her!"
"Hey wait up!"
Akiza smiled feeling the atmosphere of NDC again 'it's nice to be here again...'
Her thoughts stopped upon hearing a voice
"Akiza!"
She turned to the voice and was wraped in a hug, catching her by surprise, thankfully she stayed upright and not fall onto her back
"Hi Luna" the doctor smiled as she wrapped her arms around the girl "it's nice to see you"
"Luna!" Leo came in to the scene "hi Akiza"
"I see the the years have done you both some good"
"You got that right" the pro Turbo Duelist smiled "if saw me on the screen then you know I'm well"
"And I don't have to worry about being fragile" Luna followed "I'm not so going to Leo for help anymore"
"Alright" Akiza smiled "Let's not waste time here" she then walked ahead "we're here to visit our friends"
"Oh right!" the twins blinked before they followed her
While the 3 of them went out of the building another pair walked out of the plane. Both of them appear to be from the Europian continent
"My lady" the man spoke with a small smile "I'm guessing that you wish to see him?"
"Yes my friend" the woman smiled warmly "I would like to meet the man who saved the worlds and changed the future" she then pulled out a small device 'and this little will help me find him easier'
Once outside Akiza and Leo found their Duel Runners ready and waiting to be used. All three of them got on, wore their helmets and went to their destination
Yusei arrived in the Commons part of NDC and people waved to their hero, with the man smiling back at them, he walked with his runner to the open square and waited for the rest to arrive
'I wonder if anyone else besides us will be here?'
He looked at hearing engines get close and saw a familiar Duel Runner coming towrd him
The vehicle stopped and the person removed his helmet with a smile plastered on his lips
"Hey Yusei" Crow spoke
"Hey Crow" the scientist smiled at seeing his friend "it's been a while since we met out of work"
"You're telling me" the Blackwing duelist crossed his arms "after your final duel with Jack, it's almost like we have no free time anymore"
"That's what happens when thinking of the future" Yusei responded
Just then a set of Duel Runners came in before the duo revealing to be; Akiza, Leo, Luna and Tetsu Trudge
"Crow! Yusei!" they greeted the two
"Hi guys" Crow waved back "glad that you came in"
"So are we!" Leo grinned "I'm real excited to see the team together again"
"Let's just hope that the king himself arrives" Tetsu scratched his head
"Is Jack going to his old self again?" Akiza and Luna blinked
"Not in the slightest" Yusei answed the question "after the big duel with me, Jack became quite the celebrity and is being swarmed by the press"
"Making the man struggle a bit from his return as king" Crow concluded
Just then a truck and limbo entered the area catching everyone by surprise
"What's going on?" Crow and Leo blinked
"It's the mayor and Mina" Tetsu replied "considering that you invited him to this reunion, he wanted to give you guys a gift today and had Mina Simmington decided to be his aide"
"That' nice of him" Luna smiled
"And with Mina's help, I'm sure some of the LCP are here to set up the place" Akiza followed
Soon enough the woman in charge came out opening the back door revealing some of the local police to help set up the party
Meanwhile in the limbo, Lazar watched from the window as Mina and her workforce set up the establishment of tonight and smiled
"It's a good thing I was able to get you ready tonight" the mayor of Commons spoke "or else I would be stuck on finding the right gift tonight and miss this" he then went to the window dividing the chauffer and the other passengers at the front "I hope you are also excited to this party"
The window rolled down revealing that the chauffer was his wife and his son was the passenger next to her
"You bet we are pops!" the little boy grinned
"Better get out there and give your surprise to the team dear"
Back outside team 5d's watched as the LCP finished setting up the place with lantern lighting, some tables and chairs and they smiled as the group pulled out a grill, some noodle cups along with a kettle of hot water
Before long Lazar came out with a smile gatting the the attention of team 5d's
"Mayor/Lazar!" everyone shouted at seeing the man
"It's good that everyone's here" he went to the door of his vehicle "cause I got a surprise"
He opened it and the last member of the team revealed himself
Jack Atlas, the World King of Turbo Duels, standing proudly as he always was
"Jack!" most of the team went to the man happy to see him not surrounded by the paparazzi
Yusei went to the mayor of Commons to have a private conversation
"You pulled some strings to have Jack be part of the reunion huh?" the scientist questioned
"It wasn't easy" Lazar shook his head "with the press wanting him around, but luckily some of the Top council agreed to my words and let Jack get some space after being the top duelist again"
"Come and get it!" Mina called as she and LCP placed the cooked food on the table
The group was settling in enjoying the hot food and warm noodles right now, relaxing and enjoying the quiet atmosphere in Commons
"Ah this is the life" Jack sighed after finihing his noodle cup
"What's wrong Jack?" Crow teased "the Tops life not good for you?"
"Now don't start any arguements" Akiza stepped in "we're here to enjoy the reunion"
"Yes ma'am"
"Man Akiza sure has changed after being with us" Leo humed after biting his food
"She has changed for the better" Luna followed
Suddenly everyone was interrupted upon hearing Duel Runners coming in
"Uh..." Crow blinked "did we forget someone in tonight's reunion?"
"Nope" Tetsu shook his head "I checked the list, this is everyone"
"I know who's coming" Yusei spoke
"You do?" some blinked in surprise
The Duel Runners stopped in front of the group. The LCP was about to take action but Yusei stopped them as he walked toward the pair
"Welcome to the reunion Sherry and Elsworth"
The duo got off their vehicles, removed ther helmets and smiled at Yusei
"Bon soir Yusei" Sherry greeted
"Good evening" Elseworth bowed
"Yusei!" Crow and Jack pulled their friend back to the group "did you invite them personally?!"
"I did" the scientist nodded
He was then pushed down to the chair as they, while the pair helped themselves on the food, stared at Yusei with scrutiny "...explain"
"It was a few months after I created Fortune" he started "I was travelling the world helping other scientists install it for the Ener-D to be used without having consequence" he then scratched his head "I met them during my travel in France and personally invited them to the reunion in the futre"
"The man's not wrong" Sherry called before tossing something to the air making Crow cathc it "and the thing you held is a little reminder for that invitation"
The Blackwing Duelist blinked in curiosity and pressed the device to see a holographic picture of Yusei, Elsworth and Sherry smiling happily together with a team 5d's poster, crew included, as the background and the words; my new family written on it
"Wow Yusei" Crow said in surprise "what got you to have this as her reminder"
"Back when Iliaster was in control" some grimaced at recalling said group "Sherry Leblanc told me about her past involving them leading her life with Elsworth to vengeance" Yusei answered "so I made something to remind her to create her future"
"Oui" Sherry nodded "after my defeat with Jack Atlas I decided to become a teacher" she said surprising Leo and Luna "what better way to carve a future than to teach the next generation"
"Miss Sherry is doing a wonderful job in her teaching career" Elsworth spoke next "not only was I able to see my lady smiling again, she even let me be her assistant in her lessons"
"Looks like you have it set" Akiza hummed "and you don't have anymore trouble coming at you"
"And it's all thanks to you guys"
Just then a screech of wheels and explosions had everyone jump a bit before they looked up
A Turbo Duel was happening
"Now what got this to happen?" Leo, Crow and Tetsu questioned
"Must be another Common citizen too curious again" Mina sighed "why is that always the reason?"
"Can you blame them for that?" Crow crossed his arms "a place filled with wonder... and you have to do boring paperwork to enter that place"
"Better check the MC channel for this" Lazar went to his limbo and turn to the LCP "I need help setting up the screen
"Yes sir!" the officers went to help the mayor
"I hope it's not someone I know" Crow scratched his hair in worry
"You were an escort to some of those moments" Leo asked
"Only a few" the Blackwing duelist replied "I'm mostly doing patrols in my work"
"We are now at the peak of today's Turbo Duel" Melissa Claire spoke before looking down "and it looks like that officer 227 is about to finish this"
The camera went to the duel lane and saw that the duel chaser got Hi-Speedroid Chanbara and Goyo Predator while Yugo had none
Officer 227 LP: 2200
Goyo Predator (Lvl:6 ATK:2200)
Hi-Speedroid Chanbara (Lvl:5 ATK:2400)
Yugo LP: 500
Inside the Tops security station Jean-Michel Roget, the head of the facility, watched the nearing it's end "looks like 227 is about to reach his checkmate" he then remembered the facedown card Yugo placed at the start of the duel and his eyes widen before reaching for the comms "227 stop your attack! I repeat, stop your attack!"
But it was too late... the officer ignored the man's words "this is the end you tresspasser" the Duel Chaser smiled "now I attack you directly with Hi-Speedroid Chanbara!"
"Just what I'd like to hear!" Yugo grinned "I reveal my facedown Dice Roll Battle!" the facedown card flipped face up "if my lifepoints is 1000 or less, I can send one Dice monster in my hand to the graveyard. After that I can Synchro summon a monster from my extra deck by banishing the materials"
He then called out "I now tune my level 1 Red-Eyed Dice with level 6 Hi-Speedroid Kendama!"
1+6=7
"Dragon of wind, let your power cut open the path to victory!" Yugo chanted "Synchro summon! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon"
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (Lvl:7 ATK:2500)
"And thanks to my trap card" he smiled "all monsters in ATK mode must attack each other" he then continued "let's not forget that Chanbra gains 100 ATK when it attacks" he then pointed to his Synchro monster "however should a level 5 or higher activate their effect, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon can negate that and destroy the monster"
The Synchro dragon's wings light up
"Dichroic mirror!" the Synchro monster destroyed Chanbara "additionally the destroyed monsters ATK point will be added to my dragon"
Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (ATK: 2500-4600)
"I...I forgot about that facedown card at the start of this duel" the duel Chaser muttered at his incoming defeat
"And now it's coming back at you!" Yugo raised his arm "BATTORUGA! Attack 227's monster Synchro Dragon!"
The Synchro monster flew up into the night sky before spinning with wind covering itself
"Whirlwind cutter!"
The Synchro dragon attacked Goyo Predator creating the explosion sending the Duel Chaser back at his defeat
Officer 227 LP: 2200-0
Yugo LP: WIN
"And that concludes today's duel" Melissa Claire spoke to the camera "the Common citizen has earned his right to roam Tops with a LCP escort
The Turbo Duel is over... Yuzu sighed in relief after feeling such intensity from doing a duel while driving simultaneously
"I'm glad that's over" she patted her heart "after what happened now, I think another duel like that will give me a heart attack"
"Don't worry about that" Yugo smiled "remember our talk after we got here?"
"Oh right" she realized "after a Common citizen beats the Duel Chaser for approval, we stop by a location where the Local Police will escort us around"
"Right"
Inside the Tops security station Roget sighed at 227's incompetence 'this is what happens when you thought of victory first..' he then looked at Yugo and Yuzu's picture on the screen "no matter, there's time to find out about their sudden arrival in this part of the city" he clasped his hands together 'so enjoy the moment while you can you two...because I want to find out how you got past the border gates'
Back at Commons team 5ds, Lazar, the LCP, Sherry and Elsworth were giving their input on the duel they saw
"That's quite a surprising duel" Tetsu and Mina spoke
"Yeah" Crow followed "I didn't think Yugo would risk doing that"
"Maybe he was too eager to have Turbo Duel" Akiza, Luna and Leo suggested
"That's Possible" Lazar hummed "after all the Friendship Cup is nearby, who could resist the chance to fight New Domino City's King of Turbo Duels?"
"Looks like there's a challenger who's wish is to face you Jack" Yusei smiled
Jack Atlas returned that smile with his own "I hope for that kid's sake is that he can show his strength" hecrossed his arms "because it's insulting to the king if the challenge doesn't give his all..."
'Like always Jack Atlas...' Sherry and Elsworth shook their heads with smiles on their lips 'you're the type of guy who sees strength as the sole factor in a duel'
"Well" Crow grabbed another plate "let's get back to our reunion and finish up the party here"
"Sounds like a plan"
And everyone continued with the feast for the night
Author's notes:
Okay another chapter done. Sorry for the shortness of this but after checking the series again I decided to alter some things in it
Like Jean-Michel Roget playing the waiting game, Crow becoming part of the Commons police force instead of Vigilante and so on
Not to mention that the execution after the tournament in standard dimension ended up becoming sloppy
Examples are:
Shinji Weber, a duelist staging rebellion for the Commons to fight against the luxurious Tops citizens without a care in the world, went from a revolutionary being to a supporter of peace
Shingo Sawatari, a selfish jerk, who always lost ended up becoming part of the Lancers despite having an ego the size of a skyscraper
Jean-Michel Roget, an egomaniac, ended up lost in the dimensional gap without having to be punished by Leo Akaba's loyal soldiers for his traitorous deed
Not to mention that the Arc-V series was known for an anniversary show. The problem was that it put too much referencing to the past YGO original and spin-off series while at the same time focused too much on Pendulum monsters that the cards have become ridiculous due to their effects with the Pendulum method (even with the use of Action cards the duelists are too focused with deck they carried easily forgetting the Action cards around them)
Making the Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V an either love it or ,more likely, hate it segment in the franchise overall
The english version tried to make it more believable compared to the original Japanese format but are still stuck with that due to the show being translated from the given formula
So I'll try to remedy that with my own work and I hope this story will be good until it reached the end
The question for next chapter is... who is meeting who?
And please make a review...I can't improve the story if you just keep hating the Arc-V series so easily
Thank you. Author out...
