Chapter 4: Escape! Red Ace Magician on Stage!


It was nearing the end of the month and Yusei was finishing up preparations for leaving Satellite to get back his prized card from his former friend.

"Yusei, is tonight the night?" Bulucomon asked the crab-haired teen as he approached.

"Yep. Tonight is when we leave." Yusei said, doing a final tune-up on his D-Wheel, which his friends have decided to call the Yusei-Go.

The ice dragon Digimon hummed. "I understand why you want to go to Neo Domino City but what about Leo?" He asked.

"Leo? I'm sure he has his own reasons. Maybe he wants to get out of Satellite and get an opportunity for a better life." Yusei explained.

"So when you get your card back from Jack, are you coming back?" Bulucomon questioned.

"Of course. Satellite might not seem like much but it's my home."

"Well, whatever you decide to do, Yusei, I'll always have your back." His Digimon partner chirped with a big grin.

Yusei gave the ice dragon a small grin in return. "Thanks, Bulucomon."

"No problem, Yusei!" Bulucomon grinned.


"Okay, add this card for my Riding Duel Deck then I'll add these two for my regular Deck." Leo said with a grin back at his apartment. Stacked neatly on the worn desk he used were his Duel Monster cards that contained his Royal Straight archetype monsters along with his Synchro Monsters, one of which being his Royal Flush Dragon.

"Hey, Leo, are we really leaving Satellite tonight?" Herissmon asked his human partner from his place on Leo's bed.

"That's right, little buddy. You, me, Yusei, and Bulucomon are escaping tonight. If all goes well, Yusei will find Jack and I'll…" The ponytail teen paused. "Huh, why am I leaving?"

"You don't know?" The hedgehog Digimon pondered in confusion.

"I never really thought much of it. I only went along because Yusei wanted to get back his stolen card from Jack. Maybe I wanna go there to punch him?" Leo rubbed his chin in contemplation before shrugging. "Eh, I'll figure it out later on."

Herissmon grinned, "Does Neo Domino City have food?"

"Lots of food. Food that people here in Satellite would never be able to see." Leo said with an amused grin. "If my luck holds up, we might score ourselves some pretty decent meals too."

"You always did say that Lady Luck favored you, Leo."

"Herissmon, my little spiky friend, I'm Fortune's Favored. When it comes to adventure or Duels, I always come out on top. Though, not for lack of a struggle. Can't have everything come easy to me."

"Like your D-Wheel?"

"Especially my D-Wheel." Leo said with a chuckle before he brought up one of his Synchro Monsters, or rather, a specific Synchro Monster. "And my partner here is perfect for my D-Wheel."

The card he's had as far back as he could remember: Royal Flush Dragon.


Night had come faster than one could blink as the moon rose high in the sky, illuminating the Satellite in its pale glow.

Yusei was driving on his D-Wheel towards the Pipeline with Bulucomon sitting behind him. His eyes set on getting to Neo Domino City, despite the lack of an appearance from Leo and Herissmon. He could only hope that his friend would make it on time or else, he'll have to wait for another month.

*VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

Yusei's ears picked up the sound of a D-Wheel? Was it Security? Did they already track him down? He still hadn't made it to the sewage plant yet. He slightly turned his head to look behind and to his surprise, he saw the Lucky Streak approaching and was catching up to him before they were side by side, with Leo and Herissmon riding the D-Wheel.

"About time you two got here." Yusei comments with a small grin.

"What can I say? I like to make an entrance." Leo replied with a jest.

"Are you ready to leave?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."

Herissmon chirped in, "Yeah, prison break!" The hedgehog Digimon raised up his paws in excitement.

"Why are you excited about that?" Bulucomon sweatdropped.

"Why not? I mean, no disrespect, but this place is kinda lackluster. And besides, I bet this Neo Domino City has better food!"

"So that's why you're excited…" Bulucomon deadpanned.

"Food is a good motivator." Yusei remarked.

Leo nodded, "That it is."

"Though how are we gonna get to the city and not look suspicious, considering that… well, we're here." Bulucomon said, gesturing to himself and Herissmon.

"Can't you just stay in the Digivices?" Leo pondered.

"We could but we like being out and about." Herissmon pointed out.

"Could always pretend you two are robots. I heard Neo Domino City makes toys like that." Yusei commented.

"Nah, Guardromon could pull that off easily." Bulucomon waved off.

"Guardromon is a giant robot." Leo said with a dry expression.

"Still a robot."

Yusei sighed, "Look, let's focus on leaving this place first."

"Right," Leo nodded before the both of them took off.


"Sir, I have movement!" One of the officer's reported. "A D-Wheel has gone topside!"

"Make that two. Another D-Wheel signal popped up alongside the first." Another officer reported.

"What's the location?" The CO inquired with a glare.

"They're heading for the sewage plant, sir!"

"Where is Officer Ushio?"

"I'm contacting him now." The officer said, as he typed on the keyboard. "Officer Ushio, this is Satellite Central HQ, we picked up a D-Wheel that's headed straight for the sewage plant! Pursue and capture them!"

["Roger, I'm pursuing the suspect now!"] Ushio replied over the radio.

"You better not fail, Officer. Especially not with the new Pursuit Deck we've given you." The CO said with a frown. "Remember, you are a member of Security before a Duelist. Don't ever forget that."

["Yes sir!"]

"Get me NDC HQ, I need to know what Duel Chasers they have out on patrol."


"Yusei, how long are we on time?" Leo asked as the two were still en route to The Pipeline.

"Five minutes. We need to kick it into overdrive." Yusei answered.

"You want overdrive? You got it!" Leo grinned as he revved the engine and his D-Wheel gained a boost in speed, going ahead of Yusei. The crab-haired man was surprised at how fast it was going. "Eat my dust, Yusei!" He shouted.

"I forgot how immature he can be." Bulucomon commented.

"That's Leo for you." Yusei said with a hint of amusement. Regardless, he smirked at the challenge and revved his D-Wheel as he took off after Leo. But just as he was about to catch up, someone suddenly pushed him from the side. Yusei was caught off guard as he saw a Security Officer that just crashed into him. But it wasn't just any Security Officer.

"Ushio?" Yusei gasped.

"So, we meet again, punk." Ushio said with a smirk. "This isn't somewhere a punk like you belongs!"

"Sorry, but I don't have time to deal with you." Yusei said.

"Besides, didn't you learn your lesson, the last time you got your butt kicked?" Bulocomon asked.

"Gahhh! You're that giant mutant lizard!" Ushio gawked.

"Hi~!" The ice dragon waved mockingly at the Security officer.

"R-Regardless, get lost, you punks! Did you forget about your curfew?!"

"Ah, stuff your curfew." Bulucomon replied, sticking his tongue out at the man. "Besides, we go where the food's at!"

"The hell are you talking about?"

"Nothin'! Hit it, Yusei!"

"With pleasure."

*VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

"Hey!" Ushio exclaimed, watching Yusei take off in a burst of speed before he quickly followed after the teen and the Digimon. "You punk… You're not getting away!" Ushio shouted, as he pursued him. The two D-Wheels continued racing across the road, with Yusei trying to outrun him while Ushio was still in hot pursuit.

Leo, who had shot ahead on the Lucky Streak, looked back to see Yusei being pursued by Security. "Oi, Yusei, you know you have a cop on your tail, right?"

"Yep." Yusei said.

"So are we Ride Dueling him?"

"One of us is." Yusei said. "I'll take him on. You go on ahead."

"Are you sure, Yusei?" Leo asked.

"Don't worry, I've beaten him before. I have no plans on losing." The crab-haired teen answered.

"Well, if you're sure. You better make it to the city, man." The ponytailed boy said before he revved the engine and went faster than ever, crashing through the flimsy gate and then maneuvering himself to jump the steel gate and into the sewage plant itself.

"There's no way I'm letting you and your friend escape, Yusei! Not while I'm around!" Ushio shouted from behind Yusei's D-Wheel.

"If you wanna get to him, you've gotta go through me, Ushio." He told the Public Security officer.

"That's fine by me!" Ushio said. "HQ, open up the security gate at the sewage plant and make it quick!" Ushio ordered, and within seconds the steel gate opened up as Yusei and Ushio raced in and were now in the sewage plant itself too. Ushio then pressed the button on his screen. "Field Spell! Speed World! Set On!"

DUEL MODE. AUTO-PILOT ON. STANDBY.

As the computer announced those words, both screens showed a reverse card of a Duel Monsters card, before flipping over, revealing the Field Spell, Speed World before both screens showed the Duel Fields. Then an aura shot out of both D-Wheels, their surroundings having a negative filming effect, locking both D-Wheelers into the Riding Duel. Both Duelists then drew their starting Hand.

"RIDING DUEL! ACCELERATION!"


Yusei: 4000/SPC: 0

Ushio: 4000/SPC: 0

"O-re no ta-n!" Ushio declared, drawing his sixth card. He smirked at what he got. This was the perfect chance to finally put Yusei in his place. And once he put him away, Leo was next. "Hope you're ready to face my Special Pursuit Deck, because you're not going anywhere. I summon Gate Blocker in DEF mode!"

Appearing on Ushio's side was a giant slab of living stone that was black and gold with an eyeball at the center. Since it was in DEF Mode, it turned dark blue… before suddenly hovering in front of Yusei's D-Wheel, almost as if it was keeping him back. (4/ATK: 100/DEF: 2000)

"What are you up to this time?" Yusei frowned in suspicion.

"You'll see soon enough. I'll place one card face-down. Ta-n endo." Ushio grinned, placing a reverse card on the Field.

"O-re no ta-n!" Yusei said, drawing his sixth card. However, when he took a look at his HUD, he noticed something was off.

Yusei's SPC: 0

Ushio's SPC: 1

"My Speed Counters…" Yusei gasped.

"What's wrong? You sound so surprised." Ushio sneered. "And you should be. Because with Gate Blocker on my Field, you won't be getting any Speed Counters."

Yusei cursed under his breath. A Monster with an ability like that would take down any Riding Duelist if they weren't careful. He'll just have to make due with what he has and find a way to win this Duel. "Even so… I won't let this stand in my way!" He declared. He then looked to his Hand to consider his options, before eyeing on one particular card. 'Alright. This one's for you, Rally.'

"First off, I summon Speed Warrior in ATK mode!"

Appearing from a portal beside Yusei was the rollerblading warrior as it appeared on the Field with a grunt (ATK: 900/DEF: 400).

"Heh, I remember that troublesome shrimp. He's the one that can boost his ATK during the Battle Phase when he's first summoned. But even that little power-up won't beat my Gate Blocker." Ushio shot back with a smirk.

"He's not the only one you have to worry about." Yusei said as he pulled out another card. "Since I Normal Summoned this turn, I can Special Summon One-Shot Booster from my Hand in ATK mode!"

Coming out of a portal was a yellow machine robot that had a pair of booster engines for arms and a little traffic light fixture on its head. (1/ATK: 0/DEF: 0).

"Oh? And what's that hunk of junk supposed to do?" Ushio taunted.

"I'll show you. Battle! Speed Warrior attacks Gate Blocker with its ATK points doubled!" Yusei commanded.

"Baka! I told you before that you can't beat Gate Blocker's DEF points!" Ushio said as Speed Warrior glowed a blue aura, raising its ATK points. (2/ATK: 900-1800/DEF: 400)

"Sonic Edge!" Yusei shouted.

Speed Warrior spun on his hands and did a spinning kick with his legs, but it didn't do anything.

Yusei: 3800/SPC: 0

Ushio: 4000/SPC: 1

"See? What did I tell ya? You can't destroy my Gate Blocker!"

"Who said it had to be, Speed Warrior?" Yusei smirked.

"Huh?"

"One-Shoot Booster's effect activates! By releasing it, a Normal Summoned Monster on my Field can destroy one of yours, regardless of how strong it is!" Yusei declared.

Suddenly, Speed Warrior leaps into the air with One-Shoot Booster close behind. The warrior lands on the machine's booster arms before One-Shoot Booster fires Speed Warrior at Gate Blocker. The agile warrior kicks the DEF Mode monster with enough force to shatter it into data particles.

"So you managed to get through my defenses. But too bad for you, because this time around, I'm one step ahead!" Ushio then pushed a button on his disk. "I activate the trap card, Broken Blocker! Since you destroyed my Gate Blocker, two more can take its place!"

Just like the officer said, two more of the giant slab-like monsters appeared in front of Yusei, turning dark blue due to being in DEF Mode. (4/ATK: 100/DEF: 2000) x2

"Grrrr… you're not making this easy, are you…" Yusei growled. With the Battle Phase over, Speed Warrior's ATK returned to its normal 900. "I set two cards face-down. Ta-n endo!"

The two D-Wheels kept racing until Yusei saw the Pipeline right in his sights. "Yosh, I can still make it!" He said, revving the engine allowing the D-Wheel to go faster. He jumped off the ledge and landed safely, making a hard right turn, before going into the Pipeline. And Ushio was right behind him.

"HQ, switch on the camera feed in the Pipeline! Stay on him!" Ushio ordered.

["Affirmative. Keep up the pursuit, Officer Ushio. Do not let that Satellite get to Neo Domino City!"]

Ushio revved his D-Wheel faster as he chased after Yusei. It wasn't long before he caught up to him. "O-re no ta-n!"

Yusei's SPC: 0

Ushio's SPC: 2

"I summon Gonogo in ATK mode!" Ushio declared, slapping the card onto the tray and a large black ball with red eyes and a pointy yellow cone of a nose appeared (3/ATK: 1350/DEF: 1600). "Battle! Gonogo attacks Speed Warrior!"

The large black ball suddenly rolled over towards Speed Warrior who tried to outrun it but to no avail as it was eventually run over and destroyed into pixels.

Yusei: 3350/SPC: 0

Ushio: 4000/SPC: 2

"Ta-n endo." Ushio grinned. "It won't be long now, Yusei! Once I beat you, you're going to the Detention Center for a long time and your friends are going to be next!"

Yusei glared back at Ushio, "Like I'll let that happen. The only way that's coming true is if you beat me."

"Heh, and what exactly can you do? Without any Speed Counters, you can't use any Speed Spells! Face it, Yusei! You're about to be locked up for the rest of your life!" Ushio declared with a chuckle.

"It's not over until the last card is played! So get ready, Ushio. This Riding Duel is just getting started!" The young D-Wheeler stated.


Meanwhile, Leo sped down the pipeline while Herissmon held on for dear life.

"We're almost there, pal!" Leo told his Digimon partner. "Just a few more yards and we'll be in the city!"

"Just hurry up! It stinks here! Really bad!" Herissmon wailed. "Oh why oh why do I have to have a sensitive nose?!"

"Well, you are a hedgehog." Leo pointed out with a grin before his eyes locked on to an opening in the wall. "Jackpot! There's the way out! Hang on!"

"UWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Herissmon shouted as Leo drifted into the exit, and drove his D-Wheel out of the opening and managed to cross all the way into Neo Domino City. Hitting the brake, he stopped abruptly to look at the city nightlife. It was more breathtaking than Leo had ever seen. Compared to Satellite, this was Paradise, a utopia.

"We did it… we finally made it!" Leo grinned.

"Urp… I think I'm gonna puke…" Herissmon gagged.

"Don't puke on me!" Leo comically shouted.

"Well, well, I never thought it would be you that would come out." A familiar voice spoke. Leo and Herissmon looked up towards one of the highway bridges and standing there was someone the former never thought he would see again.

"Jack," Leo said coldly, his blue eyes glaring daggers at the man.

"It's been a long time, Leo." Jack greeted even though his facial expression remained stoic.

"Not long enough, you thieving bastard." Leo spat.

"Yeah, what's with the getup?" Herissmon asked. "I thought you and Yusei were friends!"

"Herissmon?" Jack momentarily lost his composure. "How did you-"

"I told you they would be here, Jack." A new voice piped in, revealing the head of a black dragon with red gemstones in its body.

"Vorvomon." Leo greeted the Digimon.

"Hey, Herissmon." Vorvomon said. "What's up?"

"Nothing much. Other than Crow calling me a rat for some reason…" Herissmon grumbled.

"Aren't hedgehogs rodents though?" The black dragon Digimon pointed out.

"Much as I enjoy this little reunion," Jack interjected. "I have business with our mutual friend, Yusei. Where is he?"

"Dueling a Security lackey that decided to butt in." Leo stated. "Much as I want to deal with you for what you did, that's Yusei's business."

"Hmph…" Jack scoffed.

"But I gotta ask. Did you really have to do that while you were ditching us?" Leo asked.

"I saw an opportunity and took it. Can't fault me for wanting to be King." Jack remarked with a smirk.

"Rally nearly died because of you." Leo snarled. "If being a King is so precious to you, I guess I was right to say that you aren't our brother."

"Say whatever you wish. But you have bigger problems right now."

"The hell are you on about?" Leo frowned. That was when his ears picked up the sound of sirens in the distance. "Dammit, they were waiting for us?"

"If I were you, I'd ride into the night, but I doubt you'll get far." Jack said.

"Jack, you bastard…" Leo growled. "Mark my words, Jack. Karma is a cruel mistress and she's coming for you." With that said, he revved the accelerator on the Lucky Streak then took off towards the city.

"Are you okay with this, Jack?" Vorvomon asked, looking at him.

"I am. Leo and Yusei need a push to become strong. As King, I need a challenge. I need something that will make my blood burn with excitement. Those two…are Duelists I want to fight the most." Jack told his partner.

"Hmmmmm…" Vorvomon hummed as he watched them get farther and farther away.


"Damn, Jack. I hate his arrogant attitude." Leo cursed as he drove down the streets of Neo Domino City.

"He hasn't changed a bit. Still the same back when he was a kid." Herissmon chirped with a smile.

"Guess you would be nostalgic about the past." Leo sighed at the hedgehog Digimon's usual happy-go-lucky attitude.

"So where to now?" Herissmon asked.

"We need to find a place to lay low and after that, find a place to sleep."

"What about food?"

"I'll…figure something out…" Leo muttered.

"But I wanna try some of Neo Domino City's food." Herissmon pouts like a child.

"I'll do what I can, buddy. But you gotta be-" Leo was cut off when a D-Wheel bumped into him.

"Hold it right there, scum!"

"Too late…" Leo deadpanned as a D-Wheel pulled up beside him.

"You on the D-Wheel, pull over!" The Security Officer ordered.

"Yeah~ I'm not gonna do that. Later!" Leo said, before gunning the thrusters and sped off.

"UWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Again, Herissmon held on for dear life.

"Heh, like that's going to save you," The officer smirked as he followed after the escaping D-Wheeler then pressed a button on his console. "Force Duel. Field Magic, Speed World! Set On!" He declared.

DUEL MODE. AUTO-PILOT ON. STANDBY.

As the computer announced those words, both screens showed a reverse card of a Duel Monsters card, before flipping over, revealing the Field Spell, Speed World before both screens showed the Duel Fields. Then an aura shot out of both D-Wheels, their surroundings having a negative filming effect, locking both D-Wheelers into the Riding Duel.

Leo cursed when he noticed his D-Wheel being adjusted for a Riding Duel. "Forcing me to Duel, huh? Fine, I'll finish this as quickly as possible." He drew his starting hand along with the Security officer.

"RIDING DUEL! ACCELERATION!"

Leo: 4000/SPC: 0

Officer: 4000/SPC: 0

"O-re no ta-n!" The officer declared, drawing his sixth card. "I summon Gate Blocker in DEF mode!"

Appearing on the field was the giant slab of living stone with the eyeball at the center. Since it was in DEF Mode, it turned dark blue hovering in front of Leo's D-Wheel. (4/ATK: 100/DEF: 2000)

"I'll place one card face-down. Ta-n endo." The officer grinned, placing a reverse card on the Field.

"O-re no ta-n!" Leo said, drawing his sixth card.

Leo's SPC: 0

Officer's SPC: 1

"The hell?" Leo frowned.

"Surprised, scum?" The officer sneered. "With Gate Blocker on the field, you won't be gaining any Speed Counters, meaning you can't play Speed Spells either!"

Herissmon chimed in, "That's not fair! I call hacks on that card!"

"Don't bother, Herissmon. Besides, I'm not worried about some overblown art piece." Leo told his partner before he took a card from his hand. "I summon Magician of Spades in ATK mode!" He declared, playing the card.

Appearing from out of a blue portal is a gray-haired young male spellcaster dressed in black Spade-based armor with white magician robes while wielding a magician's rod with the headpiece being a Spade. (4/ATK: 1800/DEF: 400)

"I place two cards face-down." As he said this, two cards momentarily appeared on his Field before disappearing. "Battle! Magician of Spades attacks Gate Blocker!" Leo commanded as the spellcaster immediately flew towards the enemy monster.

"You must be dumb as you look. You realize that it's ATK is lower than my defense!" The officer pointed out.

"Pot meets kettle, cause I'm about to ruin your entire career. Magician of Spades' Monster effect activates!" Leo declared as the staff wielded by the spellcaster began to glow a dark purple.

"What's it doing?"

"During the Battle Phase, Magician of Spades gains 100 ATK for each Spell/Trap on the Field. There are three such cards on both fields. Meaning he gains 300 ATK." Leo explained his monster's effect.

Magician of Spades ATK: 1800 + 300 = 2100

"That's-!"

"More than enough to break that Gate Blocker into gravel! The battle continues! Spades Magic!" Leo declared as Magician of Spades spun his staff then blasted a Spade-shaped energy bolt at Gate Blocker, destroying the defensive monster into yellow pixels. "With the Battle Phase over, my Magician's ATK returns to normal."

"And just for that, you activated my trap! Broken Blocker!" The officer said, revealing the card. "When a Gate Blocker is destroyed, two more take its place on the field," He said, as two more of the damn stone slabs appeared. (4/ATK: 100/DEF: 2000) x2

"Oh c'mon!" Herissmon complained. "That's cheating!"

"And I had just gotten rid of one of those stupid things." Leo frowned. He briefly looked at his face-down cards. 'Not yet. Not until its time.' He thought to himself then said, "T-an endo."

"O-re no ta-n! Draw!" The officer drew his next card.

Leo's SPC: 0

Officer's SPC: 2

"I summon Assault Gunpup in ATK mode!" The officer declared, playing his newly drawn card.

From out of a blue portal, came a new monster: a brown cybernetic puppy with a dark blue armored vest and a little cannon on its back with a visor covering its eyes (1/ATK: 500/DEF: 300).

"Assault Gunpup's effect activates! When this card is successfully summoned to the Field, I can Special Summon 2 Assault Gundogs from my Deck!" The officer explained as Gunpup released a cute howl as two separate portals opened up to reveal the cybernetic Doberman dogs (4/1200/800) x2.

"A Tuner Monster…" Leo muttered with tension.

"Now I tune my two Level 4 Gundogs with my Level 1 Gunpup!" The officer said as Assault Gunpup released a cute howl before it transformed into a Synchro Gate ring, hovering in the air as both Assault monsters jumped towards the ring. Their bodies became orange outlines as their Level stars combined to form nine.

"The pack shall call upon an alpha! Blood-stained claws shall tear all opposition to shreds! Synchro Summon! Appear, Assault Demon!"

Arriving from out of the Synchro Gate is a forest green demon that resembled the Summoned Skull but it had heavy cybernetics implanted throughout its body. The right arm is replaced by a metal claw with wicked talons, a railgun is mounted on its back, and instead of eyes, it has a scarlet red visor. (9/ATK: 2800/DEF: 2000)

"That thing is ugly!" Herissmon exclaimed.

"And it's about to get worse. Assault Demon's effect activates, by discarding 1 card from my hand, I can destroy a card on my opponent's Field." The officer explained his Synchro Monster's effect while placing a card from his hand into his GY, leaving his current hand at three.

"Which one are you destroying?" Leo asked.

"I expect you think I'll destroy your monster but I can't risk having those two face-downs of yours remaining on the Field. So I'll destroy the face-down on the left." The officer stated. Assault Demon leveled its railgun at Leo before firing a blue laser that struck the face-down on his left side, revealing the card to be Scrap-Metal Scarecrow. "Oh? That card would've prevented my monster from destroying yours and dealing you damage. Good thing I got rid of it."

"Tsk," Leo clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Battle! Assault Demon attacks Magician of Spades! Bloodlust Claw!" The officer declared.

"Magician of Spades' effect activates! It gains 100 ATK for every Spell or Trap on the Field!" Leo interjected as the spellcaster's ATK rose to 1900.

"Like that matters! Rip that piece of trash to shreds!" The Security officer declared as Assault Demon reared its metal claw arm back before throwing it forward, which separated and propelled towards Magician of Spades, skewering the spellcaster as he released a pained cry before shattering into yellow pixels.

Leo: 3100/SPC: 0

Officer: 4000/SPC: 2

"And lemme guess, there's another effect coming up right now…" Leo grimaced.

"That's right! Assault Demon's additional effect. When it destroys an opponent's monster, it deals you damage equal to that Monster's original ATK. Magician of Spades had 1800 ATK, so that's how much damage you're taking!" The Security officer stated. "Show him what happens when you defy authority! Fiend Punishment!"

Assault Demon aimed its railgun directly at Leo's D-Wheel then fired a beam of reddish-violet energy that struck Leo head-on.

Leo: 1300/SPC: 0

Officer: 4000/SPC: 2

"Grk! Damn!" Leo cursed as he fought to regain control of his D-Wheel while Herissmon clung onto him for dear life.

"Oh no, I'm gonna puke again!"

"You didn't even eat anything!"

"Urrrrrp! It's gonna happen! I'm gonna puke!"

"Don't you effing dare!"

*BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERGH!*

"OH GOOD LORD, IT'S EVERYWHERE!" Leo cried out in horror, as some of Herissmon's puke flew towards the Officer that was behind him.

"What the- OH GOD! THERE'S PUKE ON MY VISOR!" The Officer cried out in distress while the Assault Demon seemed to hover away from its master.


"O-re no ta-n!" Yusei declared, drawing his next card.

Yusei's SPC: 0

Ushio's SPC: 3

"I summon Junk Synchron in ATK mode!" Yusei announced. Emerging from a blue portal was the orange-beige garbed cyborg as it looked ready for a fight (3/ATK: 1300/DEF: 500).

"Then I'll activate the trap card, Angel Lift!" He said, revealing the card depicting two cherubs hovering over a Skull Servant that was bathed in a crepuscular ray of light over it. "This will let me Special Summon a Level 2 or lower Monster back from my Graveyard! So come back, Speed Warrior!"

Returning to the Field, the roller-blading cyborg warrior appeared with a flourish, eager to get back into the fight.

"Now I tune my Level 2 Speed Warrior with my Level 3 Junk Synchron!" Yusei declared. Junk Synchron pulled the cord on the engine that was on its back and revved with life before it glowed orange, and soon Junk Synchron itself. The Tuner Monster turned into three Synchro Gates while Speed Warrior went in the tunnel of rings, becoming an orange outline of itself, leaving behind two stars.

"Gathering stars will call upon a new force! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Show yourself, Junk Warrior!"

Materializing from the pillar of light was the purple-tan armored warrior as he threw out his giant right fist in a show of intimidation (5/ATK: 2300/DEF: 1300).

"Battle! Junk Warrior attacks Gonogo! Scrap Fist!" At Yusei's command, the thrusters on Junk Warrior's back ignited, propelling the armored fighter right at the giant ball before hitting it with a large astral projection of its own fist. The black ball that was Gonogo shattered into data particles soon after and Ushio's Life Points took a hit.

Yusei: 3350/SPC: 0

Ushio: 3050/SPC: 3

"Ta-n endo!" Yusei declared, ending his turn.

"Grrrrr… you've done it now, Yusei! You're gonna wish you never did that! O-re no ta-n!"

Yusei's SPC: 0

Ushio's SPC: 4

Ushio looked at his card and smirked at what he got. "You're not the only one that can Synchro Summon. I summon the Tuner Monster, Jutte Fighter in ATK mode!" Coming out of a portal was a tiny Japanese man with glasses wearing a yellow kimono with a red jinbaori over it while carrying a chojin lantern over his back while holding a jutte (2/ATK: 700/DEF: 900).

"A Tuner Monster?" Yusei questioned with mild surprise.

"That's right and you know what that means." Ushio said with an evil chuckle. "I tune one of my Level 4 Gate Blockers with my Level 2 Jutte Fighter!" As he declared this, Jutte Fighter vanished, leaving behind two Synchro Gates, which Gate Blocker flew into and became an orange outline of itself as four stars were left behind.

"Synchro Summon! Goyo Guardian!"

Emerging from the pillar of light is a kabuki-dressed warrior with samurai elements (6/ATK: 2800/DEF: 2000).

"Battle! Goyo Guardian attacks Junk Warrior!" Ushio ordered. The kabuki-like samurai swung his jutte that was attached to a long rope and swung at Junk Warrior. The tip of the jutte struck true at its chest, which the armor cracked several times before it was destroyed.

Yusei: 2850/SPC: 0

Ushio: 3050/SPC: 4

"Now Goyo Guardian's effect activates. When my monster destroys another one the Field, I can Special Summon it on my side in DEF Mode." While the officer said this, Goyo Guardian threw his jutte into a dark vortex before pulling up a tied up Junk Warrior as it was forced to Ushio's side like a prisoner of war.

"For what reason?" Yusei pondered.

Ushio smirked, "So I can play this! The Speed Spell - Sonic Buster!" He said, playing a card from his hand. "When I have at least four or more Speed Counters, half of my Monster's ATK points are directed towards you as Damage!"

"What?" Yusei looked at Ushio with a small widening of his eyes.

"The monster I choose is my Goyo Guardian!" Ushio declared as Sonic Buster's power struck Goyo Guardian before it grunted and released the energy filled with half its strength at Yusei, who grunted from the force as his D-Wheel started to slow down.

Yusei: 1450/SPC: 0

Ushio: 3050/SPC: 4

While Yusei managed to get his D-Wheel under control, Ushio continued his assault. "Next, I activate a second Sonic Buster from my hand!"

Just like before, Goyo Guardian was struck with energy before he released it right at Yusei, slamming him with another 1400 points of damage.

Yusei: 50/SPC: 0

Ushio: 3050/SPC: 4

The damage slowed him down just enough that his D-Wheel was literally next to Ushio's. "Ta-n endo." He grinned. "You better quit while you're ahead, Yusei. I may have been lenient with you the first time around, but I won't be this time. And when I lock you up, your friends are next!"

"And like I said, the only way you're getting to them… is if you beat me." Yusei stated.

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. We already have officers on the other side and it won't be long until they find them."

Yusei glared at Ushio then looked ahead. "They won't beat him that easily."

"And what makes you say that? People like you and him are the trash and scum of society! Amounting to nothing and being worthless!"

"Hmph, if you had said that to him, you would've ended up on the ground unconscious." Yusei stated.

"He can't do that if he's locked up." Ushio grinned. "Besides, it's not like he'll make it to new heights in Neo Domino. It's a whole new world out there and he's not gonna survive."

"Wrong. Don't underestimate him and you sure as hell shouldn't underestimate me. O-re no… ta-n!" He said, drawing his next card.

Yusei's SPC: 5

Ushio's SPC: 5

"First, I summon Nitro Synchron in ATK mode." Yusei said as he played his newest Tuner Monster.

Emerging to the Field is a cartoonish nitro tank with arms and legs while colored light red and white (2/ATK: 300/DEF: 100).

"Next I activate the Speed Spell - Dash Pilfer!"

"Are you an idiot? You don't have enough Speed Counters to play a Spell!"

This time it was Yusei's turn to counter, "So-re wa doukana." He smirked.

"What?"

"Double check your screen."

Ushio looked at the said screen and gawked, "What?! But that's impossible! You shouldn't have any Speed Counters! How?!" He then looked at the top left corner of his screen. "A trap card?!"

"That's right. When you activated that second Sonic Buster, I activated the trap card, Slip Stream! This gives me the same number of Speed Counters you have, if mine was lower."

"Damn you!" Ushio cursed. "What does it matter anyway?! You're still going to lose!"

"You should get your eyes checked. Dash Pilfer's effect activates! This card lets me take control of a monster on your Field that's in face-up DEF Mode and switches it to ATK Mode till the end of my turn." Yusei declared as a beam of green light shot out of the Dash Pilfer card and struck Junk Warrior, giving him the strength to break free from Goyo Guardian's grip and return to his original master's side.

"Satellite scum!" Ushio snarled.

"Now I'll tune my Level 5 Junk Warrior with my Level 2 Nitro Synchron!" The little meter on Nitro Synchron's head suddenly reached the red zone as it burst into particles of light, forming two Synchro Gates while Junk Warrior turned into an orange outline of itself as five stars emerged from its body and the stars lined up in the tunnel of rings.

"Gathering feelings will now become a new force! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Blaze on, Nitro Warrior!"

Emerging from the pillar of light is a green-navy blue ogre-like warrior with a nitrogen booster affixed to its… butt (7/ATK: 2800/DEF: 1800).

"Nitro Warrior's first effect activates! Since I played a Speed Spell the turn he was summoned, he gains 1000 ATK!"

"It what?!" Ushio shouted as a blue aura surrounded Nitro Warrior (7/ATK: 2800-3800/DEF: 1800).

"Battle! Nitro Warrior attacks Goyo Guardian!" At Yusei's command, Nitro Warrior's back welded boosters propelled him right at the gobsmacked Goyo Guardian. "Dynamite Knuckle!" The ogre-like warrior threw out his fists as a green astral projection of the fists slammed right into the kabuki-like samurai, shattering him to pieces.

Yusei: 50/SPC: 5

Ushio: 2050/SPC: 4

"How dare you do that to me!" Ushio growled.

"I'm not done yet." Yusei said, surprising the officer. "Nitro Warrior's second effect activates. When it destroys an opposing monster by battle, it can switch an opponent's defense mode monster to attack mode and battle it."

Ushio started to sweat, "But the only defense monster I have is-"

"Yes… your Gate Blocker." Yusei finished. Just as he said that, the dark blue aura surrounding Gate Blocker disappeared, reverting back to its normal colors. "Nitro Warrior's attack power returns to 2800, but it's more than enough to utterly demolish your Gate Blocker."

"This can't be happening!" Ushio cried out.

"Then here's a dose of reality! Nitro Warrior!" The young man called out.

Understanding his master's wishes, Nitro Warrior reared back his fist with a loud battle cry and threw it forward. "Dynamite Knuckle!"

The punch struck true, hitting Gate Blocker with enough force to shatter it into rubble.

Yusei: 50/SPC: 5

Ushio: 0/SPC: 2

"Noooooooooo!" Ushio cried out as his D-Wheel suddenly stalled. "I'll get you for this, you Satellite scum!"

As the Solid Vision disappeared, Yusei went into overdrive and sped up ahead. Unfortunately, the clock ran out and the trash started coming in by the heaps. The hatch leading to the outside was also starting to close. The crab-haired teen clicked his tongue as he pushed the accelerator on his D-Wheel to its limit, dodging trash that barely hit him. Unfortunately for Ushio, he was swept up by the garbage along with his D-Wheel. Yusei was dodging left and right trying not to get hit. "C'mon, get there!" He gritted as he kept his D-Wheel steady while dodging the incoming garbage. He revved the engines as hard as he could, shouting as he tried to get through before the gates closed. Then in a surprising move, he angled his D-Wheel so that it was nearly to the ground as he grinded the wheels while sparks flew. In the nick of time, he barely managed to get through the crack of the closing gates and rearranged himself so that he could stabilize his ride.

Once he made it clear out of the Pipeline, Yusei finally began to realize that he was no longer in Satellite but directly in the city.

"I'm finally here…" Yusei said to himself.

Yusei!"

Yusei abruptly stopped his D-Wheel to a halt when he heard a familiar voice. He looked up and like Kurogasa, he saw a familiar person standing at the edge of the freeway looking down at him. The crab-haired boy took off his helmet. "Jack…"

"It's been a while." Jack said as he stood in front of the Wheel of Fortune.

"Where's my Stardust Dragon?" Yusei demanded.

Jack smirked, "Not even a hello for your old friend? At least Leo took the time to greet me and my partner."

"So they made it out."

"Of course he did. We caught up and after that, they rode into the night." Jack said.

Yusei narrowed his eyes, "I want my card back, Jack."

"You mean this one?" Jack asked as he held up a card and sure enough there it was. Stardust Dragon. It was a Level 8 Wind-Attribute Dragon-Type Synchro Monster with 2500 ATK and 2000 DEF. It was a slender white dragon with indigo pectorals, vicious claws, an extended nose, yellow eyes, sharp teeth, and its wings were leathery and bat-like. And true to its name, stardust enveloped the background.

The crab-haired teen looked at his card with stoic relief, glad to see the dragon again before he glared back at Jack.

"Here, since I'm now the Duel King. I don't need it anymore. You can have it back." Jack said as he threw the card at Yusei, which he swiftly caught with his fingers.

Yusei looked at Stardust Dragon for a bit. His eyes softened as he held his beloved card once more… before he closed his eyes and tossed it back towards Jack, who caught it without much trouble. "I'll win my card back by Dueling you, Jack." He told the blonde man.

"Hmph. You know me so well. And you always weren't one for handouts." Jack smirked.

"Then you already have a stage picked out for our Duel then." Yusei said with a glare.

"Of course, follow me." The Riding Duel King told his old friend as he mounted his D-Wheel and put his helmet on. The two of them then drove off into the night with Yusei following Jack to what could possibly be his final battle.


After a brief pause in their Riding Duel, both Duelists took the time to clean off the vomit before they mounted their D-Wheels and continued the Duel.

"Okay, back to the Duel. Since I already dealt damage to you, I'll place one card face-down." The Security Officer said, making his current hand two after he placed his face-down. "T-an endo."

"Ughhhhhh…" Herissmon groaned.

"Oh suck it up, Herissmon, you can handle a few more turns." Leo chastised.

"Okay…"

"O-re no ta-n! Draw!"

Leo's SPC: 0

Officer's SPC: 3

Leo drew his next card then briefly looked at it. "I summon Rogue of Diamonds in ATK mode!"

After slapping the card on his board, a blue portal appeared in front of Leo. Flying out of its is a male youth with blonde hair, green eyes, and wearing red ninja gear that had a Diamond symbol printed on the back while wielding a kunai. (3/ATK: 1000/DEF: 500)

"And what's that gonna do?" The officer sneered.

"For now? Nothing. At least, not until I activate this. Trap Card: Tuner Shaver! When a Monster is Normal Summoned to the Field, I can Special Summon a Tuner Monster from my Hand but its Level is lowered by 1 and its effects are negated. I picked the Knight of Diamonds!" Leo declared as he revealed the face-down which showed an image of Junk Synchron shrinking down from its normal size.

From out of a blue portal came the dark red-white armored knight wielding a halberd and short shield. (3-2/ATK: 900/DEF: 600)

"Now I tune my Level 3 Rogue of Diamonds with my Level 2 Knight of Diamonds. Rogue of Diamonds' effect activates. When he's used in the Synchro Summon of a LIGHT-attributed Synchro Monster, his Level becomes 4." Leo declared as Knight of Diamonds turned into two Synchro Gates while Rogue of Diamonds jumped in, leaving an orange outline of itself as four stars appeared in a line before vanishing in a pillar of light.

"The wheels of fortune burn for a hero's wisdom! Emblazoned with untapped power! Synchro Summon! It's Showtime, Red Ace Magician!"

Emerging from the pillar of light is a young man clad in mechanized red armor with flowing white magician robes, the Ace symbol emblazoned on the shoulder pads in black, a white metal mask covering the man's mouth and nose while leaving his sharp purple eyes free. From the curved, pointy armored helmet that allowed his long jet black hair free to his metal boots, there were runes that pulsed with power. In the spellcaster's right hand is a spear-like staff with the headpiece being a dark red letter "A" with a blue crystal. (6/ATK: 2000/DEF: 1500)

"Red Ace Magician's effect activates. When he's successfully Synchro Summoned, I can draw a card." Leo said as he drew a card from his Deck and looked at it. "I place one card face-down." He immediately places his newest card into his Spell/Trap Zone, which briefly appeared before vanishing.

"Heh, what's that weakling gonna do? In case you've forgotten, my Assault Demon is far stronger than your Synchro Monster." The Officer scoffed.

"You'll see. Battle! Red Ace Magician attacks Assault Demon!" Leo announced.

"You're out of your mind! Are you trying to lose?"

"Wrong, because my Red Ace Magician has an additional effect. During the Battle Phase, it gains 500 ATK for every "Diamonds" monster in my Graveyard. I count two currently resting in the grave so my monster gains 1000 ATK! Emblazoned Rune!" Leo declared as Red Ace Magician's armor glowed, or rather, the runes did, surrounding him in a fiery aura.

Red Ace Magician ATK: 2000 + 1000 = 3000

"And he has another nifty effect. He can attack all Special Summoned monsters that my opponent controls." Leo said with a smirk.

"What did you say!?" The Officer cried out in shock.

Leo outstretched his arm, eyes burning with confidence as he commanded his monster. "Go, Red Ace Magician! Attack all three of his monsters! Ace Burning!"

The magician's staff pulsed with red energy before, with a war cry, it unleashed a red-white fireball that split into three and struck not only Assault Demon but also the two Gate Blockers, destroying them into pixels.

Leo: 1300/SPC: 0

Officer: 3800/SPC: 3

"Big whoop!" The officer snapped. "You barely scratched at my Life Points!"

"Yeah, but at least I can get Speed Counters again." Leo grinned.

"Guys, hurry up! I wanna eat~!" Herissmon whined.

"What the hell is wrong with that thing?" The Officer questioned.

"He's a glutton, don't worry about it." Leo stated. "With the Battle Phase over, Red Ace Magician's ATK returns to normal. T-an endo." With that said, Red Ace Magician's ATk returned to its original 2000. "Ta-n endo."

"O-re no ta-n!"

Leo's SPC: 1

Officer's SPC: 4

"You may have destroyed my Synchro Monster along with my Gate Blockers, but I'm still in the lead of this Duel, you punk!" The Officer remarked as he drew his next card. When he looked at it, a wicked grin appeared on his face. "And I intend to make sure you get hauled off to the Facility by the end of this. I'll activate the Speed Spell - Assault Promotion!" He played said spell, which revealed an image of Assault Demon being given a new uniform. "I can activate this card if an "Assault" Synchro Monster is in my Graveyard and I get rid of three Speed Counters. By banishing that Synchro Monster, I can Special Summon a different Synchro Monster that's one level higher."

"It can what?!" Leo and Herissmon exclaimed in unison.

Officer's SPC: 1

"I banish Assault Demon and Special Summon from my Extra Deck, Assault ArmorDragon!" The Officer announced as the card of Assault Demon briefly appeared before it changed into a Synchro Gate that erupted into a pillar of light.

Arriving from out of the Synchro Gate is a giant dark green dragon covered in silver cybernetic armor with glowing orange circuits running along the surface. Its right arm is replaced by a triple-barreled cannon while the left had a wicked blade jetting from the wrist. Its yellow eyes also appeared to be cybernetic in nature with a set of horns protruding from its skull. Missile launchers are attached to its waist while a small laser cannon is equipped on the tip of the tail (10/ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500).

"Holy crap! And here I thought Machinedramon was scary!" Herissmon freaked out.

"Battle! Assault ArmorDragon attacks Red Ace Magician!" The Officer commanded.

"Red Ace Magician's effect activates! During the Battle Phase, it gains 500 ATK for every "Diamonds" monster in my GY!" Leo interjected as his spellcaster's ATK jumped to 3000.

"Useless! Assault ArmorDragon's effect activates! When it battles a monster with equal or higher ATK, it cannot be destroyed in battle!" The Officer stated.

"What?!" Leo shouted in dismay.

"Violent Barrage!" The Officer commanded. Assault ArmorDragon roared as it aimed its arm cannon as energy began to charge up before it fired a blast of yellow energy at the magician who put up a magical barrier, but eventually shattered and the energy beam hit its target before being destroyed into pixels. "Hehehe! Now your Synchro Monster is gone!"

"Not yet he isn't!" Leo retorted. "I activate the Quick-Play Trap: Shadow Synchro! When a Synchro Monster I control is destroyed this turn, I can Special Summon it back. However, it's ATK becomes 0 and its effects are negated until my next turn. Revive, Red Ace Magician!"

Appearing once more is the red and white garbed magician as it spun its staff before flying beside Leo's D-Wheel as its ATK dropped to 0.

"Tch, you Satellite punks are like cockroaches. T-an endo." The Officer said, finishing his turn.

"Leo, what are you gonna do? His dragon is really strong and your Red Ace Magician can't fight that on his own!" Herissmon said with worry.

"It's alright, buddy. My monsters are never alone. They always have each other. And have you forgotten? I'm favored by Lady Luck." Leo said with a grin as he hovered his hand over his Deck. "That's why I'll believe in my Deck until the very end! O-re no ta-n! Draw!" He drew his next card then when he saw it, he smirked. "It's here."

Leo's SPC: 2

Officer's SPC: 2

"At this moment, the effect of Shadow Synchro ends." As he said this, Red Ace Magician's ATK returned to 2000. "Next, I activate the Speed Spell - Overcharge!" Leo said, playing the card on his Duel Disk, revealing the image of the card as Junk Warrior, Nitro Warrior, and Turbo Warrior were surrounded by auras of power.

"Overcharge?" The Officer repeated in confusion.

"This card can be activated when I have two or more Speed Counters. By sending the top five cards in my Deck to the Graveyard, a monster I control gains half the ATK of every monster card sent to the GY by this card's effect." Leo explained his Speed Spell's effect as he took the top five cards from his Deck then when he looked at them, his smirk grew. "And what do you know, all five are monster cards." He places the mentioned cards into his Graveyard, revealing their images. "The monsters sent to the Graveyard were Magician of Diamonds, Demon of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds, Queen of Diamonds, and King of Diamonds!"

"What!? That's impossible!" The Officer cried out in horror.

Leo's SPC: 0

"By doing the math in my head, half the total of their entire ATK comes down to 4200!" Leo stated. As he said this, Red Ace Magician is coated in a red aura that filled him with power.

Red Ace Magician ATK: 2000 + 4200 = 6200

"6200 ATK!?"

"Battle! Red Ace Magician attacks Assault ArmorDragon! Red Ace Magician's effect activates! During the Battle Phase, it gains 500 ATK for every "Diamonds" Monster in my Graveyard! There's seven "Diamonds" monsters in my Graveyard! That gives him an additional 3500 ATK! Emblazoned Rune!"

This time, the silver runes on Red Ace Magician's armor glowed blazing orange as the spellcaster released a war cry as the seven spirits of the "Diamonds" monsters appeared behind him.

Red Ace Magician ATK: 6200 + 3500 = 9700

"IT'S OVER 9000!" The Officer shouted.

"Finish it, Red Ace Magician!" Leo declared, his ocean blue eyes momentarily glowing as he threw his hand out towards the Security Officer. "Ace Burning!"

The empowered magician brought up his staff as a massive ball of light formed at the head then with a loud battle cry, he sent the energy right at Assault ArmorDragon. The dragon tried to protect itself but the attack easily tore through its cybernetic body until it exploded in a violent cloud of smoke and pixels.

Leo: 1300/SPC: 0

Officer: 0/SPC: 0

WINNER: Leo

The word "DEFEAT" appeared on the officer's D-Wheel console, releasing steam as the frame opened and immediately stopped the Duel Chaser. "Damn you! I can't lose to Satellite trash!"

"Well, you just did. Eat my dust, copper!" Leo said with a laugh as the Solid Vision canceled out and he drove away from his pursuer.

"Bastard!" The Security Officer reached into a hidden compartment on his D-Wheel…and pulled out a pistol then started firing at the fleeing teen.

"Is this guy insane!?" Herissmon exclaimed as he ducked down to avoid the bullets.

Leo winced, "Just stay down, Herissmon! I'll get us out of here!" He pushed down on the throttle, earning him a loud roar from his Lucky Streak as he made a hard turn down a street and out of the angry officer's sight.

"Whew, I think we're in the clear. Right, Leo?" Herissmon said with a relieved smile but grew worried when his partner didn't reply. "Leo?"

"Not…entirely…" Leo winced as a spot on his right shoulder began to bleed before his head fell on the dashboard and sent his D-Wheel out of control until it crashed into an alleyway.

Herissmon was sent flying but luckily, he managed to land on several trash bags. When he regained his balance, he found his human partner face down and unconscious while the wound in his shoulder bled profusely. "Leo!" He cried out, running over to the teen. "Wake up! Leo! Please, wake up!" He cried, eyes laced with tears as he tried to awaken the Royal Flush Duelist.

"Damn…" Leo grunted, as he was stirring. "Didn't think… I'd go out like this…"

"Please, stay awake! I-I'll go find help!" Herissmon looked around for any other humans in the area that could save his friend. "Help! Somebody! Anybody!"

A door opened, catching Herissmon's attention as a figure stepped out. "What's going on out here?"

"Please, help! My friend, he's hurt!" The hedgehog Digimon pleaded with the newcomer, tears running down his muzzle.

"Eh?" The figure stared at Herissmon for a few seconds before noticing the injured Leo. "Oh my goodness! Hold on!"

Before he blacked out, Leo remained conscious enough to notice a detail about the person approaching him. 'Their eyes…they're red…'


A/N: And we end on a cliffhanger!

Oh my God, I am finally done with this chapter! You have no idea how much I was tearing my hair out trying to come up with how to do the Duel between Leo and the Security guy.

But now, we head straight to Neo Domino City. We all know what will happen to Yusei but what about during the Duel against Jack? Who found Leo and Herissmon? And will I eventually get someone to assist me with Yu-Gi-Oh stuff?

All that and more in the next chapter.

Review and comment on this chapter (Seriously, review, give me ideas, give me helpful criticism). Love it, hate it, but just know that you've read it.

Peace out, everyone!
