Ghost's runner rushed toward me, and his monster descended toward me, "Prepare to meet your doom!"

All of the traps on my field exploded, and Stardust screeched in pain as he was sucked inside of the robot, "Stardust!"

I shot up, and slowed down my breathing. It's been awhile since I've had a nightmare about Ghost.

Glancing over at the clock, it flashed out of bed, I walked downstairs and stared around at the garage. I sat down at my computer, and started adjusting the design of the new engine that the others were all calling the Yusei Engine. Not sure if they do that to tease me because of how much I work on it, or because it functions due to the Yusei gear. Probably a mixture of both.


"Yusei. Did you fall asleep on your computer again?"

Keys stuck on my face as I sat up, "Didn't mean to. Just was having difficulty sleeping last night."

Something slammed on the counter, and I glanced up to see red, "Crow, why is my helmet on the desk?"

He smiled at me, "Let's go for a ride. The three of us haven't done that in forever, because you're always busy."

"Sure, why not?"

Jack walked down, adjusting his suit, "I don't see why not. It sounds like a good way to destress."

A smile crept on my face as I rubbed the imprints of my keyboard off of my face, "Yeah, it will."


I cruised along the freeway, Crow and Jack trailing behind me. Suddenly, Jack's voice interrupted the peace, "Someone is coming up behind us."

Crow piped up as well, "Why does he have such a large runner?"

Turning on my back camera, I noticed a large white runner with lights placed to look like eyes on the front. As I watched, its lights flickered, challenging us to a duel.

"He must be joking. All three of us could take down most duelists."

Rolling my eyes, I spoke up, "I'll take this guy on."

Crow chuckled, "Don't go easy on him, sis."


A false explosion created smoke, and the three of us shot out of it. Both of the guys were grinning like mad men, and Jack called out, "Come on, sis, wipe him out!"

"Junk Synchron tunes up Junk Warrior, to create my favorite monster, Stardust Dragon!"

Stardust Dragon-2500

"Perfect. That was exactly what I was hoping for."

My opponent held up a completely blank card, and Crow muttered, "What does he hope to accomplish with that? It's completely empty."

Other cards flew out of it, and started to surround Stardust. Before THAT could register in my mind, a bright flash made him disappear, and the cards returned to the empty one in his hand.

The man caught up to me, holding out a fake copy of my card, "Thank you for your dragon, Fudo Yusei. Now I can destroy your time."

Yusei…

He sped up, and his runner became surrounded by a bright light. As the light died out, he was gone. I pulled to a stop, and stared at my empty card, "Stardust."


Jack leaned against the wall, "That shouldn't have been possible."

"He knew my name. So he must have been after Stardust from the beginning."

Crow shifted his weight, "That's insane. How could he have done all of that?"

"I don't know, but I just feel empty right now without Stardust."

The door opened, and the other three walked in, Leo rushing to us, "You guys, we found something strange when working on homework."

Luna walked over to me, and handed me a datapad, "We were researching the history of duel monsters, and we found this."

Most of the screen was filled with an image of three men. Two men with white hair, and one with hair that could compete with mine for most ridiculous hair in existence. Crow leaned over my shoulder, "Who are they?"

Jack leaned over my other, "The man on the right is Pegasus, the creator of duel monsters as we know it. And the man with hair like Yusei's is Moto Yugi. He was considered the best duelist to ever pick up a deck of cards. I wish that I could have dueled him, but that isn't possible unless time travel is reality."

I glanced up at Luna, "Was this the article you wanted me to see?"

She shook her head, "No, the next one."

Switching pages, my blood froze as Crow yelled in my ear, "What is Stardust doing that far back? His card is only been around since we were born!"

A bit of white caught my attention, and I tapped the screen, "It's that guy. The one who stole Stardust from me. But how is that possible unless-"

The world jerked, and I looked up to see the world turning black outside the window, "What on Earth?"

We all raced outside, and Aki pointed over to the Kaiba Corp building, "Is it...disappearing?"

Huge chunks fell off the top of the building, dissolving as they fell to the ground. I looked around, "Why is everything falling apart?"

Jack walked up next to me, "I think that it's falling apart because our past has changed."

Pain shot up my arm, all the way onto my back. Aki looked behind me, "The Crimson Dragon's mark is on your back!"

Red flashed in the corner of my eye, and we all turned to the runners. Justice was glowing with red fire that mirrored the Crimson Dragon. Before my mind could comprehend that, my legs started to run toward it.

"Yusei, what are you doing?"

I turned my head, "It's telling me to get on my runner!"

Hopping on, I followed the Crimson Dragon along one of the freeways, "Please guide me to where Stardust is!"

A bright light surrounded me, and my runner lept forward.


A/N: Just realized a couple days ago that I haven't written the movie. So...if you have no idea what is happening, brace yourself for a lot of time travel.

Review time:

PipeDream (guest): Holy guacamole, I checked my email and saw how many chapters that you reviewed to. Thank you so much.

Athina Ioakimidou: Thanks! I was trying to make that point.
