Chapter 1: A New Day
Flashback
Kalin Kessler was riding on his Dark Duel Runner and racing against his former friend Yusei Fudo in a Shadow Turbo Duel. A maniacal-looking smirk formed on his face as he drew his ace monster, Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu. Kalin yelled out with crazed laughter as he slapped the monster on the monster card zone.
"Descend upon this world! Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu!"
Yusei gasped in horror as the fiend emerged from the dark purple flames surrounding the field.
"Kalin!" called out Yusei. "Stop this! This isn't the real you!"
"I've heard enough from you!" yelled Kalin."Time for you to feel the same pain as I have! Goodbye, Yusei!" He laughed as Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu raised its arm, ready to destroy Yusei.
Then the world went black.
Modern Day
"…Kalin…" said a gruff voice.
"Kalin!" said a different voice.
"…Huh?..." muttered Kalin. He rubbed his eyes and looked around for the sounds of those two voices. He was taken aback a bit when he realized he was sleeping on the couch in the living room. Kalin sat upright and was confronted by two of his former teammates, Crow Hogan and Jack Atlas.
"Daydreaming again? Or were you actually napping?" said Crow with a giant grin on his face.
"With all the snoring, I'd say he was asleep," replied Jack.
"Uh…yeah…" muttered Kalin.
"Are you okay, Kalin?" asked Yusei, a look of concern showing on his face.
"Yeah, just remembering the past. Some of the bad stuff I did," replied Kalin sadly.
Looks of concern appeared on the other members' faces. Yusei's fists clenched tightly as hearing Kalin speak those words pained his heart. He hoped that after helping his friend liberate Crash Town from Lawton, he would never have to hear those words ever again.
"Kalin, not again-"
Much to Yusei's surprise however, a smile formed on Kalin's lips.
"Don't worry, Yusei. I won't take a trip down nightmare lane again."
Yusei relaxed his posture. "Kalin…you mean that?..."
Kalin continued his speech. "Because I have something to live for. And people to live for.
So I'll live my life to the fullest here."
Everyone smiled and patted Kalin on the back.
"Heh! Now you're finally acting like the real Kalin!" chuckled Crow
"I can see it in your eyes that the real Kalin is back!" said Jack.
"Kalin…don't give up on yourself," said Yusei.
"Heh…" chuckled Kalin. He then blushed when he realized he laughed. However, he felt warm inside, as it had been a long time since he felt this way.
