Yu-gi-oh! 5D's

Chapter 3-Kalin is a Psychic!?

Author Notes: I read on Yu-gi-oh! Wiki that even after Kalin was revived as a normal human after Rex Goodwin's defeat, Kalin is still capable of inflicting real damage to an extent. The biggest example of this was when he defeated Lawton using Infernity Doom Slinger's effect and the hit was able to fully knock out Lawton. In a way, Kalin developed psychic abilities (similar to those of Akiza's) after being a Dark Signer and they only began to manifest during and after being one. Learning about this fact was what inspired me to write this fan fic.

Akiza, Leo, and Luna looked a Kalin in surprise. They only caught a small glimpse of him during the war between the Signers and the Dark Signers, as well as the fact that the three didn't personally know him. Not to mention, he looked drastically different than the last time they saw him, as his hair had grown longer and he looked much more kinder.

Yusei, Jack, and Crow on the other hand, ran forward to greet their old friend.

"Kalin, you came!" smiled Yusei.

"We were worried you didn't get our texts," chuckled Crow.

"Perhaps you should actually reply to us next time!" huffed Jack.

"Sorry about that," said Kalin. "You know that it's illegal to text and drive."

"Never mind about all that. I believe it's about time you met the other members of Team 5D's for real," said Yusei. Kalin nodded.

Akiza was the first one to introduce herself. "I'm Akiza Izinski. Yusei told me stories of how you, him, Jack, and Crow were members of a team called The Enforcers. Oh and I also happen to be Yusei's wife."

"Pleased to meet you, Akiza. I'm surprised Yusei got married," smiled Kalin.

"Well, he did save me from the Arcadia Movement after learning their true motives," said Akiza. "Marrying him was my way of paying back his kindness."

Leo then stepped up. "Hey there! I'm Leo! I think you're a pretty cool musician, the way you showed up!"

Luna shook her head and sighed. "I'm really sorry about my brother, sir. He still gets over-excited about the smallest things even after all these years. Oh, and my name is Luna."

Kalin chuckled. "It's fine. You two remind me of two siblings I met in Satisfaction Town. Their names' are West and Nico."

"How's it like in Satisfaction Town, anyway?" asked Leo.

"It used to be run by two rival gangs. But thanks to Yusei's and the other's help, we were able to liberate the town and arrest the criminals," replied Kalin.

"Ooh, sounds like one of those Wild West stories!" exclaimed Leo. "Can we go there sometime?"

"Certainly," said Kalin.

Tetsu Trudge, who was promoted to commissioner during the timeskip, suddenly appeared on his runner. A large grin appeared on his face when he saw the whole gang.

"Well, well, well," beamed Trudge. "Looks like the whole gang's here!"

"Officer Trudge!" gasped Yusei.

"That's Commissioner Trudge to you!" shouted the large man.

"Geez, calm down, old man," said Jack with a hint of annoyance.

"Hey Chief Trudge!" said Crow. "Came to take us out for lunch?"

"Yeah, that's right," replied Trudge. "Consider it a gift."

Everyone smiled as they followed Trudge to a nice ramen restaurant. Ever since the Signers defeated the Dark Signers, the relationship between the citizens of Neo Domino City and Satellite slowly improved. Trudge used to have a seething hatred towards Satellite, but Yusei taught him the errors of Sector Security's ways and Trudge worked to reform the force.

"Ahh, nothing beats the flavor of ramen!" exclaimed Jack.

"Man, I forgot how much you go crazy over ramen," grumbled Crow.

"Relax, Crow," chuckled Yusei. "Let's not ruin the good mood."

"I agree with Yusei," said Kalin.

Trudge looked at Kalin. "It's been a while, Kalin. I hope you still don't have a grudge against me after what I did to you."

Kalin paused a bit as he processed Trudge's words. "You don't have to apologize, chief. I was stupid and immature back then. I have gone through Hell and returned as a better man."

"I've been working with Crow to reform Sector Security," said Trudge. "The old system was corrupt and selfish. Neo Domino City has seen a drop in crime ever since."

"I see," said Kalin.

"Speaking of Sector Security," said Yusei. "What happened to the other chief, Chief Armstrong?"

"Wasn't he the man who arrested Yusei?" asked Luna.

"Ever since I got promoted, I fired Armstrong!" exclaimed Trudge. Everyone but Crow was shocked when they heard those words.

"You did?" asked Akiza.

"Heh! Yeah he was!" laughed Crow. "That fatso lost it when he got fired!"

"Hmph, that fatso deserved it too!" smirked Jack.

Trudge payed for the meal and the group started heading towards the park, when they suddenly heard a scream.

"Did you guys hear that yell?" asked Yusei.

"Sounds like somebody is in danger!" cried Akiza.

"Let's go save that person!" yelled Crow."

Everyone ran towards the sound of the scream and were shocked when they saw a group of 5 men bullying a boy with a duel disk.

"Give us your duel disk, boy, and your cards!" said one of the thugs.

"Yeah, then maybe we will spare ya!" laughed another thug.

"Helllp!" cried the boy.
"Hey you, there!" yelled Yusei. "Let the boy go!"

The thugs looked at Yusei and cowered with shock. "Ahh! It's Yusei Fudo! That Satellite guy who's really strong!"

All but one of the thugs started to run when one of them stupidly decided to remain standing.

"Don't ya eggheads get it?! If we defeat Yusei, we'll get to steal all his rare cards!"

The thugs looked at him and foolishly agreed. "Yusei Fudo! Let's duel!"

Yusei activated his own duel disk. "Let's rev it up!"

But before the duel could get underway, Kalin placed his hand on Yusei's shoulders to stop him. "Wait, Yusei! Let me handle them."

Yusei looked at Kalin in confusion. "Kalin? But they specifically wanted to duel me."

"Actually, there is something I wanted to show you guys and I feel now is the time to show it."

"You want to duel in my place?" asked Yusei. "Well, alright." He stepped aside.

The thugs laughed. "Yusei gave up and this loser is gonna fight instead?! This'll be too easy!"

As soon as Kalin stepped up to face the thugs, he became motionless as a stone. He placed his hand over his deck and closed his eyes. Everyone looked at him in confusion.

"Kalin! Look out!" cried Yusei.

"What Yusei said!" yelled Leo.

"He's going to get hurt!" cried Luna.

"Hey, I thought he was gonna duel them, not stand around with his eyes closed!" yelled Crow.

"Is Kalin stupid? He's going to be a punching bag if he doesn't do something!" Jack shouted.

"I don't care if this is a duel! I'm steppin' in!" yelled Crow.

"Me too!" yelled Jack.

"Wait, you two!" said Akiza. "I think I know what he's doing."

"You do?" asked Yusei.

Akiza nodded.

The thugs laughed again at Kalin and taunted: "So the guy wants us to punch him?! Fine by us!" They rushed towards Kalin, ready to beat him to a pulp.

Kalin suddenly opened his eyes and drew the top card of his deck.

"I summon Infernity Beast! Infernity Beast! Infernal Howling!"

Infernity Beast jumped into the air and let out a powerful roar that knocked the thugs off their feet.

"What the-?!" yelled Chief Trudge.

"Kalin's monster inflicted real damage on the gangsters!" gasped Yusei.

"No way! Then that means-" muttered Jack.

"Kalin is a psychic!" Akiza finished his sentence.
