Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
Chapter 12: The 5th Enforcer
Kalin's green-golden eyes slowly opened and were met with a blinding white light. Strange beeping noises could be heard in the room as he looked around in confusion. His hands grasped the blanket and his attention turned to a familiar-looking redhead woman.
Where am I? How did I get here? Who's that woman? Hey, hold on a minute! Kalin suddenly jolted wide awake as he realized he was in a hospital room.
Akiza smiled and waved at him. "You're finally awake, Kalin!"
"Akiza? Where are we? How long have I been in here? Where's my harmonica?" asked Kalin in confusion.
"That's a lot of questions," chuckled Akiza. "But since you're wide awake now, I'll answer them. You're in Neo Domino Medical Center and have been here for three days. Oh, yes, I hung up your instrument over on the wall next to your jacket. You know, you're pretty gifted with the harmonica. Yusei told me it actually helped distract Solar!"
"Three days?" said Kalin. "No wonder my mind's all cloudy. My harmonica tune distracted Solar, huh? That's pretty funny." He smiled a bit and let out a small chuckle. "Why are you here, and where are the others?"
"Don't worry, you'll be back to normal in no time, according to my boss," said Akiza. "Yeah, Yusei told me Solar really lost her cool when she heard the melody playing. Distracting people with music is kind of a gift, according to some psychologists!"
"As for everyone else, I'll start with me. I happen to be studying here with a degree in biology. I just graduated a year ago, so I'm still a rookie. Our friends called the center earlier today and asked if they could see you. The doctor said ok."
Kalin's smile grew wider. "Thank you very much, Akiza. I'm still getting used to being a psychic."
Akiza nodded as she helped Kalin onto his feet. "You're welcome. I must say, you are really talented for someone who doesn't have any formal training."
The two of them walked to the waiting room, where they were greeted by Yusei, Jack, Crow, Carly, Leo, Luna, and Trudge. Kalin was amazed that everyone was able to come.
"Kalin!" smiled Yusei. "Glad to see you're ok!"
"You had us worried when you fainted," said Luna.
"Yeah, and that really emotional speech nearly gave me a heart attack!" joked Crow.
"Where did you learn to be so dramatic?" asked Jack.
"Your team is all over the news!" exclaimed Carly.
"Yeah! They're calling the Enforcers heroes!" grinned Leo.
Kalin broke out into a wide smile. "Thank you, everyone. I never expected the Enforcers to become heroes, considering our roots."
"Come and see it for yourself!" exclaimed Trudge. He escorted everyone outside the hospital, where upon stepping onto the streets, they were met with the roar of thousands of civilians. The crowd burst with applause and where chanting the Enforcer's names.
"Wow! The crowd is huge!" exclaimed Akiza.
"Never would I have dreamt of this day…" said Kalin in awe.
"Neither did we," smiled the rest of the Enforcers.
Trudge walked up to the four teammates. "Enforcers, we may have been enemies in the past, but now times have changed. You have stopped the Dark Signers and Goodwin from plunging the world into eternal darkness. You foiled the plans of Aporia. You prevented Z-ONE from using the Arc Cradle. And now you have prevented the Arcadia Movement from brainwashing the people. As a gift from the Director of Security, Lazar, it's time for a celebration!"
The entirety of Neo Domino City erupted into applause. The rest of the day was spent eating, drinking, and playing games on the streets. Many civilians, including the Enforcers themselves, participated in friendly duels. Akiza helped the medical team in case someone got too rowdy. Leo and Luna raced each other as well as some other kids in high-tech boarding. And Carly burned through an entire notebook writing all the events that transpired the past week.
Alas, the sun began to set over the city. The team walked up to Daedalus Bridge to watch the sunset as well as new plans.
"Man, I think I partied too hard," said Crow.
"Come on, Crow," mocked Jack. "You can't seriously be tired from all that."
"Yeah, well, maybe that's cause you drank like 10 cups of Blue Mountain Coffee!" yelled Crow.
"Blue Mountain Coffee is the best coffee," laughed Jack.
"It sure is!"giggled Carly. Crow facepalmed.
"Today's surely a day I'll never forget," smiled Yusei.
"I agree," nodded Akiza.
"Speaking of which," said Kalin. "Akiza, I was thinking about this all afternoon, and I have come to a conclusion. After witnessing your deeds in helping the Enforcers thwart Solar and the Arcadia Movement, I would like to grant you full membership into our group. What do you say?"
Akiza looked thunderstruck. "You want me to become an Enforcer?"
Kalin nodded. "You have all the skills. Plus, you're also a doctor." Akiza looked at the other three members if they agreed. Yusei, Jack, and Crow all smiled at her.
"I accept your offer, Kalin!" Akiza cheerfully exclaimed.
"Welcome to the group, Akiza!" smiled Yusei.
"Yeah!" cheered Crow.
"Who knew a girl would join us?" asked Jack.
"From now on, Akiza is the 5th Enforcer!" announced Kalin to loud cheers.
"Thank you, everyone," said Akiza.
Just as the Enforcers celebrated Akiza into their club, Trudge walked up to them.
"What is it, Officer Trudge?" asked Yusei.
"More interviews?" asked Jack.
"Well, kind of," said Trudge. "First of, congrats on recruiting Akiza into your team. Secondly, I have this to say on behalf of Neo Domino. Enforcers, we are in your debt. I would be honored to have you as part of Sector Security."
The 5 members of the Enforcers all looked at each other in shock. Them, a bunch of ragtags joining their former enemy? Suddenly, before anyone could answer, Kalin's cell phone rang. Kalin checked the number, smiled, and showed the others the screen. Yusei, Jack, Crow, and Akiza laughed, causing Trudge to raise his eyebrow.
"Oh, no, sir. We prefer doing things our own way," smiled Yusei. Everyone nodded in agreement. And before Trudge or Sector Security could say anything else, the Enforcers all jumped on their duel runners and drove over Daedalus Bridge, onto their next adventure.
"Let's Rev It UP!" grinned Yusei.
"Can you perform to my satisfaction?" asked Kalin.
"I won't stop until I'm the King!" yelled Jack.
"Ride like the wind!" laughed Crow.
"This is incredible!" smiled Akiza.
The End
A/N: I hope you liked my strange story. I used a lot of different references to other shows and games while making this story, and was wondering if you could find them.
