Chapter 2: Our First Turbo Duel
It has been 11 years since the twins were taken in by Martha. I became difficult to tell Leo and Rua apart at times, making it perfect for these two to be pull pranks on Yusei, Jack and Crow. Growing up, the twins looked up to the boys that found them as big brothers. They even got into duel monsters and created their own decks (thanks to their big brothers).
Speaking of Yusei, he was currently working on a red duel runner as Blitz, Tank and Nervin were crowded around a TV.
On the screen was Jack Atlas, holding his finger into the sky as the crowd cheered for him, "Let's kick this duel into overdrive!" Jack was on top, defeating yet another opponent as the sound of a couple of Duel Runners came racing down the station tunnel. Yusei glanced at the TV as the Duel Runners soon came to a stop. We're coming for you, Jack.
The two small Duel Runners had both white and yellow lights (imagine Tron bikes) respectively with handles similar to Yusei's. Their riders both stepping off and removing their helmets, revealing two matching faces. Both boys had teal hair, both tied in a single ponytail. Their eyes were both of a hazel color. The difference between them was that one's attire consisted of a open orange hooded vest while shirtless underneath with black shorts and yellow shoes. The other wore a similar vest, but it has a black color to it with a grey muscle shirt underneath as well as grey shorts and and black shoes.
They set their helmets aside on the runners and make their way to Yusei.
"Hey, boys. How're the runners?" Yusei questioned.
Rua, the twin in the black vest, replied, "Pretty good..."
Leo, the twin in the orange vest, finished, "...Until both had smoke coming out of the engine."
"Let's see if we can't fix that." Yusei walked over to examine both the duel runners. Soon the sounds of him tinkering mixed with the sounds of the TV. The twins walked over and greeted everyone, "Hey, guys." They both said.
"Hey, Leo and Rua. You should've saw Jack's duel. He was amazing." Nervin said. This earned him a painful nudge from Blitz as the twins simply looked down for a moment. "What?"
"Idiot. You know how those three feel about Jack. Especially Leo and Rua, after what he did to all of them." Tank nods as Nervin look at the two.
"Oh, sorry guys." Rua shook his head, "You have no reason to apologize."
Leo adds, "It's Jack who'll pay when we find him. We're getting our cards back."
At that point Rally runs into the station panting. "H-hey Leo. Hey Rua. Is Yusei here?"
Yusei soon stands up, "There. They should be running fine now." He turns around as Rally run up to him and held out his hand. "I found something that might help you guys. I'm sure it'll help you go faster." Looking closely, Rally held 3 chips in his hand.
Blitz spoke up, "Hey! Where did you get those?"
Tank added, "They look brand new! Did you steal them?" Rally quickly shook his head and denied.
"N-no. I found them in the junk pile. I swear!"
Both Leo and Rua wanted to intervene, but Yusei was already ahead of them. "Hold it. Let me see those." Rally hands the chips to Yusei, who takes them nd heads back to the duel Runners. As he's working on that he comments, "These are just what we needed." Rua and Leo smile, "Does that mean we'll go faster?" Yusei nodds as he stands up.
"There. The chips are installed." Yusei said as he went to start each one up. The roar of each engine echoed loudly throughout the station.. Nervin gave a worried look at Leo and Rua got excited.
"Hey. Why don't you guys just forget about Jack? He isn't worth it in my opinion." Nervin asked.
Blitz sighed and shook his head, "Jack has their best cards. How else are they gonna get them back?"
No one was prepared when the cracks around the station started to flash. "This is Sector Security! Rally, come out with your hands up!" Blitz, Tank and Nervin all glare at Rally, "You DID steal them!" Rally begun to panic as the sirens sounded above.
"I-I only got them to help Yusei, Leo and Rua..." Rally tried to defend himself.
Their argument was cut short by the sound of Duel Runners powering up. Yusei, Leo and Rua sped past the others out the station tunnel causing Security to follow in pursuit. "You three! On the Duel Runners! Pull over immediately!" Yusei veered hard to the left nodding a silent signal to the twins as he divided the pursuing forces up. With only a few remaining forces chasing them, the twins soon find themselves at a old factory. Security was high on their tail the whole way.
"Man, these guys don't give up do they?" Leo called to his brother as they turned a sharp right and gained some distance between them and the authorities. Soon it looked like the twins lost their pursuers as they came to a stop in a enclosed area. The both high-five each other before another Duel Runner joins them. Believing it to be Yusei they waved to him.
However, soon they saw the flashing lights on the Runner, indicating it was Security. Yusei soon rode in front of the twins, separating them from the officer before them. The remaining Security forces show up and join in as the officer gets off his Runner and makes his way to them, as smug smirk on his face. "Well, well, well... If it isn't Yusei Fudo and his adopted younger twin brothers, Leo and Rua. You don't know how long I've waited to lock you three away."
"Long time no see, Officer Trudge." Yusei greeted. Leo and Rua quietly sit behind their brother as he does the talking.
Trudge looks at the twins and shakes his head, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Do you boys have authorization to have those Duel Runners? And riding them while underage? I feel sad for you three. Are you gonna come quietly?"
"Hold it, Trudge. We challenge you to a duel." Yusei interrupted. The officer stared at them for a moment, then he bursts out in laughter.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha! You three think you can out duel Sector Security? Besides, rules state Satellites are not allowed to carry cards." He took another step towards them and halted. Three decks were raised up into the air.
"Rules are made to be broken." The twins said at the same time.
Yusei made the conditions, "If we win: the twins, Rally and I are free to go."
"Now hold on you Sat-" Trudge interrupted Security. "And if I win?"
"Sir, you can't..." Trudge held out his hand to quiet his men. "Fall back! That's an order! I can handle this." Security was worried, but slowly did as he instructed. Once the four of them were alone, Yusei continued.
"If you win, you'll let Rally go free."
"And why, in the world, would I do that?" Trudge questioned.
Leo smiled, "Because we'll say that we're the guilty ones."
Rua added, "And we couldn't possibly have stood a chance against the good Officer Trudge. You'll get promoted. Doesn't that sound nice?" Trudge stared at them for a moment then grinned, "You have yourself a deal." He walks over to his Runner and gets it started.
As they all lined up, Yusei looked at the twins and asked, "You guys nervous?" Leo nods.
"A little, but I have you and Rua with me. So, I'll be fine. Right, Rua?" His twin brother nods as he revs his Runner. "Yep, same here. But I know we'll beat Cop boy here, no sweat." Smiling at them Yusei turns his attention to the cop himself.
"We'll duel under the 'Irregular Tag Duel' rules. Since it's three against one, I'll make the first move. It'll be my turn again when you all have made your turns." Everyone nods as Trudge presses a button on his Runner. "Then, I'll activate the Speed World spell card." Soon the card takes effect as the duel panels present themselves on each Duel Runner. "Duel Mode engaged. Autopilot Activated." The duelists waited as a wad of paper rolled by. As it went to the other side of the street, the Runners raced off.
"Duel!" All four shouted.

[Trudge: 3; Yusei: 3; Leo: 3; Rua: 3]

As Defender holds his shield up, a white wisp starts floating around him. "What's going on?" Trudge questions.
Rua responds, "When he's first summoned, Defender gets a spell counter on him. I place 3 cards face down and end my turn."
"My draw!" Trudge draws a card from his deck. [Hand 4]
[Trudge: 4; Yusei: 4; Leo: 4; Rua: 4]
"I summon another Assault Dog to my field." Another Dog joins the first. "Now... Let's start with that Sonic Chick." Yusei holds his hand out, "Not so fast, Trudge! I activate my trap, Scrap Iron Scarecrow."
"That would stop me, if not for my Wiretap trap card. Now, Assault hound. Attack his Sonic Chick." Yusei shuffles his trap into the deck as the Assault hound closes in...Only to be stopped by a barrier. "What!?" Rua smirked.
"Yusei may not have his scarecrow, but I do have my Depth Amulet trap card. By sending one card from my hand to my graveyard, I can negate one attack."
Trudge growled, "I still have another Assault Dog on the field! Attack!" The second hound charged at Sonic Chick and this time successfully destroyed it. "I set two cards face down and end my turn."
"My move!" Yusei draws a card. [Hand:4]
[Trudge: 5; Yusei: 5; Leo: 5; Rua: 5]
"I summon Shield Warrior in defense mode!"

"OK, I draw!" Leo drew a card. [Hand 4]
[Trudge: 6; Yusei: 6; Leo: 6; Rua: 6]
"All right! I summon Morphtronic Scopen in attack mode!" A microscope appeared and transformed into a robot. "My Morphtronics effects are determined by their battle position. Since Scopen is in attack mode, I can special summon a level 4 'Morphtronic' from my hand. And I chose my Morphtronic Radion!" A radio appears, then transforms into a robot.
"Now I tune my level 3 Scopen with my level 4 Radion, in order to Syncro summon my Power Tool Dragon!" The two monsters disappear in a bright light, then are replaced by a robotic dragon with a screwdriver in its left hand and a Digger in its right.

"Ha! Now we have Power Tool Dragon with us." Rua cheered. Leo nodded and then pointed to one of Trudges Dogs, "Power Tool Dragon! Attack his Assault Dog!" Power Tool flew by and jabbed it's screwdriver into one of the Assault Dogs, destroying it.
(Trudge=4000-2900 SP:5)
"That's all for me!" Leo smirked.
"My move!" Rua drew a card. [Hand 3]
[Trudge: 6; Yusei: 7; Leo: 7; Rua: 7]
"First, I summon my Magical Exemplar!" A black haired monk appears with blue prayer beads appears. "Next, I reveal my face down card, Magical Dimension! With this card on the field, by removing 6 spell spell counters I can send one monster on our side of the field to the graveyard. Then I can special summon a Spellcaster from my hand. So I send my Magical Exemplar to the graveyard, then I special summon Dark Magician!" The monk disappears into a casket held by chains. The door soon opens to reveal a purple clothed magician with a pointed staff with a green gem at the tip takes his place. [Rua SP:1]

"Now my Dark Magician, attack!" Rua commanded. The Dark Magician holds his hands out to cast his Dark Magic attack. But Trudge shouted, "I activate my trap, Retreat and Defend! When I activate it I can bring my Assault Dog back to my hand and replace him with a defense position monster of a higher level. The summoned monster can only be in defense mode. So I call out my Handcuffs Dragon!" A dragon that resembles a pair of hand cuffs appears as the Dark Magician attacks it.

Dark Magician's magic slams the dragon and destroys it. Trudge smirks making Rua gulp, "Uh oh..."
"'Uh oh', is right when my Handcuffs Dragon is destroyed, it comes back and equips itself to your Magician. The equipped monster also loses 1800 attack points. And thanks to my Retreat and Defend, since my dragon was destroyed the turn I brought it out, I get to draw two cards." [Hand: 3] Trudge's Dragon reappears and cuffs itself to Dark Magician, who struggles to escape. (Dark Magician: 2500-700) Rua sighs for a moment and speaks, "I end my turn."
Trudge smirks and draws. [Hand:4]
[Trudge: 7; Yusei: 8; Leo: 8; Rua: 2]
"Heh, First I activate the trap Flipping The Table! This destroys all cards on the field!" A table tops appears beneath everyone's monsters and face down cards. Then It flips over, destroying everything on the field. "And now you all take 300 points of damage for each card."
"Crap! That's seven cards!" Leo said.
Trudge continues, "And since Handcuffs Dragon was attached to your Dark Magician when he was destroyed, it comes back on my side of the field." Handcuffs Dragon returns to the field.
(Yusei: 1900 SP: 6, Leo:1900 SP: 6, Rua: 1900 SP: 0)
Trudge's smirk grows as he starts counting, "One..." He sends his Assault hound to the graveyard.
"Two..." He sends his Cyber Commander to the graveyard.
"Three..." He sends his Guard Dog to the graveyard.
"Now by sending 3 cards from my hand to the graveyard, I can special summon Montage Dragon!"

"It's attack is dependent the level of the cards I discarded x 300!"
That's a level 4, a level 3, and a level 2. So that's..." Yusei thought
"2700! Now Handcuffs Dragon, attack Rua directly!" The dragon aims for Rua, charging at him. Yusei and Leo shout, "Rua!"
Rua smirks and holds his hand out, "Not so fast, Trudge! Defender, stop his attack." Defender appears and intercepts the attack, causing Trudge to loose life points. "What!? I destroyed all of your monsters with 'Flipping the Table!'" (Trudge 2700)
Rua explained, "When there's a speed counter on the field, Defender can negate the destruction of one Spellcaster-type monster per counter."
Grudge growls and counters, "Montage Dragon, destroy Defender, the Magical Knight!" Montage dragon fires at Defender and destroys him. "With that nuisance out of the way, I end my turn. You three are finished!"
Yusei draws, "Not yet! My draw, Trudge." [Hand: 4]
[Trudge: 8; Yusei: 7; Leo: 7; Rua: 1]
"First, I play Graceful Charity! I get to draw 3 cards as long as I discard 2. Next I summon Junk Synchron to the field." A little orange robot with a white scarf appears.

"Now I tune my level 3 Junk Synchron with my level 2 Speed Warrior to Synchro summon Junk Warrior!" Both monsters disappear in a bright light. In their place a warrior with jet wings and a giant fist appears on the field.

Next I equip Junk Barrage to my Junk Warrior. Now attack Handcuffs Dragon! Scrap Fist!" Junk Warrior flies and punches Handcuffs Dragon, destroying t. " And thanks to Junk Barrage, you take damage equal to half of your monster's attack." Yusei explained.
"What!?" Trudge shouted. Leo and Rua snickered, "Looks like you can't hear. You lose 900 attack points on top of the damage you're about to lose." Leo laughed. (Trudge: 200 SP:6) Trudge starts falling behind Leo and Yusei.
"You'll regret that. My Handcuffs Dragon attaches to your Junk Warrior, lowering its attack points." (JW- 2300-1800= 500) "I end my turn." Yuesi winks at Leo.
Leo smirks and draws, "My go!" [Hand: 3]
[Trudge: 7; Yusei: 8; Leo: 8; Rua: 2]
Leo smiles and looks at his brother, "Would you like to finish him off, bro?"
Rua nods, "It'd be my pleasure."
Leo nods and shouts, "I set 2 cards face down and end my turn."
"It's my turn!" Rua draws. [Hand: 1]
[Trudge: 8; Yusei: 9; Leo: 9; Rua: 3]
I play Magician's Mirror! Thanks to this speed spell, by removing a Speed counter," [Rua: 2] "I can banish a Spellcaster-Type monster from my grave, then I can special summon another monster of a similar name. So, I banish my Dark Magician, then special summon Dark Magician Girl!" A cute female version of the Dark Magician appears with a swirl tipped staff.

2000/1700
"Ha, You think that broad can save you? My monster has 2700 attack points!" Trudge mocked referring to his Montage Dragon who roars. "Not for long..." Leo counters. Trudge glares at him.
"I activate my first trap Call of the Haunted! I can special summon a monster from my grave in attack mode! Welcome back, Power Tool Dragon!" Power Tool Dragon reappears on the field.
Trudge isn't phased. That is until Leo continues, " I also activate my other trap, Syncro Vic Tornado! Now your monster loses attack points equal to my Synchro monster's defense points." Trudge now shouts, "What!?" (MD 2700-2500= 200). Yusei chuckles at his reaction.
Rua smiles, "Now, Dark Magician Girl, attack his Montage Dragon!" Dark Magician Girl flies over, winks, then brings her staff down on Montage Dragon, destroying it with her magic. (Trudge: 0)
Trudge's Duel Runner lets out steam and comes to a complete stop as Yusei and the twins continue on their way. Yusei shouts back to him, "Thanks for the duel, Trudge. It was the twins' first turbo duel." With that the trio rode off into the night.
(Elsewhere...)
A man in a teal cloak stands on a pipeline overlooking the events of the evening, chuckling to himself as he comments, "Well, that was a good memory. Wasn't it Yusei? We truly miss you so much, big brother..." The dust picks up and he soon disappears...
How was this? It'll take a bit for me to get used to writing up duels (especially Turbo Duels). Now for Rua's deck, I decided on a Spellcaster Deck (with spell counters), since I have one myself. And I was also thinking of a decent idea for Rua's duel dragon as well as Ruka's. Speaking of Ruka, for her deck it's kind of a toss up between a Amazon/Harpy Deck (Thanks for the suggestion Earth Beast) and a Crystal Beast Deck (the deck seems a bit more for her really).
I was already coming with plots for future chapters and arcs. I also intend to include the God Cards and the Sacred Beasts, I just don't know how to incorporate them as of yet (how to summon them). I might go the Syncro route, but I just don't know what tuners would fit in there. I'm open for ideas. Other than that, that's enough rambling from me. See ya next time.
