Here's Chapter 7. I hope it was worth the wait :)

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's: Signer's Calling

Chapter 7: One Loves...Other Defends.

Yusei and Akiza finally reached Crow and Jack. But Kalin was no where in sight. Nothing was seen except a barren land. Crow and Jack's face was in sadness, they couldn't even speak.

"What happened?" asked Akiza, looking at both Crow and Jack, but they couldn't answer. Crow and Jack were still in depression, looking at the barren ground. Akiza immediately began analyzing the ground and found a card, face-up on a pile of sand. The monster was a Synchro known as Infernity Doom Dragon.

It wasn't the sight of the card that shocked Yusei, but what was with the card. Behind the card was a stone tablet that was left to stand with the pile of sand – It was a tombstone for a grave. On the tombstone was written as follows:

"Here lies Kalin. A good leader, a trusted friend, a great duelist."

The sight of the tombstone brought Yusei to his knees. Suddenly tears began to fall from his eyes, he began to hope that these tears could shield his eyes from the horror which is right in front of him – it didn't. It only made the situation much worse.

Akiza's heart began to sink. She could not bear to see Yusei like that. She felt as if she knew what Yusei was going through right now, but she had difficulty in explaining it to Yusei. All Akiza could do was sit by Yusei and try to help him out.

Akiza then began to look at the tombstone, the darkness which covered the sky made it almost impossible to look at it properly...even to read it. Akiza tried hard to look at the tombstone and discovered something that brought her to shock.

"How is that possible?" yelled Akiza as she examined closer. Crow, Jack and Yusei heard her yell and were all suddenly confused.

"What is it, Akiza?" Asked Yusei as he wiped away his tears.

"The Tombstone says that he died ten minutes ago." said Akiza. As she looked at the others, all she could see were the shocked expression on their faces. Yusei then examined the tombstone and suddenly his sadness became rage.

"You're right." Said Yusei as his hand slowly turned into a fist. "But if he died a while ago..." Yusei then got up on his feet and began to look around. "then the one who buried him might be close by."

"I'm afraid he's long gone Mr. Fudo." said a dark and deep voice from afar. Jack and Crow began to look around to see where the voice came from – but no one was close by. The small laugh could be heard, and as it increased, the darkness in the sky began to grow darker.

Yusei's arm began to hurt again, he could see his signer mark glow red and began to glow brighter as the sky was becoming darker. The pain in Yusei's arm as the light of the mark became brighter was just too much for Yusei to handle.

"Yusei!" Yelled Akiza as she saw Yusei's pain and the brightness of the mark.

"Yusei Fudo!" said the same dark voice. Suddenly lightning filled the sky as the darkness grew. "You wield something I desire, and I will not rest until I achieve it!"

"Just who do you think you are!" yelled Yusei as he held his glowing signer mark, but there was no answer. Suddenly from the shrouded sky came a figure slowly hovering to the ground."My name is Xile."

The figure seemed human but was suddenly glowing dark red symbols from his hands and his chest. Akiza and Yusei had difficulty reading those symbols at first, but Yusei immediately realized what those symbols were.

"The Signer marks!" yelled Yusei. Immediately Akiza, Jack and Crow were all stunned, they could not believe that someone else could get their hands on the marks.

"Yes, I do have the Signer marks." said Xile as he came closer to them. "However I don not have all of them." Xile then pointed at Yusei's arm. "For some unexplainable reason, the signer mark you possess cannot be obtained from you unless I defeat you in a duel."

Akiza suddenly felt scared, she knew those last words would trigger something in Yusei's mind. For some reason, Yusei had a flare of anger in his eyes.

"What's in it for me." Asked Yusei, his anger suddenly raging.

Xile began to smile, "You fell right for my trap." he thought. "Well Yusei, it's quite simple really." Instantly both Yusei's and Xile's Duel Runner appeared next to them. "If I win, I shall obtain you and your friends' spirits along with your mark."

"And what if I win?" asked Yusei. The look in Xile's eyes showed Yusei that something wasn't right.

"If you happen to win the duel..." Xile raised his hand and stretched it in front of him. The hand was empty at first but after a while, the hand began to glow dark and a deck appeared from no where in his hands. "...Then I'll bring back your friend."

"Kalin?" asked Yusei in disbelief, all Xile could do right now is nod. Yusei immediately got onto his Duel Runner and prepared his deck.

"Lets have some fun!." said Xile as he waved his fingers in an odd manner. Suddenly, everyone found themselves near Daedalus Bridge. At that moment, Xile, without warning, jumped onto the Bridge and began to ride.

Yusei, at first furious, accelerated his Duel Runner as he jumped on the bridge and began to chase Xile. Akiza was suddenly more scared than ever. "Good Luck Yusei." were the only words in her mind.

On the bridge, both Xile and Yusei are almost neck-in-neck.

"Activating Speed World 2 field spell." Yelled both Yusei and Xile as both their field spells were activated and their life points were suddenly set.

(Yusei: 4000)

(Xile: 4000)

"Lets Ride!" Yelled Yusei as both him and Xile drove off further into the bridge.

Now it's time for the duel of Destiny

Since I already have the duel planned writing the chapters wont take long I promise.
