Yusei: Oh boy, I'll do the disclamier Quazarkmax doesn't own yugioh 5ds but he does own this story line
Chapter 4: Your Not Them
After reaching the resistance's base Mina and Trudge lead Yusei to a viewing room. Yusei looked down and what he saw blew his mind, five people were in a training room, two young and three teenagers. Each and every one looked exactly like there originals it even looked like the clone of Akiza had inherited her originals powers what with her blasting her duel bot to smitherienes, even Luna seemed to be talking to thin air.
"There's no doubt thats definatly them" he thought. "How long have they been training for?" he asked while turning to face the two ex security officers.
"Nearly six months now, they grew to the stage their in now within the first two months they appear to have reverted to a state in which their original selves were before they passed away. They are still growing just at normal rates for teenagers" Yusei nodded.
"Any personality deviation?"
"What?" Was all Trudge could say clearly not understanding any word of what Yusei just said, Yusei rolled his eyes.
"Do they have similar personalities to the originals or are they like totally different people?" Yusei asked restating his original question so Trudge could understand Mina shook her head.
"No deviation at all there exactly the same both phyisically and emotionally", Yusei turned back to the viewing glass.
"It seems you were right the resistance has made some significant breakthroughs". Yusei took a quick glance around when he felt a hand on his arm which turned out to be Trudge.
"Come on your here to meet them anyway" Trudge said as he pulled Yusei around and started steering him towards the door.
"I can walk Trudge" Yusei said as he yanked his arm from Trudges grip.
"Oh, of course sorry" he released the dragon head signers arm then proceeded to lead the way down to the training room.
Training Room
As the three adults entered Mina called over to the five clones. But before they did Yusei noticed all five had signer marks exactly the same as their original versions.
"They really have perfected this technology" he thought as an anger at the sight of them began to burn inside of him.
"Everyone" Mina called over. "Come here we have someone we would like you to meet" they all looked round to see who was calling them.
"Mina!" Both twins shouted as they ran forward to hug her legs. The others walked over more calmly with Akiza waving with a curious look on her face, Crow flashing them a grin while sending them a thumbs up while Jack folded his arms scowling.
"Everyone this is Yusei" Trudge said while motioning over to him. "He's your new training partner" Yusei glared at Trudge his temper starting to get the better of him.
"You said you only wanted me to meet them Trudge" he said as he narrowed his eyes. "What else are you keeping from me?" All five clones looked to Trudge and were surprised to see him visably nervous.
"Nothing Yusei we just didn't tell you that part because we knew you'd refuse" Yusei was getting visably more and more annoyed with both twins cowering behind Mina out of fright.
"Never forget how you got that scar on your face Trudge" he said coldly as Trudge's hand moved to the scar on the left side of his face tracing it nervously. "I may have given you that in an accident but over the last six years i've changed so if I find out that your hiding anything else from me I won't hesitate to give you another". All five clones were in shock they had never heard anyone speak to Trudge like that before much less discuss how he got his scar, Mina on the other hand was gobsmacked.
"Yusei please calm down we know how the last six years were difficult for you but now were trying to put things right" Jack scoffed.
"Yeah right" he said his voice thick with an Australian accent just like his original self. "He's probably scared of us" Yusei raised an eyebrow at him.
"Oh and why would I be scared?" he asked his face having regained its unreadable expression.
"Simple, you've heard about us the legendary signers of the crimson dragon with our power its understandable you would be scared doesn't make you any less of a whimp though" Yusei raised his eyebrow even higher before turning to Mina and speaking as if they wern't even there.
"Your right no personality deviation, he's as arrogent as the original" Jack was furious with him now whoever this Yusei was he wouldn't last as far as he was concerned.
"Hey you can't ignore me i'm Jack Atlas!" he yelled at him, Yusei looked at them all with anger in his eyes.
"No your not", he spat "I knew Jack Atlas and he died six years ago! And as for that remark about me being scared of you because your signers!" He pulled off his glove while rolling up his sleeve of his navy blue jacket revealing his mark of the dragons head. "I'm the lead signer!" he unrolled his sleeve pulled his glove back on when Crow called out to him as he turned to leave, leaving all the clones shocked that they had just met their leader and by the looks of it he hated them.
"Hey man cool it what have we done?" Yusei stopped turned to face them glaring at each one in turn all five of them noticed that he paused on Akiza and seemed to calm down, he turned back around before answering.
"Nothing" he muttered through clenched teeth.
"Yusei where are you going?" Mina called.
"Away" and with that he walked out without another word to any of them.
"Well that was ... different" Akiza said staring at the door.
"Question" Crow called tearing his eyes away from the door. "Why's he going off like that?"
"Its difficult for him" Mina muttered. "We'll go find him don't worry" she and Trudge set off after Yusei with the clones following making sure they wern't seen or heard by their superiors.
20 Minutes Latter
Mina and Trudge still hadn't noticed the five clones tagging along behind them.
"Man this Yusei sure can move fast" Crow muttered as quietly as he could so as not to attract the attention of Mina and Trudge.
"I don't know why were bothering" came Jacks voice from the back of the group. The blond didn't mind people being snappy with him just as long as he knew why.
"Because I for one want answers" Akiza whispered. "You must have noticed when he looked at us all he looked at me differently from you guys I want to know why" they nodded. As they rounded a corner they saw Mina and Trudge enter a room and leave the door ajar, they krept forward to peek through the gap and found it to be Yusei's living quarters with all three adults standing with their backs to the door looking at something.
Inside Yusei's Room
All three adults were looking at the picture of team 5ds during the WRGP (which Yusei had brought with him) in silence until Mina started to speak.
"Yusei what happened back there?" He turned to look at her.
"They look just like them" but this just left her and Trudge with confused looks on their faces.
"But whats so hard with teaming up with them to fight Lazar?" Trudge asked.
"Its not that its ..."
"Its what?"
The Corridor
All five clones were holding their breath wanting to find out why Yusei's attitude towards them was the way it was.
Inside Yusei's Room
"When I look at them now I can see it"
"See what?" Mina asked. Yusei looked her straight in the eye as he answered.
"All the memories of us together, the memories of all the pain and grief over the past six years when they were taken from me. For so long these were all I had to remember them now I see them I have to remember that their not my friends however much they might look, sound and act like them. And that she's not her." As he said this he pulled out the his friends ace monsters that he had kept safe for so long.
The Corridor
"She's not her what does he mean?" Leo asked everyone shrugged while Jack looked furious.
"Never mind that he's got our missing cards" he made a movement to get up but Akiza pulled him back down
"No I still haven't gotten my questions answered yet" reluctantly he knelt back down to listen.
Inside Yusei's Room
"No wonder we couldn't find their signer dragons you had them all the time" Trudge chuckled.
"I also had this to remember Akiza by" Yusei said as he pulled out the engagment ring.
"Yusei ..." Mina muttered as she shed a tear.
"When I saw her it made me remember the night I proposed. On her birthday up at the city overview in the light of the full moon just after the special fireworks display I organised finished. When she said yes I was so happy then no less than a month later she was taken from me"
"I'm sorry" Trudge muttered staring at the floor. "We didn't think that this would all be a bit much for you" Yusei shook his head.
"No its not that its something else as well as all the memories"
"Then what is it?" Mina asked.
"When I saw those memories I picture'd their faces seperatly and that just reminded me".
"Of what?"
"The hole they left, the even bigger hole she left. All the pain that filled it, I just don't know if I could face that everyday"
The Corridor
Jack, Crow, Leo and Luna were all staring at Akiza, she had turned bright red.
"Well ... Now we know why he looked at you differently" Crow said while trying to ease the tension. They all turned back to the room when Mina spoke again.
Inside Yusei's Room
"It won't stay that way they'll help you we all will" Mina said Yusei shook his head again.
"When they died that part of me died with them. It'll never come back not now" he turned as he felt a hand on his left shoulder which turned out to be Trudge.
"I'm sorry" he said while tears welled up in Mina's eyes.
"Its okay, i'm sorry to about the whole you know ... scar thing" Trudge flashed him a smile
"Don't worry about it, but you gonna be okay?" Yusei's smile vanished.
"Yeah it'll just take some time to come to terms with it" he sighed.
The Corridor
All five clones were staring at the floor in silence they had never imagined that their very being would cause their leader so much pain.
Inside Yusei's Room
"Thanks guys i'll start training them tomorrow, oh and you do know that they have been listening to the entire conversation just outside the door". All the adults suddenly heard a scuffling then five sets of footsteps sprinting away in different directions on the other side of the door.
"I'm so sorry Yusei they know its past their curfew"
"Its okay but do you two mind I need to think right now". She and Trudge nodded then exited the room. Yusei followed stepping into the room opposite his to work on his runner.
Akiza's Quarters
She ran in and slammed the door trying to catch her breath.
"How did he know we were there?" she thought. "He is good but i'm going to get my card tomorrow"
