Hey, guys I'm back. I got in a fast update this time! I actually have time to write since I'm home and currently without a job. So go on and read to your heart's content!

The Satellite

At the con-center…

"So, you're a turbo-duelist, huh?" Jaden asked Yusei. He observed his roommates appearance. His hair was black with blonde highlights at the ends. His clothing was pretty standard with the exception of his gloves and jacket, which had these orange things on the shoulders. He also had a weird tattoo on his cheek.

"Hm? Oh, yeah, I am." Yusei turned to look at him. "You ever been in a turbo-duel?" he asked before turning back to look out the balcony doors.

Jaden shook his head. "Nah, it's not real popular outside of New Domino yet. I've heard about it and watched it some on TV but as far as seeing one in person or participating in one, it's never happened."

"So that's why it's so interesting to you," the turbo-duelist mused without turning away from the glass doors.

"Yeah, I guess. Say, what in the world are you staring at?" Jaden asked. When Yusei didn't respond he moved over to stand next to him and look out the window. The view would have been fantastic. He could see the city as it stretched out towards the ocean, shifting into the wharfs where the water met land. The downer was the large city out in the middle of the ocean. It was cold and grey looking, the complete opposite of New Domino. It also looked like it was falling apart. "What is that?"

"It's called the Satellite," Yusei said. His voice didn't reveal too much emotion, but Jaden could hear the resentment and slight endearment in it.

"But what exactly is it? What's its purpose?"

Yusei sighed. "Do you really want to know?" Jaden nodded vigorously. "Fine. You should probably sit down and make yourself comfortable. It's a long story and it's not a pleasant one."

In Duelist's Stadium…

Duelist's Stadium was one of the largest coliseums reserved exclusively for dueling in the world. Granted, the stadium was also the only one that held professional turbo-duels. The idea of dueling while on a motorbike was still new and hadn't spread out too far into the world yet.

Yugi, Yami, Tristan, and Joey stood inside of the glass elevator that was taking them up to the upper tier of the stands. There weren't any major duels going on today, just some duelists practicing, but Joey had insisted that they go to the top saying that they'd have a better view of the action. Yugi had agreed, but he was starting to think that maybe they should've sat closer to the bottom. Or at least had taken the stairs instead.

All four men stood in silence in the elevator as it ascended. They had come to New Domino as convention hosts and champion duelists. But now, staring out the glass of the elevator, they had been reverted back to their teenage selves. Except for Yami, whose teenage years had been in Ancient Egypt, so he had reverted to the time when he had been trapped in the Millennium Puzzle.

"I thought that they had just upgraded Domino," Tristan said. "I never expected this."

"Yeah, me either," Joey added.

"And I thought we were bad about letting things fall into ruin," Yami said, referring to his time as pharaoh.

They all just stared at the grey mass sitting out in the middle of the ocean. It was so large that Yugi wondered how they hadn't noticed it until now. The tall skyscrapers were falling apart, some just pointed hunks of metal near the tops. And yet, Yugi could name every single one of them. He felt the tears begin to form in his violet eyes. He slammed them shut and gripped the rail, trying to keep the salt water from running down his cheeks.

"Why'd they do this?" Yugi growled, slamming his fist against the glass. His deep voice, now nearly as deep as Yami's, was gruff from his emotions.

"I don't know man," Joey whispered.

"What happened after we left?" Yami wondered aloud. The quartet remained silent, just staring out at the dark mass floating on the water.

One lengthy explanation later…

"So that's Domino?" Jaden asked, disbelief coating his voice. His eyes were wide and he was looking at Yusei like he had just sprouted another head.

Yusei nodded. That was one thing that everyone, Satellites and citizens of New Domino, were taught from a very young age. When New Domino was built, they hadn't just remodeled the original Domino City; they had built a completely new and technically advanced city. Domino was falling apart when the city was built anyway, so instead of fixing it up, New Domino had shoved all of the riff-raff into Domino City and isolated them from the citizens of New Domino. Thus, the Satellite was created.

"It doesn't look anything like I remember it," Jaden said. He looked over his shoulder out the balcony doors, his eyes distant. "Or at least, not how I think I remember it; I was really little the last time I was there."

"It wouldn't. It's been nearly twenty years since New Domino was built."

"Wow…" Jaden mused. Then he turned back to face Yusei. "But why keep it? Why not just get rid of it?"

Yusei shrugged. "Overpopulation." Jaden cocked his head to the side, making himself look like a lost puppy. "The reason that New Domino was built was because Domino was getting overcrowded. The new city was, is, larger but it still seemed like there was too many people. So, the government shipped off the city's "negative influences" to old Domino, the Satellite."

"Negative influences?" Jaden inquired.

Yusei nodded. "People that the city thought weren't good for society; criminals, rebellious teens, the homeless…" Yusei trailed off. His memories from his childhood and more recent years were coming back and they weren't something he wanted to think about at the moment.

"You ok there, Yus?" Jaden asked. Then he added, "Is it ok if I call you Yus? I mean if it's not, just tell me and I'll-"

"Its fine, Yus is what everyone else calls me," Yusei said with a chuckle. "And I'm fine, just remembering."

"Remembering what?"

Yusei shook his head. "Oh no, it's your turn to talk, starting with that red jacket of yours."

Jaden grinned. "Well then, you better fasten your seatbelt Yus 'cause my past is one wild tale."

I haven't decided if the Satellite's going to be a big part of the story yet or not so don't ask. I felt like it needed to be included though since the only one of the main for characters that knows about it is Yusei. Oh well, review please!
