Chapter 24 : Mission Impossible
Yuko didn't know what to say. He had read books and magazines about Zane and his victories when he was younger, but stopped reading them when he learned that Zane went missing. He even remembered watching the ceremony on Tv which had taken place in the Kaiba Dome, but now apparently after 47 years, Zane is in fact the criminal which had tried to kill Yuko!
Yuko stared blankly at Sayer, and then lowered his head to look down at his boots. "Is rescuing a dueling hero/criminal really worth the risk?" thought Yuko, trying to come up with a decision, as he fiddled around with fingers. He then remembered Zane's attitude back at the security prison, and how he had smiled and winked at Yuko.
Yuko took a deep breath and began scratching the back of his head uncomfortably. Ok, I'll do it. I'll help him to brake out, but this better be worth the risk!" grunted Yuko, and Sayer clapped his hands in approval.
"Don't worry, my friend. Here's the cheque that you'll be receiving if you succeed", said Sayer cheerfully, and handed Yuko a small white piece of paper.
Yuko's eyes widened with astonishment as he studied the long number written down.
"W...well, I must say that's...very generous of you", stuttered Yuko, and Sayer smiled at the compliment.
"Oh and one more thing", said Sayer quickly, and handed Yuko a card. It was a Spell card which read "Emergency Provisions ". Yuko took it and looked at Sayer oddly.
"I noticed that you have 4 ribs there that need fixing, therefore this card will help you if you need any extra bandages", stated Sayer grinningly and Yuko looked at it, a little confused about what he meant, but nodded in gratitude.
He then put the card in his pocket and turned back to stare into Sayer's mysterious eyes. "So what's the plan?"
It was now midnight, and Yuko was now just outside the the security sector prison, hiding in a public bush. He was wearing a pair of thick black trousers, a black jumper and a black hood over his head which Sayer had given him for this mission (though he decided to keep his rainbow colored socks on since they were comfortable).
Yuko had already passed by at Yusei's to tell him that he already went to visit the criminal and that he would come home late tonight. Yusei and Akiza didn't really approve, but let him go without asking too many questions.
It felt bizarre, to go and break the law so to aid in a jail break, just to get some answers. "Wow, I really must have nothing better to do", commented Yuko to himself, and pulled out a piece of paper with the instructions that Sayer had given to him before leaving.
Yuko shone a small torch at it and read the first instruction - Get on to the roof of the prison without being seen by anyone.
Yuko shrugged. "Easier said that done", he thought and noticed something written in brackets- (Use Zane's duel disk).
Yuko opened his rucksack and pulled out the strange duel disk with only one monster card zone, attaching it quietly to his left arm. He then took out his deck out of his black deck box (which was firmly hooked on to his belt) and began to look through the cards for anything that could help him get up on to the roof (given that it wasn't too strong). As Yuko quickly shuffled through his deck, he found a card called "Speed Bird".
"Perfect", he thought, and without hesitating he summoned the monster on to the duel disk.
Suddenly a flash of light burst out of his duel disk and a medium sized bird flew out of the card and landed on the ground in front of him. It looked very similar to a dinosaur and it seemed rather strong, but Yuko had expected the monster to be a little bigger. As Yuko was about to remove "Speed Bird" off the monster card space (considering that the monster was too small), he heard a pair of approaching footsteps and assumed that the light from his disk had caused suspicious security guards to come and investigate. Yuko had no choice, he'd have to rely on "Speed Bird".
"Can you carry me?" asked Yuko quickly to his monster, and the giant bird flew up on to Yuko, digging it's claws into his shoulders, causing him yelp in pain. The next thing Yuko noticed was that his body began lifting itself off the ground and was getting dragged into the air above the security headquarters.
Yuko gasped, and started to panic at the height he was now at and hissed lightly as the claws dug deeper into his shoulder. Yuko then pointed over at the prison roof, trying to directed the giant bird.
"That way", he groaned, trying to overcome the pain and his bird swooped down at incredible speed, causing Yuko's hood to almost fly off his head. The bird then stopped a few feet above the flat roof and dropped him, causing Yuko to land face first on to the concrete floor.
Yuko moaned softly and felt the giant bird land on his back, squawking happily. "Well done", he mumbled, and removed the card from his duel disk, causing his monster to turn into a white glowing ball and return to it's card.
Yuko got up slowly and felt a small bump on his forehead. "Crap", he thought and lifted one of his hands to rub the bump lightly. Suddenly, he felt another jolt of pain shoot from his shoulders. He noticed holes in his jumper and realised that the claws of his monster must have penetrated his skin, causing some blood to drip out.
"Well, that's just perfect", thought Yuko sarcastically and sat up, putting the card back into his deck. "Though at least, I'm now on the roof".
Yuko looked through his deck again and noticed the Spell card "Emergency Provisions". He had thought about trying it at some point and placed it over the monster card zone. Nothing happened.
"Hmm, Ok. Now I know that that's the zone which is only for monsters", he stated, and slid the card into one of the Spell and Trap card zones encircling the monster card zone.
A small light beamed and a first aid kit popped out of the light, dropping out in front of Yuko.
"Wow, now that pretty impressive", Yuko told himself and opened the box, to find it filled with all sorts of medical remedies, bandages and plasters. Yuko smiled and removed his black jumper, relieving his white T-shirt now stained with blood. He removed it and washed his wounds with disinfectant, plastering the holes on his shoulders afterwards.
Yuko then closed the box and removed the Spell card from it's zone. The box quickly vanished, but the bandages he had put over his shoulders stayed.
"Hmm, so the content stays", he thought to himself happily and put his T-shirt into his rucksack. Yuko put his black jumper back over him, covering his naked torso and continued to search though his deck.
He soon came across D.D Warrior Lady, who was still wearing his favorite black jacket. Yuko chuckle quietly to himself and summoned her.
D.D Warrior Lady immediately appeared in front of him, kneeling as she held tightly on to a laser sword. She looked up noticing Yuko and bowed politely. "What are your order's master".
Yuko pointed over to the glass at the center of the roof which allowed light to enter, illuminating the inside of the prison. "I want you to make a hole in that glass without smashing it. I want the process to be discreet", commanded Yuko. The girl nodded at the command and walked hastily towards the roof window. She then knelt down against the glass and began to cut easily through the window with her laser sword, forming a circle while keeping the other hand over the circular glass plate that she was creating.
Yuko walked over to observe the work and notice the circle being complete, but instead of the glass plate falling inwards, the girl lifted the glass with her glove stuck firmly against the glass plate, and placed it beside the hole which she had created.
"It is done, master" she said formally, and Yuko looked at her, amazed by how she had completed her work so effectively.
"Wow, that was very well done!" complimented Yuko, causing D.D Warrior Lady to blushed lightly. "Um..um th...thank you m...master", she stuttered and kneeled. "I was only obeying orders".
Yuko tugged on to the jacket and pulled the girl back up quickly, causing her to nervously looked back up at Yuko, confused by the sudden gesture.
"You don't need to be bowing down to me all the time. Just act natural. I'm just a friend! Ok?", mentioned Yuko as he sighed , catching D.D Warrior Lady by surprise, who stared oddly into Yuko's comforting chestnut eyes. "Friend?"
"Oh, and one more thing. Do you have a name? I mean, like a proper name?" asked Yuko curiously, and the girls eyes widened.
"Umm...no, not really", she replied nervously, not used to having this sort of conversation.
Yuko shrugged. "Well, that's no good. In that case, let me give you one!" he said cheerfully, and started to think of what name best suited D.D Warrior Lady.
"Master. It's ok. I don't really need a name. You can just call me D.D Warrior Lady", she said shyly.
"Nonsense. I have time. It's only 12:39pm. Now let me think", murmured Yuko, his palm held up against his chin.
"What will your new name be?".
D.D Warrior Lady stood in front of her master awkwardly while Yuko was trying to pick a name. Suddenly a name popped into Yuko's and his expression enlightened.
"That's it! It's perfect!", he said happily and turned back to face the girl. "Your name will now be Sakura!"
The girl looked at Yuko's kind smile in astonishment and blushed. "Sa...Sakura?"
"Yep! Well, do you like it?" asked Yuko excitedly.
D.D Warrior Lady went silent as the name seemed familiar to her, and all of a sudden, an old forgotten memory flashed before her eyes:
~Quickly! This way so that we can open the portal!~
~Master...please...be careful...~
D.D Warrior lady jerked as she snapped back into reality.
"Hey...are you ok?" asked Yuko, a little worried about the girls sudden reaction.
D.D Warrior Lady didn't say anything for a moment, confused by the sudden vision that had just been revealed to her. She then looked up at her master and took a deep breath, trying to ignore the strange occurrence.
"Already my master has given me clothing and now he's picked a name for me? What's with this master? Why is he treating me as if I were a human? All other her masters didn't. This ones...different", she thought, and began to smile lightly.
"I...I like it, master", she replied agreeably and Yuko smiled proudly.
"Well then Sakura, how would you advise me to get down into the prison facility without dropping down through that opening in the window and turning into a pancake", said Yuko, pointing at the opening made by Sakura.
Sakura handed out her hand. "May I please search my masters deck", she asked formally.
Yuko nodded and handed his deck to her. Sakura looked through it briefly, and eventually pulled out a card, holding it in between her two main fingers, revealing it to Yuko.
Yuko recognized it instantly as he shone the torch over it. It was "Scapegoat".
Yuko smirked and chuckled lightly, scratching the back of his head. "Um, I'm sorry, but I don't see how that will help me?" asked Yuko grinningly.
Sakura reached out for Yuko's arm and inserted the Spell card into the Spell and Trap card zone of the duel disk. Another flash of light appeared and 4 floating goats floated out of the card, each about the size of a large beach ball.
Yuko eyed them closely and sniggered at them in amazement. "They float", he commented, and held out his hand to stroke one of them. The fur was surprisingly soft, which caused Yuko to get goosebumps, causing him to giggle softly.
Sakura felt one of the goats land on her head and looked at Yuko indifferently. Yuko glanced at the girl and grinned uneasily.
"So you want me to sit on them or something?" Yuko joked.
Sakura nodded.
Yuko's smile quickly faded. "Wait. Really?"
After some convincing from Sakura, Yuko decided to try and sit on the blue goat, causing the 3 other scape goats to float under him to help support Yuko's weight. To Yuko's surprise, he started floating and gripped tightly on to the Scape goat soft fur, a little nervous with heights.
After a few moments, Yuko took a deep breath and looked at the opening in the window. He then turned to face Sakura. "You ready to go back?" he asked innocently as he pointed at Sakura's card.
Sakura nodded and turned into a small ball of light which hovered back into the empty imaged card. Yuko took the card off the monster card zone and noticed something different about the card, which made him smile. The cards name was no longer D.D Warrior Lady, instead it now read "D.D Sakura" written in gold writing.
"Wow, now that's something else!" he commented gleefully, and began to lower himself through the opening, entering the prison so to complete his dangerous mission.
Yuko: Yes! I know it's a dangerous mission, but it was totally worth it! XD Don't forget to Review! Follow! Or add to Favorites! :D
Jack: Oh come on! Now that's what I call cheating! _
