LoyalFire: Zzzzz...

Evan: Is she OK?

Dawn: She had a volleyball summer camp last week and has another one this week.

Evan: Oh.

Dawn: Anyway, I'll go ahead and write the next chapter. LoyalFire doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, just me, Evan, and our cards(Hopefully she will write a duel soon).

Dawn's POV

The next day, we all had to go into a big room so Armstrong could talk to us about an opportunity of some kind. He said that Goodwin wanted to tell us something. Then Armstrong made everyone leave except Evan, Yusei, and me. Goodwin told us that he needed our help to figure out something, but I didn't like anything about this guy.

"So," said Goodwin, "What do you say?"

"I'll take my chances," I said.

"Ditto," said Evan.

"No thanks," said Yusei.

"Ok then," said Goodwin.

After that talk, we were transferred to 'The Hive'. It was only because we refused Goodwin's offer. I was put in the same room as Yusei, but, Evan was put in a different room.

"I wonder who Evan's with." I said.

"Don't worry," said Yusei, "I'm sure he's fine."

"Okay." I said.

"I've been wanting to ask you this for a while, Dawn," said Yusei.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Where do you and Evan come from, because when I told you guys my name, he freaked out a bit." said Yusei.

"Well," I said, "We come from somewhere really far from here. Dueling is just a game, and almost no one plays it. The cards me and Evan have are just ones we made up back home."

"W-what?" Yusei said. I bet he couldn't believe that the game he based his life on, was almost nothing in the real world.

A while later, Armstrong threw Tanner in the middle of a platform. Then he addressed everyone. "I heard Tanner was sneaking in magazines but I know he couldn't do it alone. His buddy has one hour to reveal himself or all of you get punished." That earned him a lot of complaints from the other prisoners.

"There are no magazines, and we both know that. Seriously, get real." I said.

"So you're saying that I'm just punishing Tanner because I want to?" Armstrong asked.

"You're abusing your authority, and Tanner did nothing wrong!" I yelled. And I have no idea why.

"You just accused me of being cruel and unfair, and that really hurts my feelings," said Armstrong, "C'mon, show me some love, say your sorry Satellite."

No way am I gonna apologize to that gordo. I thought. There were a few seconds of complete silence.

"So that's how we gonna do it," said Armstrong, "Well, I'm not just going to stand here and let you accuse me of being cruel and unfair in front of everyone. To prove I'm reasonable, how about I let you duel me where everyone can watch. If you win the duel, I'll pardon Tanner's offense. But, if I win-"

"-Then no one but me gets put in lockdown." I interrupted.

"You got a deal, girlie," said Armstrong, "We duel tonight at 8:30 sharp. Don't be late."

"Don't worry about that, I won't be."

Yusei puts his hand on my shoulder, "Are you sure about this?"

"No worries!" I said, "After all, it'll give me a chance to practice my skills."

"But you said where you come from, nobody duels. So your first duel has your freedom on the line? I don't like the sound of that." said Yusei.

"All the more reason to win!" I replied as I smiled and winked at him."

Suddenly, two guards dragged Yanagi up there and showed Armstrong that he was hiding his entire deck. Armstrong took Yanagi's cards without a second thought. He's such a jerk, I thought. Armstrong then said, "Enjoy your possible last hour of freedom. Stretch your legs and enjoy it while you can." And then he walked away.

All the doors to the cells opened and the first thing Yusei, Evan, and me did was run to where Tanner and Yanagi were. All Tanner said was, "What were you thinking? Challenging Armstrong like that."

"Seriously Dawn," said Evan, "What gives?"

"I couldn't just stand there and let him do that," I said, "I was gonna regret it if I didn't do what I did."

"But you don't have a deck, and you've never dueled before!" whispered Evan.

"Neither did you, and you beat Tanner," I whispered back.

"But this is different!" said Evan.

"Whatever."

"Hey Dawn!" this one guy called. He was one of Tanner's buddies. "Some of us want to talk to you about something."

Wonder what it could be, I thought. He led me to the platform where all these other guys were.

"Thanks for risking your freedom for us."

"Yeah, as thanks, here's my favorite card!"

"And mine!"

"Mine too!"

Turns out they all had one special card that they couldn't get rid of. They let me borrow them for the duel against Armstrong. "I-I don't know what to say guys, thanks." I said.

"No problem just beat Armstrong for us!" another guy said.

"'Kay," I said, "I will!"

LoyalFire: *yawn* That was a good nap! *Looks at the computer* Hey! What's with the short chapter?!

Dawn: Well EXCUSE me! *Turns away*

Evan: She wrote the chapter for you.

LoyalFire: *eyes wide* Really?

Dawn: Yes, really.

LoyalFire: ...*mutters* You realize I have to write another chapter 'cause this one is kinda short.

Evan: *interrupts* Anyway, see you later everyone!

LoyalFire: *apparently over her shock/annoyance* Remember to R&R!
