Me: Okay, I'm back with another update.

Sky: You seem down, what's wrong?

Me: Oh, one of my siblings really annoyed me. Don't worry though; it doesn't really affect this chapter.

Sydney: What do you mean by 'doesn't really'?"

Me: You'll find out.

Sydney: You really can get on people's bad sides.

Me: Can't help it. *Evil grin* I'm not normal!

Sky: Uh… Guess I'll do the disclaimer. Shimmering-Sky doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds but she does own her OC's. *Under breath* It's creepy, but I have to put up with whatever torture she wants to put me through.

Me: Oh, guess I have to type the chapter now…

Chapter 13

"Hey, I think it's time to head back for now," Sydney said. Then she added, "You've already earned us enough money for today. Plus, it looks like it is getting dark out.

I glanced at my friend, and then at a hole in the roof that would let people see the sky. It was pitch black. "Wow, time certainly passed pretty darn fast," I commented.

"Guess it's finally time to go then," I added, before walking out of the underground arena to the place where me and my friend hid our Duel Runners.

I smiled as I thought about our Runners. Sydney had found a pretty good Duel Runner shop, and we both wanted Runners. Using the spare money we had-heh, we were practically rich-I'd bought enough parts to build two very fast Duel Runners.

As we approached our hiding place, Sydney put her arm in front of me. "Something wrong Syd?" I asked.

She nodded, and also said "I can smell a bunch of Sector Security hanging around these parts."

My eyes widened; I never thought Security people would be after us. Our escape from Satellite was completely unheard of. I mean, we flew to the City by my own means in the middle of a freaking storm!

"Okay Syd, give me a few seconds and I can see how many officers are on our trail," I whispered. After that, I closed my eyes and let my power run. I could see the auras of everyone around.

Once I opened my eyes, I calculated how many I had seen. Seven plus four is eleven, plus another seven is eighteen, plus the two groups of five is… Twenty-eight, I thought, before my heart skipped a beat.

That was the same number of members Team Non-Securities had, I added to my thoughts. "Uh, I'm guessing you forgot to tell me about part of your past?" Sydney asked.

"D-Did I say really say that out loud?" I asked, my face growing pale at the thought.

"I heard something about twenty-eight and then another thing about a Duel Gang," Sydney replied.

"Oh, well I'll have to tell you later. The thing with the number twenty-eight is how many Securities are surrounding our Duel Runners," I said.

I heard Sydney swear under her breath before asking, "How are we gonna get our Runners now?"

Hadn't thought of that… "Maybe if we run as fast as we can to our Runners and hope for the best?" I replied, with more of a question than a statement.

"Hope for the best? You've got to be crazy if you think that's going to get us anywhere," Sydney said.

Hmm, I wonder if I could distract the Security dudes while Sydney gets her Runner. I really don't want my friend getting arrested, I thought. "Okay, I've come up with a plan. I'll distract the officers while you get the heck out of here," I stated.

My friend stared at me. "So you're basically going to go get arrested so that I can get away? To *insert h-word here* with that idea," she said, not caring that she'd passed the 'No cussing' border.

I just stared at the ground while saying this; "Don't think I'm going to let you stop me. I'm a Fudo-I stick up for my friends and I'm also very, very stubborn."

My friend just stood there with her arms crossed. "Sorry you made it come to this," I said under my breath. I whipped out my Duel Disk and said, "I Summon Subterra Gorem. Hold her back Gorem."

I could have sworn I heard my monster say, "As you wish mistress," but I shook off the thought. I heard Sydney yell something that was muffled under Gorem's hand, but it was ineligible.

I hid my Duel Disk under one of my wings, knowing that my cards would be confiscated if the officers found them. It was still on, so Sydney wasn't escaping anytime soon.

I feel bad about doing this, but it's probably the only way I could get you to stay put, I thought. Soon after I chuckled, thinking that Sydney might be almost as stubborn as I was.

I have a bad feeling about this; maybe I should disguise myself, I thought. I changed my different colored eyes to a dark green. I also sharpened up the features on my face, thinking if one of my old friends got sent to the Facility they wouldn't recognize me.

The last thing I changed was my voice, making it much higher than it normally is. I just couldn't change my hair color; the two colors blended together perfectly.

"I guess it's now or never," I whispered, walking into the trap. Instantly there were sirens everywhere and officers were approaching me at all angles.

"Stop right there ma'am. You are under arrest for fleeing Satellite," one of the men said. Then he added, "There was another with you, where is she?"

I smirked and replied in my new shrilly voice, "How should I know? She took off as soon as we got here."

The officers looked at each other before a different one said, "Figures that trash from Satellite would ditch after freedom."

My face turned red at that comment. "Well why don't you just get this arresting over with, because even trash can get bored," I snapped.

Yet another officer replied to that comment. "Oh, the lady's got spunk. Why don't we show her to the men's Facility?"

The other officers agreed to that, letting off a bit of laughter as well. After it died down, I was finally taken to the Facility, albeit the one for men. As I was being walked to the place where I was gonna get Marked, I thought, Hmph, I guess I'll have to show these guys I deserve respect.

When I was seated in the Marking chair, one of the officers said "This might sting a little," resulting in more laughter from the guys that arrested me. I clenched my fists together as I waited for the so-called sting to come.

The sting actually did come, much to my surprise. Once the officer came to unhook me from the chair, he stared at me with amazement. I simply stated, "Um, was that supposed to, uh, you know, hurt?"

I got strange looks from the other officers too. I thought I was going to stand there the entire night standing in that room, but a different man walked in and escorted me to my cell.

As I was being escorted to my cell, I got crazy looks from any of the other prisoners that were awake. I could vaguely sense that they were thinking about why a woman was here.

"This here'll be your cell, new girl," the officer that escorted me said, putting emphasis on the word 'girl'.

"I'll have you know I'm nearly twenty-six years old. Don't call me a girl," I said, glaring at the officer with all my might. He noticed it and locked me in my cell as fast as he could.

Scanning the small cell, I noticed there were two beds, but neither were occupied. Good, I get my own cell 'cause I'm a lady, I thought. I shook it off though, and climbed into one of the beds. It was actually more comfortable than my bed back at the old hideout.

Tears came to my eyes when I thought about my friends. Oh Yusei, Jack, Crow, and Kalin, how I wish I could see how you were doing, I thought, before drifting off to sleep.

Me: Cool, I actually put a bit of foreshadowing in there!

Sky: Where?

Me: That last sentence… See, after this chapter I'm going to be following the actual series.

Sydney: *While giving me a death glare* That's lovely.

Me: Hey, you don't really play a line in the plot for a while anyways…

Sky: Oh great… Hmm, please review this story. Shimmering-Sky doesn't care if you make the review a flame or whatever.

*Wobbufet appears*

Wobbufet: That's right!

Me: *Thinking* Hmm, I guess I need to get a better lock…
