Me: I'm here with another chapter!

Sky: Why did you leave off with me unconscious?

Me: That's how I wanted it. Anywho, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds but I do own my OCs. On with the chapter!

Chapter 15

I opened my eyes, almost immediately rubbing my face. It stung from the impact with the floor. I looked around the small room I was in. There was a guard sitting on a chair by the door, asleep.

Deciding to have a little fun, I walked over to the guard and said "Get up you lazy slacker." He didn't stir, so I smacked him. That got the officer up.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to hear his reaction, because Rex Goodwin walked through the door.

"Ah, I see you are already awake," he said to me. Then he turned to the officer and asked him to leave. The officer quickly left, rubbing the cheek that I had slapped.

"Would you please come with me?" asked Goodwin. I nodded and followed him to a fancy limo.

"Am I supposed to get in that?" I asked. I'd never ridden in a car, much less a limo! Yep, compliments of growing up stuck in a house and then being stuck in Satellite.

"If you would," Goodwin replied. I climbed inside and wondered how the builders of the limo managed to make it. The inside was huge!

There was another man in the limo excluding the driver. He was dressed kind of like a clown and had purple hair. The purple haired clown asked who I was.

"Lazar, I would like you to meet Sky. Sky, this is Lazar, the assistant Director," Goodwin said. My eyes widened a little when I heard my real name. I was in a disguise; how could he recognize me?

My question remained unanswered as the limo pulled away from the Facility. "Well now Director, why are you taking a criminal from here?" asked Lazar. He added something else that I didn't hear, and Goodwin whispered something back.

"Sky, I'm sure you know about the policy that forbids people to enter the City without a permit," Goodwin said.

I rolled my eyes and said "Uh, yeah, everyone from Satellite knows that rule. I also have a Criminal Marker on my face to prove that I broke it."

"Then I'm sure you know about the rule that sends anyone who breaks it to Satellite? Or in your case, back to Satellite?" he asked.

That one, I did not know. But I really didn't want to return there after I'd lived in the City for three years.

"You, on the other hand have a choice," Goodwin said.

"I have a choice?" I asked. And then I added "So what's the choice other than returning to Satellite?"

The limo stopped before I could get an answer. "We're here," Lazar said. I climbed out of the limo and gawked in amazement. If I thought the limo was huge, then Goodwin's mansion was gigantic!

"No need to stand out here all day," a voice said, breaking me out of my trance. I followed Goodwin and Lazar inside to a room labeled private.

"As you asked in the limo, your other option allows you to stay in the City. The only thing you would have to do is participate in the Fortune Cup," Goodwin said.

I raised an eyebrow at that one. "So I just participate in a little tournament and I'm home free?" I asked. "There has to be a catch."

Goodwin pulled up a screen with four faces on it. "Sky, I'm sure you've heard of the legend of the Crimson Dragon," he said. I nodded, as that was one of my favorite bedtime stories when I was younger.

"Yeah, there were these people who worshipped this Crimson Star and the star granted them powers to fight off evil. Five people also had legendary dragons that would merge to become the Crimson Dragon. Every 5000 years there's this huge battle of some sort. You mean it's been 5000 years since the last one?" I asked.

"It has. These four on the screen are the ones we suspect to be Signers," Goodwin said.

"We already know that Jack most definitely is one," Lazar added. I looked closer at the screen. There was a girl named Luna, an older one named Akiza, the one and only Jack, and then there was Yusei.

"My brother is a Signer?" I asked.

"We only suspect him to be. But that is what the Fortune Cup is for," Goodwin replied. Then Goodwin pulled up another screen with a person that appeared to be trying to do a ballet.

"Zigzix, would you stop spinning while you work?" Lazar asked.

The strange man, Zigzix jumped about three feet into the air. He obviously hadn't been expecting the video call. "O-Oh it's you Director," Zigzix said.

"How is the detector coming along?" Goodwin asked.

Zigzix started some long explanation about it, and finally ended it by saying he should have it done by tomorrow.

"Is that the guy who took over my dad's work?" I asked.

"I'm sorry Sky. Zigzix was the only one who wanted the job," Goodwin said.

"I still think he's a nut job," I muttered.

About five minutes later I made up my mind. "I guess I want to participate in the Fortune Cup," I said. Goodwin seemed pleased about my decision.

"For the next few days you can stay in the guest room," Lazar said. Then he called for someone named Mina to take me to it.

"Um, I need to go get something first," I said. "When I get back I'll go to the room." I wanted to get my Duel Runner and my old clothes.

"If you're going to leave, make sure you take a key card with you," Goodwin said. He handed me one. "That way, the guards will let you in."

I thanked him, and left to find my Duel Runner. I wonder if I'll see Sydney while I'm at it, I thought.

Me: Hmm, I think this is one of my better chapters.

Sky: Obviously. There wasn't anything bad happening in it.

Me: Except to the Security dude that you slapped.

Sky: Yeah, except to that guy. When do I get to see Yusei again?

Me: Uh, I don't know.

Sky: Why not?

Me: I haven't typed the next chapter yet.

Sky: Well then get to it!

Me: Fine. Please review and I am open to flames and anything else. If it helps me get better, then it makes me happy!
