Cristina's Pov~

I turned around on my small roll-up bed that Crow had given to me. It wasn't the best of beds, but damn, I could sleep on anything from the events that had just happened. I flickered my eyes opened and looked around the small camp area. I twisted around on the small bed to look at the group around me. I saw Tank and the others sleeping soundly and Tank snoring as loud as he could. I sighed and blinked my eyes lazily at Tank. There should be no reason on why he's snoring loudly like that, he might as well be a siren for the cops. I sat up and looked at Yusei's bed as I narrowed my eyes at he said before all of us said...

"...It's a joke, if anyone wants to reconnect the Satellite, it is going to take more than dreams." I heard Blister said as I opened my eyes slightly. I was suppose to be sleeping, but I was just a bit curious on what they are talking about. What Blitz had said made everyone deathly quiet as the truth sinked in. They wanted to help out the Satellite, but how would they?

"Maybe so..." Yusei started, "But it doesn't mean I can't try... It's late, we should get to bed too..." I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I know that underlying tone of his. Damn, Yusei. We just escaped from the Police and now you have another plan up your sleeve... What is it this time? I shook my head and closed my eyes.

I crawled near his bed and felt that it was still warm so he didn't leave that soon ago. I have to be careful so that I don't wake up the others. I looked over and saw Crow out of sight. Where did he go? I crept back to my bed and grabbed my boots. I slipped them on and put on my jacket before standing up. I yawned a bit and walked to where my duel runner is and I froze and cursed under my breath.

"They all ready left..." I mumbled under my breath and walked a bit faster to my duel runner, "Doesn't mean I can't catch up to them." I looked back at the camp site with a raised eyebrow.

"Where's my helmet?" I asked myself and walked around my vehicle, "I swear, I left it on my ride." I blinked in confusion when I saw a little note on the seat. I picked it up carefully and unfolded it.

'I know you might kill me later, but I had a feeling that you would come after me and I don't want to see you get hurt. That last time you followed me, you almost got hurt when I saw dueling that guy in the cloak. I took your helmet so you wouldn't come after me. Just wait until I get back.
-Y'

I tilted my head at the note and smiled before ripping it into pieces, a new determination that filled me.

"Yusei, you are so dead." I growled under my breath before walking back and forth, "I'm going to carve you up so bad that-"

"Cristina, thank god you are here!" I heard someone yell. I looked over my shoulder and saw Blitz running over to me, "Where are Yusei and Crow, I don't see them anywhere."

"I don't know, but I am sure they are off to battle Dark Signers." I said, biting the tip of my thumb, "I would go search this area, but I don't have my helmet... I could go without it, but-"

"Safety is better." Blitz said as I nodded. We headed back to the group and I saw that everyone is awake, "Rally woke up everyone."

"I can see that." I said and looked around.

"What happens if the Dark Signers got 'em...?" Tank asked, a look of fear on his face, "That's it! I will go after them! Cristina, let me use your bike-"

"You touch my bike, I'll rip those furry caterpillars off your face." I threatened as he backed up.

"Do you think...?" Rally trailed off as Nervin shrugged.

"I don't know." Nervin replied, "Blister, you stay here in case they come back as we go looking for them, okay?" Blister did not protest as he saluted to Nervin; that lazy bastard.

"If we are going to look for them, we should split up." I said, looking at each of them. "We can cover more ground that way."

"Right!" Everyone said and split up. Rally started to run, but stopped once he saw where I saw going.

"What's up, Cristina?" Rally asked as I started to go towards my Duel Runner, "W-wait, you don't have a helmet!"

"I am willing to take that risk." I said, feeling a bit nervous. I never really went on my bike without a helmet, "Besides, I can scan the area quickly with my bike; it will be a piece of cake." I tied my hair up in a tight ponytail and look at him. "You stay safe, all right?" I warned as he nodded. I smiled and kissed his forehead. I revved my engine loudly before driving off to any direction that seemed likely to where they were headed off. I made sure I was careful on the turns, but went fast enough to actually cover some ground.

"Yusei Fudo, why couldn't you do this after the sun came up, or even after we eat?" I complained to no one as my stomach growled, "Great..." So far, after 5 minutes, there was still no sign of the trouble duo. I gasped as my arm had started to glow red and it is because of Yusei's mark. Is Yusei dueling all ready against a Dark Signer? He does not waste anytime. I thought it was the same guy, but it's telling me that it was someone else. And by 'it', I meant my mark, which was pretty strange. I wonder if the other Signers have the same feeling as me. I slowed my bike down and looked up at the sky. How am I going to track him down...? I arched my head to looked up and saw some sort of purple tint in the sky.

"That is not normal at all..." I stated, "And when something is not normal, Yusei is bound to be there!" I turned my runner around and followed the path of the purplish tint in the sky. As I got closer, more purple had started to come out of the sky. I slowed down and saw that I was at some abandon wasteland-type of area; there was a lot of wreckage. I saw that there was a straight clear path for me as I sped up my runner, squinting my eyes. Not only do I not have my helmet, but the fog is not helping; Might as well make me blind. I looked up still and saw that the purplish light had faded away.

"Wha-?" I said as my jaw went slack for a bit. Where is it now? "Damn it! Why can't everything just work out for me?" I looked down again and gasped when I saw a wall of purplish flames. I skidded to a halt as it cornered me off by turning to the right. I wasn't about to be left out! I turned my runner to the right and revved my engine, going faster than the flames. I turned a sharp left as my bike almost felt and my head hitting the pavement. I popped a wheelie as my heart was pounding way too hard. That was too much of a close call. I slowed down as I saw the two people I was looking for and I felt my annoyance return. Those idiots. I slowed down as I felt the stares on me.

"Cristina!" Yusei and Crow shouted in shock as I put my kickstand down carefully and glared at the two. I noticed someone else who had a creepy grin.

"Before I kick both your asses, whose the creep?" I said.

"It's Kalin." Yusei said as I crossed my arms... Kalin... I remember that name before... Shit, but from where- Oh yeah. The guy who went to jail; Yusei told me that story a long time ago... "He's a Dark Signer."

"No shit." I snapped as he looked over at me, wondering I saw on the edge, "You freaked out everybody at the campsite except for Blister, he just didn't care about jack squat."

"Another Signer? This must be my lucky day. Once I finish off Yusei, I'll battle you too; you will be begging for a quick defeat." Kalin said as I narrowed my eyes.

"Buddy, once you duel me, you will regret trying to threaten me; you are asking for a death wish." I retorted as he cackled.

"That quick mouth of yours will lead to your demise, weak girl-"

"Weak?" I demanded, getting off my bike, "I will stab holes through your fat hea-"

"Calm down, Cristina." Crow said, pulling me back from the flames as I took a deep breath, "Don't provoke him-"

"He's provoking me..." I whispered harshly and sighed, "Fine, I will clam down, but I am still going to kick his butt."

"I think Yusei has that handled all ready." Crow said as I smiled.

"Since the peanut gallery are done talking, let's get on with this battle!" Kalin said as I glared at him and crossed my arms, I am no peanut. I am more like a Hazelnut. "Get ready for the duel of your life!" He laughed loudly and I am positive that I just lost my hearing.

"You're about to go down. I will pummel you to the shadowy depths of the netherworld." Kalin said and it looked like his grin got wider if possible.

"It looks like the Dark Signers got to you." Yusei said and he almost sounded sad, but he kept his poker face.

"No, I am not some kind of puppet." Kalin said, showing off his glowing mark, "I am one of the guys that is holding the strings. This right here is the real deal. Not the mark on that drone you dueled back in Domino city. He was just a pawn in our... little game. We caught him and others like him." Wait, there are more of them? It shouldn't be a surprise, but I was hoping that he was the only one. I was starting to think that Kalin is secretly a nice guy or just a stupid villain for telling us this information.

"We caught him in our web, sort of speak." Kalin added as I rolled my eyes. That was a terrible pun.

"So you're a Dark Signer..." Yusei said as I looked at him worried. I knew he is good at catching on quickly with information, but maybe he is just trying to cope that one of his friend is a Dark Signer. I looked over to Crow who gave me a soft nudge and motioned me to follow him. "This is what Goodwin was talking about."

I went back on my bike and followed after Crow who was scanning the perimeter. I slowed down when we had hit a dead end.

"Oh man. What is that thing?" Crow asked as I shook my head.

"It is a barrier of some kind and it won't go away until Yusei beats Kalin. There's no way to get in or out." I told Crow as he nodded.

"Though, I might need a better look at it. I'll be right back." He said as he drove up a hill. I sighed and crossed my arms. I looked up once I heard blades spinning and I assumed it was a helicopter; I was right about that. It flew down way too low as I saw Jack- Jack! What is he doing-... Never mind. I groaned and took a deep breath. I am sure all of this will make sense in time I hope... I saw the helicopter going lower as I got alarmed; are they trying to kill themselves? I breathed a sigh of relief when they had pulled up at the last minute. I drove near where Yusei and Kalin were and saw Yusei looking up in shock, and I felt out of place...
Jack knows Yusei, Yusei knows Crow, Crow knows Kalin, and if I am guessing right, Kalin knows everyone. Is this the Enforcers group that Yusei was talking about?

"Was that Jack Atlas?" Kalin asked before laughing, "This is great. We have Jack and Crow here and we will be back together again...! It's good to see you, Yusei."

"Kalin... what happened to you?" Yusei asked.

"You surprised? I bet you never thought you would see me again. And to think, we use to be so close." Kalin mocked as I shook my head; he lost it... "In case if you were wondering, even after all these years... No, Yusei, I still haven't forgiven you after you betrayed our friendship." I am slightly confused. How did Yusei betray their friendship? I heard Kalin took a wrong turn that didn't go with the group and ended up in jail.

"Kalin, you betrayed us when you took things too far." Yusei said, reasoning with Kalin.

"I didn't take things too far." Kalin snapped with a frown, "Because of you and your weakness." This seems a bit too much of what I was hoping for...

"But I had no choice." Yusei said as I looked at Kalin. I looked up and saw Jack with a shock face. I looked over my shoulder and Crow with the same face...I definitely have to ask Yusei after this match on what the hell happened.

"We had fun back in the day, didn't we?" Kalin asked just like he went through a phase of nostalgia, "Didn't we, Crow? And Jack, didn't we have fun? But now, that's all going to end. You should have never betrayed me, Yusei."

"You had to be stopped, Kalin." Yusei said, holding his resolve together.

"I was trying to make Satellite a better place." Kalin replied, "Did you really think Sector security had our best interest in mind?"

"Well, no, but-"

"They needed to fall like the duel gangs. Satellite needed to be our, and ours alone." Kalin said, before glaring at Yusei, "But the past is ancient history. Let's start talking about your future... I'm going to send you to the Netherworld!" I looked and saw Kalin burning out before passing Yusei with such speed and turned around.

"Come on, let's duel!" Kalin shouted and drove his duel runner.

"Kalin, what happened to you?" Yusei asked as I waited for an answer, "How did you become a Dark Signer?"
Kalin did nothing, but laugh.

"Are you scared, Yusei?" Kalin mocked as I sighed; nothing is going to get to him.

"Yusei!" I called out as he turned his head towards me, "Be careful there! He may be your friend, or use to be, but you can't lose. Satellite needs a hero... that and I need to kick your butt for taking my helmet, so you better win."

He looked at me before smirking, revving his engine as Kalin went past him.

"I'll give it back to you, I promise." Yusei assured before speeding to catch up to Kalin. I smiled and took a deep breath.

So don't kill me! I am absolutely sorry for the sudden hiatus with the story, but I assure you that I will continue it for the rest of the first season of the series. That or I make my Oc die 'accidentally' but don't fret about it! I would love to hear your thoughts and concerns~
