Chapter 7
Next moment Jaune woke he found himself strapped to a table, he still had his cloths on, thank god this wasn't some organ-snatching thing, ''ah look at that he's awake'' said a voice.
Jaune looked around to see he was surrounded by Security and then everything came back to him, he had just finished his duel with Jace, but then security had arrived to arrest them, they had gotten on there knees and put there hands behind there heads and then one of the security guards knocked Jaune out.
''hey Lawbreaker were wondering when you'd get in hear'' said one of the security guards.
Jaune knew what was coming they were going to mark him, Jaune knew how it worked they had some kind of laser that did it, that would carve a mark onto his face that would be imbued with a special tracker, they had strapped him down to make sure he could resist.
The Laser started a burning intese pain was then felt going down the left side of Jaune's face, all the way from the left side of his forehead, the top and bottom of his eye and then to his cheek and jaw, Jaune gritted his teeth, he wouldn't let them hear him scream in pain he wouldn't give them that luxury.
Finally when they were done they carried Jaune off and threw him in a van with a group who were being transported to the facility, as they slammed the doors behind him Jaune got up and sat on one of the benches and put a hand over the spot they had branded him, covering his left eye, he didn't just feel pain there he also felt pain in his arm, the burning feeling was still there.
-LINE BREAK-
Jace snapped awake, in his sleep wear with his arm throbbing, he glared down at it, he had this mark for a while now, he didn't know how he got it but it was there.
It was a sort of sharp curve that looked like a diamond with the edge on its lower left missing making it look like a triangular hook and three spikes on the right side.
Jace got up, he needed answers and he had an idea on where to get them, he quickly put his cloths and started to move, walking out of his room he saw his handler, Makilla.
She was almost the same age as he was, she had gotten thought her exams at security with flying colors and had actually been pushed up a few years, she was dressed very business like, she had short red hair and green eyes, she had a long black skirt, she wore a black button up shirt and a red coat.
''oh good mourning Mr. Magnum'' she said.
''mourning'' he gruffly replied ''what happened last night''
''oh you don't remember Mr. Magnum, you dueled with that Satalite Jaune'' said Makilla ''you didn't finish it though and crashed''
''wait how did you know that I didn't finish the duel?'' asked Jace.
''my apologies Mr. Magnus, Director Caesar, Director Assistant Pierott and I watched your duel and Director Caesar recorded your duel'' said Makilla.
''I'm going to see Caesar'' growled Jace.
-LINE BREAK-
Meanwhile Jaune was riding in the van, he was still holding the side of his face, the pain was still throbbing, but he didn't have long to think of the pain, as he felt someone poke his shoulder.
''excuse me sonny'' said an elderly voice.
Jaune turned to see an old man, he looked Chinese but he seemed to speak fluent Japanese, Jaune was guessing he was speaking Japanese because they were in Japan, the man had white hair that rested at the top of his head and he was wearing what could best be described as explorer gear, he wore a camoflash shirt and cargo pants as well as army boots, his face was covered in criminal marks and to the looks of his neck his whole body seemed to have them.
''yes can I help you?'' he asked polite as he could through the pain, not taking his hand off his face, he'd take it off when he could see his face.
''you ok sonny?'' asked the old man.
''yeah just hurts'' said Jaune.
''I know, I know don't worry when we get there it should stop'' said the old man ''anyways I wanted to ask you about that giant red dragon, it was your duel that caused it isn't it?''
''you saw that?'' asked Jaune.
''think the whole city saw it sonny'' said the old man.
''yeah it was me and someone else'' said Jaune not wanting to say he knew Jace ''nam'es Jaune, Jaune Arc''
''nice to meet'cha sonny I'm Uang Yang'' said the old man.
Jaune smirked at the name ''hmm I knew someone named Yang'' said Jaune.
''oh did you now'' said Uang.
''yeah, anyways you wanted to ask something?'' asked Jaune.
''oh yes, where did you get that dragon from?'' asked Uang.
''I honestly have no idea'' said Jaune.
He spent most of the ride talking with Uang, it was rather nice, until they got to the facility where they were forced out of the van and began to get a tour of the facility, according to the guard it was all men, women had another facility, Jaune saw the guards glaring at his and muttering darkly about him, Jaune was guessing they were gonna be aiming at him since he was the Lawbreaker, they were being lead down a hall towards there rooms, when they stopped.
''these are your rooms, enjoy'' said the guard.
Uang rushed in and jumped on the bed he seemed to be exited, the guard tapped on Jaune's shoulder ''hey be careful around this one, he's been hear about fifteen times, he seems to enjoy being hear, he does things to come back, so keep your guard up'' he hissed in Jaune's ear.
Jaune just paid him no mind, he lived with Nora for half a year, he could live with this old man ''well I'll let you get acquainted'' said the guard ''meal times at midday and 7 at night''
With that he left, Jaune saw there was a mirror, Jaune walked over to the mirror and took his hand off his face and looked at his new criminal, it didn't look too bad in Jaune's opinion, it was on the left side of his face, it was a straight ling going down and then took a diagonal turn to the right.
''Thoughts?'' asked Jaune.
''Hmm not bad'' said Uang
''Thanks that really does mean something'' said Jaune sitting down on the bed, the matress might as well have been a large stone slab that's how hard it felt, Jaune laid down on it and decided he'd try and take the time to get to know the old man.
''so'' said Jaune ''you've been hear before''
-LINE BREAK-
Jace strode through the building he had went to the directors tower, completely ignoring the secretary and marching to the elevator taking it to the top floor, Makilla strode behind him trying to stop him.
''wait you can't Mr. Magnum, Director Caesar is in a meeting you can't-'' she started but it was too late.
Jace shoved both doors opened ''CAESAR WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED LAST NIGHT!'' he roared.
''my apologies sir I tried to stop him'' said Makilla desperately.
''its fine Makilla I expected this don't apologize'' ordered Caesar before turning to Jace ''calm down Jace, you broke quite a few laws last night, don't worry thought everything's under control''
''then explain this'' said Jace ripping off his sleeve and show his mark ''this has started to burn''
''yes well that, that, that is a mark that shows you are destined for great thing Jace, it is the dragon mark, the Body to be exact, the symbol that shows your strength Jace'' said Caesar starting to bow ''you are a defender of man a Signer!''
''oh well guess what I don't care'' said Jace, then he noticed something on the screens ''wait you recorded my duel with Jaune- wait what's that! Zoom in and enlarge that!''
The doctor did as Jace said and he saw what card Jaune had set, it was a trap card Secret Blast!
''that's Secret Blast'' said Jace in surprise ''wait but then if the duel wasn't canceled and I just destroyed then- then- then I'd be dealt 1000 points of damage and with 50 life points that would mean… I lost… he beat me''
''yes and your undefeated streak is now tarnished'' grinned Pierott.
''Jace, this duel it never happened nobody knew it happened'' said Caesar.
''WELL I'LL KNOW!'' roared Jace, shoving Caesar aside and storming off ''where is Jaune''
''he was taken to the facility'' said Caesar.
''I'm going'' growled Jace.
''to the facility, Jace if this is a joke its not funny, Jace you can't just throw away everything we've worked for to have the chance to Duel Jaune again, but don't worry he's being made feel welcomed'' said Caesar ''look I'll explain everything to you in time Jace!''
Jace growled ''fine!'' and stormed off.
-LINE BREAK-
it had been a day since Jaune had been sent to the facility and he was honestly alright, he quite liked his room mate, he found Uang quite amusing and quite enjoyed his ramblings, Uang was kind of like that grandpa that your family only visits on holidays to stay away from him because he's crazy, yet for some reason you like, he kinda reminded Jaune of Oobleck in a weird way.
''so why are you hear?'' asked Jaune.
''oh me I collect cards'' said Uang.
''everyone does that'' said Jaune.
''yes but mine are illegal rare lost treasure cards from ancient times'' explained Uang ''also I was tresspassing''
''Hmm like me'' said Jaune ''wait rare lost treasure cards?''
''yes cards from lost civilizations like the Incans, the Egyptians, the Romans you know'' explained Uang.
''Wow that sounds pretty cool, man I'd have loved to see that'' said Jaune.
''you can see it'' said the old man pulling out a card from his sleeve, he then pulled out more and more cards ''I've been hear before so naturally I learned how to hide my cards, you see cards are really important hear''
''really how?'' asked Jaune, but as he said that the doors opened.
''your about to see now Sonny'' said Uang.
A big man then walked up and leaned in the door way, he had black hair with gold highlights, he was wearing just a plain shirt and jeans, his criminal mark was a simple golden crescent under his right eye, he was grinning too clearly he was pleased about something,
''hey there, you two new'' said the man ''good''
then a group of men came in and started to push Jaune and Uang ''come on we got something to show ya'' he said.
Jaune and Uang followed him surrounded by the men until they got to what looked like a basketball court ''what are we going to playing basket ball?'' asked Jaune.
''nah, this is a basketball field, were let out hear to get some exercise once a day, anyways not important right now, for now it serves as a duel stadium'' grinned the big man who brought them there ''these are the rules first day in everyone duels, you duel good you get respect, but don't think you'll win cause I'm the best''
''oh of course you are your Usain Thunder'' said Uang.
''yes now shut up'' growled Thunder.
''I use to watch him on television all the time I tell ya'' said Uang.
''SHUT UP STOP TALKING ABOUT THE PAST!'' roared Thunder.
''man this guy doesn't know how to take a hint does he?'' whispered one of the men.
''especially since the old days are a taboo subject for Thunder'' whispered another.
''guess what old man your dueling first, you duel well ya get respect'' growled Thunder.
''oh I get it so I win I'm in charge?'' asked Uang.
''I guess not like your gonna win'' growled Thunder.
''don't worry sonny once I win hear, we'll be the kings of this place! we'll have it all! Respect, power, women'' said Uang.
''you do realize the women are in a different prison right?'' asked Jaune.
''details, details, don't worry about it'' said Uang ''anyways I brought my own deck Thunder, it's the best, the rarest of the rare! The hidden treasure deck!''
''hidden treasure deck?'' whispered one of the inmates.
''the rarest of the rear?'' whispered another.
''oh I guess your ready then'' grinned Thunder before turning to Jaune ''and you?''
''sorry my decks not with me'' stated Jaune feeling sad he didn't have it.
''oh I know you, word is you're the Lawbreaker right?'' asked Bolt.
''I am'' said Jaune.
''you're the infamous Lawbreaker sonny, I heard of you in the city, wow two celebrity's in one day coincidence, I think not!'' cheered Uang.
''well then your from the satellite Lawbreaker, you know normally that would put you rather low, but since you're the Lawbreaker that puts you a bit higher, be grateful'' sneered Thunder ''now we'll rustle you up a deck, it'll just be random cards of course, but if your as good as they say you are it shouldn't matter''
Jaune just snarled at him, already he was reminding him of Cardin, Jaune just wanted to punch his face in.
Fortunately Uang got in the way ''now, now, lets be nice, why don't you pass me a duel disk and we can start'' smirked Uang.
''fine if your that eager'' said Thunder as one of the guys threw him a duel disk which he handed to Uang.
They quickly took there place and started ''duel'' they both said.
Uang: 4000
Thunder: 4000
''be careful Thunder the rarest of the rare thing kinda scares me'' said one of the inmates.
''don't worry it's a bluff'' said Thunder
''oh we'll see whos bluffing'' smirked Uang ''watch carefully now sonny'' Jaune just nodded.
''age before beauty'' said Thunder.
''alright then I get it, hear goes draw'' smiled Uang drawing ''I got this most recently in South America and since I think it's my favorite one so far!''
''quit bragging and play it'' ordered Thunder who was starting to get impatient.
''alright, alright'' said Uang ''I summon Crystal Skull in defense mode''
a large skull made completely out of crystal then appeared on the field, it was actually kind of impressive if not a little terrifying.
Crystal Skull
Type: rock
Level: 1
Attack: 0
Defense: 0
''wow'' whispered Jaune ''that's actually pretty incredible''
''I know it is sonny'' smiled Uang, but then the Skull surged with electricity and electrocuted Uang.
Uang: 4000 – 1000 = 3000
Everyone began to laugh ''ha, hah, ha looks like his treasure is cursed'' laughed one of them.
''of course, the ancients promised me it was real this is proof'' said Uang proudly.
''whatever you say old man, its my turn, I draw and first I'll activate Cost Down'' said Thunder ''so by discarding a card my monsters now lose two levels, after that I'll activate my Fiends Sanctuary this allows me to summon a Metal Fiend token''
a small metallic humanoid made up of spheres and appeared, it seemed to be held together by some kind of magnetic force.
''but it won't be there for long because I'm sacrificing it to summon my Cosmo Queen'' said Thunder.
A woman dressed in crimson robes and royal wear appeared in front of Thunder, she had a large helmet like crown and a skinny figure with boney hands.
Cosmo Queen
Type: Spellcaster
Level: 8
Attack: 2800
Defense:2450
''ok that's interesting'' nodded Jaune ''so he operates a spellcaster deck''
''now Cosmo Queen destroy his Crystal Skull'' said Thunder.
''please no, not my Crystal Skull'' begged Uang ''this is a priceless artifact''
''I don't care'' growled Thunder ''Cosmic Nova!''
Cosmic Queen formed a ball of red energy in her hands before she threw it burned right through the crystal skull causing it to crumble and break, the inmates cheered while Uang cried over the loss of the Crystal Skull.
''your move old man and it better be a good one'' said Thunder.
''ok then'' said Uang suddenly regaining his spark ''I draw, oh another rare artifact, its defense power is awesome, check it out I'll summon my Ashoka Pillar in defense mode''
A large pillar erupted from the ground, it must have been 50 feet tall and stood there tall and proud, it was covered in markings and ancient inscription, it was amazing.
Ashoka Pillar:
Type: Rock
Level: 3
Attack: 0
Defense: 2200
''wow'' smiled Jaune ''that's the Ashoka Pillar?''
''yes it is sonny, it was made in india, it is a perfectly crafted iron pillar made with some periodically impossible iron refining technique'' smiled Uang.
''hey you hear to duel old man or give a lecture, I was quizzed all of this at the re-education facility and I flunked every time'' growled Thunder.
'maybe he's this worlds version of Cardin' Jaune thought darkly.
''well I'd be happy to tutor you Thunder, with things like this my Spirit Mask'' said Uang as an African mask appeared on the pillar ''alright Thunder it's your turn now'' Thunder drew his next card angrily.
''is all you do brag about your cards old man cause I wouldn't brag if it was my deck!'' growled Thunder ''cause all of your cards are shit!'' Jaune glared, true the Ancient Treasures had flaws but it wasn't the worse deck he had ever seen ''so I'll do us all a favour and get rid of those shitty cards with my next move, I'll release Cosmo Queen!''
''huh why would you do that?'' asked Uang.
''to special summon my Astral Queen*'' said Thunder slamming the card on his duel disk.
Cosmo Queen was covered by a white light, but when she burst out of it she was replaced with a rather attractive slender young woman wearing black robes that were covered in pictures of the univser, the pictures seemed to move as she moved and the robes that showed her figure and royal garm, she wore a crown similar to cosmo queen but smaller and that showed off her beautiful black hair.
''now she'll attack and destroy your Ashoka Pillar with Astral Thunderbolt'' said Thunder.
Astral Queen held a hand out and a white lightning bolt shot out of her hand and hit the Pillar which crumbled and collapsed as Uang cried out in despair.
''don't forget you take 2000 points of damage and need to send a card to the graveyard'' grinned Thunder.
Uang was then struck with a bolt of lightning after sending a card from his hand to the graveyard.
Uang: 3000 – 2000 = 1000
''wow you bragged so much but your cards are useless'' grinned Thunder.
Jaune was seething now in rage at just how Thunder was saying all of this, true they didn't help like this but that was no reason to insult them, but Thunder just continued.
''and now to show you a useful cards purpose Astral Queens ability triggers and now since she destroyed a monster in battle you take damage equal to the monsters defense points'' grinned Thunder.
''oh this is just getting ugly now'' muttered Jaune cringing at the sight of this before putting his hand over his eyes ''I can't watch'' he didn't want to see Uang get beaten up like this.
Astral Queen electrocuted Uang with bolts of white lighting.
Uang: 1000 – 2200 = 0
With that Uang collapsed, his cards all scattered across the floor and everyone started to laugh, except Jaune who quickly ran over to him ''Uang are you alright?'' he asked, Uang quickly got up and started to scramble to get his cards back together.
''were you trying to make a fool out of me'' growled Thunder stomping on the last card which was the Crystal Skull, which Uang quickly scrambled too and tried to pry Thunders foot off it ''not only did you lose, but you didn't damage my life points once, your getting the worse rank of anyone for trying to make a fool out of me.
''I-I wasn't trying to!'' cried Uang ''I just wanted to show you these amazing cards, I love these cards, I love them so much, what's wrong with that!?'' Jaune was starting to cry just listening to this, it reminded him of when he first got his Cyberse Deck, it changed him forever and he never wanted to look back ''I'm not too keen on there effects, but I love them for what they are, I love them for being able to represent the mystery of the world and wonders of them, it shines in them! Please I'm begging you don't do this!''
Thunder only grinned as he started to move his foot trying to sqish the Crystal Skull card and Uang cried and begged for him to stop, Jaune glared he saw it, he saw Cardin in Thunders place and himself in Uang's place, how he useto grovel to Cardin or he'd expose him, the bullying, the torment, No! No more!
Jaune walked up and grabbed Thunder's shoulder in a painful grip, Thunder even groaned when he felt it '''back off!'' growled Jaune.
''or what?'' grinned Thunder.
''I'll make you!'' growled Jaune.
''how!'' grinned Thunder.
Jaune then kicked Thunder's left leg which collided with his right leg knocking him off his feet and to the floor, Jaune then picked up the card and handed it back to Uang who quickly took it back and hugged it crying, Thunder got up though and aimed a punch at Jaune, dodging Jaune then delivered an uppercut to Thunders jaw knocking him back and onto the floor.
''DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM!'' roared Jaune punching him in the face ''I'M NOT SCARED OF YOU I AM THE LAWBREAKER!''
Thunder got up and spat a tooth out glaring ''WHY YOU!''
''shut up!'' Jaune snarled savagely, his words weren't as loud as Thunders but they stabbed much harder and caused Thunder everyone in the stadium to tense up.
''scary'' said a guy.
''so that's the infamous aura the Lawbreaker gives off'' said another.
''now hears how things will work, one duel you win I'm your bitch and I'll do everything you say when you say it, I win you're my bitch and you do everything I say when I say it'' snarled Jaune.
''oh I like that, hey boys get him some cards'' said Thunder.
''no need I'll use this deck'' said Jaune holding up Uang's deck.
Uang gaped at Jaune this was a very big gamble he was taking and he had seen Uang's duel, he knew how his deck worked and he still wanted to use it!
Thunder on the other hand grinned at the prospect ''you sure!'' he asked.
''it's as you said: if I am as good as they say I am it shouldn't matter'' said Jaune.
''fine your funeral'' grinned Thunder.
