Chapter 13
Jaune kept riding through the city with his Duel Runner, he needed to find somewhere to deal with this mark on his face, it also made things hard, he was thankful for Renegade getting his Duel Runner, Deck and Weapon back, but the least she could have done was provide him with some equipment to jam the signal.
'no don't think like that, she's done enough already, getting my, Thunder and Uang's deck's back, I'll just have to figure something out on my own' thought Jaune to himself.
But just as he was thinking this he was interrupted from his thoughts when a voice said ''hi Jaune''
Jaune jumped but then turned his head to the voice and who it was really surprised him ''Bitron? I haven't seem you in a year!'' cried Jaune.
''yeah but you might need me soon'' said Bitron.
''really?'' asked Jaune ''how?''
''oh you'll see, anyways I think it might be later… keep in touch'' said Bitron before disappearing.
''yeah course you will'' muttered Jaune sarcastically.
He then focused on driving again he couldn't let himself get caught again, not until he had settled the score, then he'd go back to Satalite, but it was now a lot harder to get left alone since there was a tracking device stuck to his face.
''great, now back to where I was before being interrupted, how do I deal with this now!'' growled Jaune running his fingers over his mark, just then two Security Runners appeared behind him 'DAMN IT!'
But just before they could do anything someone riding a Duel Runner jumped out of an alleyway and threw a bunch of small mechanical spheres which released an electric shock which shut both of the Secuirty Runners down, causing Jaune and the other person to escape, Jaune then took chance to look at this other person.
The person was a male, he looked very scruffy he the cloths he was wearing was a simple shirt, jacket and jeans with boots, but it looked like he had he slept in them for 5 months, he had bags under his grey eyes, he had greasy brown hair and a rugged scruffy stubble.
''who are you?'' asked Jaune ''and why are you hear?''
''I'm Blitzer'' said the man ''and you're the Lawbreaker I assume?''
''you assume correctly'' said Jaune.
''well then to answer the second question the Renegade sent me to help you out'' said Blitzer.
''the Renegade sent you?'' asked Jaune.
''yeah, I owe her one'' said
''and now I owe her more than one'' said Jaune.
''yeah she's use to being able to rile up favors, this one is the tenth time I owe her'' said Blitzer ''anyways she sent me to you so I can remove the tracking system both on your face and in your Runner''
''hmm I assumed they did that'' sighed Jaune.
''yeah your right they do that with all Runners they get so they can convert them to Security Runners'' explained Blitzer ''she said and she wanted me to quote this exactly 'sorry honey I'd have removed it but I'm not a mechanic' unqoute''
''yeah I'm so, sorry she made you say that'' said Jaune.
''eh it's fine it shaves off two favors at once'' said Blitzer ''come on I can jam the signal from your mark before removing, it'll only be jammed for about 2 hours 3 at the most, then when we get back to my base we remove the tracking device in the Runner and then your Mark''
Jaune nodded ''listen I'm a mechanic and a hacker, if you deal with my Runner I'll deal with my Mark'' said Jaune.
''good with me'' said Blitzer ''but we'll have to work fast''
They quickly made there way to Blitzer's base and started to work, Jaune jumping on the computer and working on the mark and Blitzer working on Jaune's Runner.
Jaune had done this thousands if not millions of times in the past year and a half, so he could quite quickly and easily do it to himself, so he managed to do it quite quickly and was about to go over and help Blitzer with the other tracking device, when he saw something.
an old photograph, the photo was of Blitzer and someone else, who had black hair, they were both cheering and holding a trophy between them, there was also a card under the photo, Jaune letting his curiosity get the better of him pulled it out, the card was Valkyrion the Magna Warrior, but it looked to be damaged, the card was creased, Blitzer was too focused on working on the Runner to see what Jaune was doing.
''so have to ask… are you and the Renegade a thing? I mean it's the only reason I can think of to explain why she calls you thinks like 'honey' and 'sweetie' so are you?'' asked Blitzer.
''you were a duelist Blitzer?'' asked Jaune holding up the card.
Blitzer immediately got up ''what- Hey put that back!'' ordered Blitzer storming over and snatching the card from his hand and gently putting it down ''come on help me out!''
Jaune walked with him ''so were you?'' asked Jaune.
''drop it!'' snarled Blitzer.
''I will if you answer my question'' stated Jaune.
''then answer mine'' said Blitzer.
''no me and Renegade are not a thing'' said Jaune.
''well yes I was a duelist but I wasn't a pro I just participated in some tournaments'' said Blitzer ''now can we drop it and get to work?''
Jaune nodded and got down on his knees with Blitzer and started to work on the Runner, they needed to work quickly, first thing they needed to do was turn it off before removing it, since it could be turned on remotely by cutting the wires on it, they then removed it and did, they then just needed to check over the Runner to make sure everything was good.
But Jaune then had to ask something that just came out of nowhere and he just asked: ''so you and Renegade are friends?''
''wow, you ask a lot of questions don't you'' said Blitzer.
''if I don't ask I don't know'' said Jaune
''I guess, but to answer that, no me and Renegade are not friends were business partners at best, I don't have any friends!'' growled Blitzer.
''sounds lonely'' said Jaune.
''look I had a friend and I made a stupid decision and I am never making the same mistake again ok!'' growled Blitzer.
''ok'' said Jaune ''your pretty good at this''
''what can I say jack of all trades'' said Blitzer ''well looks like everything's good''
''yeah I gues-'' Jaune started then stopped as he noticed something, the tracking beacon was still tracking there was still a red blinking light ''aw crap''
Just then a bright light was shone from the window ''damn it!'' growled Blitzer ''she I'm taking off three for this!''
Jaune quickly grabbed the tracking device and jumped on his Duel Runner ''just stay hear they'll follow me'' said Jaune driving off and sure enough Jaune was right, Blitzer just sighed and looked to the picture and the card.
Meanwhile Jaune was driving as fast as he could, but one was on his tail ''pull of Lawbreaker'' ordered the security guard.
''Hears a question why can't you guys just leave me alone? Why just why?'' asked Jaune.
''you know why Lawbreaker'' said the security guard.
''ok lets just do this I know the routine'' said Jaune readying the autopilot and setting a course to take around a large number of warehouses.
''number?'' asked Jaune.
''elite unit 5'' said the officer.
''ok then I'll call you five, ok then whoever takes the corner goes first'' said Jaune
''fine'' said five.
''duel'' they both said.
''my turn draw'' said Five.
Speed Counters:
Jaune: 1
Five: 1
''I'll start by summoning Gate Blocker in defense mode'' said Five.
''you elite guys seem to love that card'' said Jaune dully.
''next I'll throw a card facedown and end my turn'' said Five.
''alright, my turn, I draw'' said Jaune drawing his next card.
Speed Counter:
Jaune: 1
Five: 2
''I'll start with this, I special summon Linkslayer in attack mode'' said Jaune ''and then I'll special Summon Backup Secretary, with that I now Summon Stack Reviver, with them I'll make the a circuit to the future and Link Summon Decode Talker!''
''and now I destroy him!'' stated five ''because I'm not going to activate my trap hole, which will destroy Decode Talker!''
a large black void opened underneath Decode Talker which he slowly went into before it closed.
''Damn!'' growled Jaune, Decode Talker was one of his best monsters, he'd have to come with something else now ''well I can still activate Stack Revivers effect to special Summon Backup Secretary in defense mode, I'll throw a card face down and end my turn''
''my turn'' stated Five ''draw''
Speed Counters:
Jaune: 1
Five: 3
''I'll start by summoning my Search Striker in attack mode'' said Five.
As a figure appeared in a uniform that formed of a trench coat and some kind of blue suit, it had a helmet over its head with one red eye, the figure wore a mechanical pack that was connected to two guns that it was holding.
Search Striker
Type: Warrior
Level: 4
Attack: 1600
Defense: 1200
''now Search Striker will attack you'' said Five.
Search Striker held up one of its guns and fired shooting a blue laser blast at Backup Secretary, but then a scrape made doll appeared in front of Backup Secretary blocking the attack.
''wait what's going on?'' asked Fives.
''I've activated my Scrap Iron Scarecrow'' said Jaune ''this blocks the attack and then flips face down''
''very well then I end my turn'' said Fives.
''my turn I draw'' said Jaune.
Speed Counters:
Jaune: 1
Fives: 4
Jaune looked to his hand, there wasn't much that he could use; currently he was holding Monster Reborn and Confusion Chaff ''I'll throw one card face down and end my turn'' said Jaune, as the exited the warehouse zone, for now it was the only move he could make.
''my turn'' said Five drawing a card.
Speed Counters:
Jaune: 1
Fives: 5
''I summon Gonogo in attack mode'' said Five.
A large black sphere with a carrot nose and two big eyes.
Gonogo
Type: rock
Level: 3
Attack: 1350
Defense: 1600
''and with him I will attack your Backup Secretary'' said Five.
''then I'll block it with my Scrap Iron Scarecrow'' said Jaune.
As Scrap Iron Scarecrow crashed into Gonogo and pushed it back.
''but now you can't block my Striker'' smirked Five.
Search Striker lowered one of its guns and opened fire, but Jaune just smirked ''actually I can with this Confusion Chaff'' said Jaune.
The trap card opened and sprayed out a stream of papers that covered Gonogo and caused him to roll back and charge towards Search Striker who then fired a blast and blew up Gonogo.
Five: 4000 – 250 = 3750
''w-what just happened?'' gasped Fives.
''well you see when you attack me twice in one battle phase I can change the target to one of your monsters'' smirked Jaune ''must say for an elite your not all that good are you''
''I'll show you not very good!'' growled Fives ''one card face down and its your turn''
''my turn I draw'' said Jaune drawing a new card.
Speed Counters:
Jaune: 1
Five: 6
Jaune looked at his hand, he'd drawn his Lockout Gardna, Jaune gave off a groan it was not what he needed right now ''I end my turn''
''that it?'' asked Five ''and after all that about me now being that good, my turn draw''
Speed Counters:
Jaune: 1
Five: 7
''I hope you enjoy the facility because you're going to be there for a long time'' smirked Five.
''no he won't'' said a familiar voice, just then another Runner bumped into Fives and something attached to Fives Runner forced it to slow down and drag back.
''wow thanks'' said Jaune.
''yeah look I'm only hear to make sure you get out of this in one piece cause A, if I did I don't think my reputation would ever recover and B, I don't think Renegade would ever let me live it down'' said Blitzer ''don't go thinking were friends cause were not, I ruined one friendship I don't want more!''
''what happened tell me about the guy I saw in that picture'' said Jaune.
''fine, his name was Oliver, we were part of the tag team circuit of dueling and we were an amazing team, but one day I was offered a positon at the pro league, but he wasn't too happy'' said Blitzer ''we had a fight while dueling and there was an accident, he crashed and well, he lost… he lost his legs, I never saw him after that, I never got to apologize he wouldn't let me, apparently he never dueled after that, the last I heard from him was when he sent that card you saw to me Valkyrion, it was a symbol of why I was a terrible friend''
''no that's no it, listen I once did a stupid thing and pretty much ran off from my friends'' said Jaune ''I will never forgive myself for it, never, but I'm sure were still friends, I don't know, sometimes friends can be real idiots''
''you can say that again, mind if I come in?'' asked a voice and Five sped up ''I'll summon my Pursuit Chaser in attack mode''
a small robot in the shape of a movies sci-fi movies spaceship appeared, it had two red lights on the top of its head.
Pursuit Chaser
Type: Machine
Level: 3
Attack: 1400
Defense: 600
''next I'll switch Gate Blocker into attack mode'' stated Five.
''is he really that desperate to damage you?'' asked Blitzer.
''probably'' said Jaune.
''now Search Striker will attack Backup Secretary'' said Five.
''then I'll block it with Scrap Iron Scarecrow'' said Jaune, as the Scarecrow blocked the shot.
''well then I guess it's a good thing I have Pursuit Chaser to finish the job'' smirked Five, as the robot fired two laser beams which it and destroyed Backup Secretary ''and by the way when it destroys a monster in defense mode its owner takes 500 points of damage''
Jaune: 4000 – 500 = 3500
''now Gate Blocker will attack'' said Five.
''no it won't, because I'll activate my Lockout Gardna's effect from my hand'' said Jaune ''so now I can special summon him in attack mode and make him indestructible this turn''
a blocky robot with a square body and trube arms and a block head with little silver sharp point hands.
Lockout Gardna
Type: Cyberse
Level: 3
Attack: 1000
Defense: 1000
''wow you remind me of Oliver'' said Blitzer ''he was fearless too, he wasn't afraid to pull anything off''
''well I'm guessing it's because he had you at his side'' said Jaune ''just like how I am now that you're my wingman''
Blitzer seemed to hesitate before nodding.
''well my moves not over yet Lawbreaker!'' said Five ''and so I'll take Gate Blocker, Pursuit Chaser and Search Striker and use them to fill the Link Markers!''
''wait he's going to Link Summon now?'' asked Blitzer.
''I Link Summon Gaia Saber the Lightning Shadow!'' called Five.
A cybernetic man who looked to be a robot, riding a robotic horse appeared, wielding a lance, he had white armor while the horse had black.
Gaia Saber the Lightning Shadow
Type: machine
Link Markers: ⬅️⬇️➡️
Attack: 2600''ok yeah that does kinda make sense I'd still be able to block with Scarecrow'' Jaune said to himself.
''with that I end my turn'' said Five.
''Jaune got anything?'' asked Blitzer.
''don't worry Blitzer I can still win and your friendship made that possible'' said Jaune.
''Jaune you don't want me as a friend, remember what happened to my last friend?'' asked Blitzer.
''Blitzer I know you don't believe that I saw the card Oliver sent you'' said Jaune.
''stop it, he gave me that card to remind me I failed our friendship'' said Blitzer.
''that's not true Blitzer listen I had a friend once, she was great, but I was a big stupid jerk and had a lot of stupid macho nonsense in my head, she forgave me for that'' said Jaune.
He sighed remembered Pyrrha, her warm smile, her kind attitude and her warm personality, he was a fool to leave and do what he did.
''it's the same with you, you had a lot of stupid business nonsense in your head, don't you see he's not angry at you he's angry at himself, he thinks maybe if he didn't let it get to him and supported you more then maybe you both could have gone together at one point and the card he sent was to represent your friendship, because without you he didn't care about dueling anymore, he just didn't he wanted his best friend to succeed, it doesn't matter what road you went down he's still your friend'' said Jaune.
''I-I don't know what to think'' said Blitzer.
''just one thing I'm your friend too'' said Jaune.
Blitzer was silent for a while before smiling and saying ''Jaune I came to warn you, he's trying to run you into a police blockade''
''it's fine I can deal with it'' smirked Jaune ''now it's my turn, I draw''
Speed Counters:
Jaune: 2
Five: 8
he looked at the card, it was RAM Clouder, Jaune grinned, he had just what he needed.
''I've got a plan that I think might just work if I can pull it off to full effect'' said Jaune ''but it relies upon the bonds and friendship my cards have''
''go on then I know you can pull it off'' said Blitzer.
Jaune nodded and started his move ''now I'll start my turn by summoning RAM Clouder in attack mode''
A large sheep, it had rough wool that looked a bit like fur with a bit of green wool under the chin, it looked to be somewhat cyborg, it had a tail that looked kind of like a two clawed crane, its horns were made of black metal and circled around like a rams horns but also kind of like a spiral horned antelope's horns, both its tail and horn had circuit lines on them with green lights.
RAM Clouder and Lockout Gardna looked to one another and nodded.
RAM Clouder
Type: Cyberse
Level: 4
Attack: 1800
Defense: 1000
''next I'll activate RAM Clouder's effect, I can tribute one monster on the field to summon a Cyberse monster from my graveyard, so I'll tribute Lockout Gardna to special summon Decode Talker in attack mode'' said Jaune.
Lockout Gardna leapt up and glowed before becoming Decode Talker, just standing there ready.
''that's it?'' asked Five ''if you haven't noticed my Gaia has more attack points, oh wait that attack point boost, no matter you can't win this turn, it's over Lawbreaker, cuase now I activate Terminal Countdown, it' over because next turn I'll set four cards and send this and those four cards and give you 6000 points of damage''
''impressive, too bad you won't have a turn to use it'' said Jaune ''because who said I was going to attack with Decode Talker? No I'm using it to make a network for the future, I Link Summon Encode Talker!''
a lighter version of Decode Talker appeared, it had light blue armor with yellow circuit lines and instead of wielding a sword it was holding a triangular shield.
Encode Talker
Type: Cyberse
Link Markers: ⬇️↘️⬆️
Attack: 2300
Just then a bright flash came from the stoarage component where he held his shield.
''what was that?'' asked Blitzer.
''I have a theory but I'll have to check later'' said Jaune ''for now back to the game, I'll activate Monster Reborn to bring back Decode Talker''
Decode Talker burst forth and appeared, but it didn't seem to faze Five ''so what your just going to use him again?'' he asked.
''who said I was going to use him'' stated Jaune ''I'll now make a circuit to the future!''
''wait again?!'' said Five in shock.
''now I Link Summon, Tri-Gate Wizard!'' called Jaune.
A cybernetic human with pointy legs, he seemed to have magician garms, he wore a top hat and he held a staff.
Tri-gate Wizard
Type: Cyberse
Link Markers: ⬅️⬆️➡️
Attack: 2200
''now lets battle'' said Jaune ''first RAM Clouder will attack your Gaia''
''have you lost it?'' asked Five ''RAM Clouder doesn't have nearly enough!''
RAM Clouder charged forwards and tackled Gaia shaking it up a bit but Gaia pushed the sheep off, but RAM Clouder survived.
''Encode Talkers effect activates and RAM Clouder is not destroyed by battle, also I can choose one monster and give it attack points equal to your Gaia and of course Encode Talkers getting them'' said Jaune ''next Encode Talker will attack, but first Tri-Gate Wizard will use his ability and now the Encode Talker gives you is doubled''
Encode Talker: 2300 + 2400 = 4700
''wow Oliver pulled off a move like this in our first tag team championship, Jaune can you really pull off a move like this?'' asked Blitzer.
Jaune smirked ''just watch me''
''no!'' cried Five speeding up trying to get to Jaune ''I'm not going to let you win! I'm not letting you go! I am taking you down Lawbreaker even if I have to cheat!''
Blitzer slowed down so he could bump into Five's Runner and then grab the officer in a headlock ''No! Now back off bub my friend has duel to win!'' stated Blitzer ''now take him down Jaune!''
''I-I can't!'' cried Jaune.
''do it Jaune, just do it!'' cried Blitzer ''this is what friends are for, they take hits for one another!''
''ok Encode Talker finish this'' ordered Jaune.
Encode Talker's shield swung around and a blade came out of the shields triangle point, Encode Talker leapt forwards and slashed down destroying Gaia.
Five: 3750 – 4600 = 0
Jaune had won, but the sudden stopping of Fives Duel Runner cause Blitzer to collapse too.
''BLITZER!'' cried Jaune.
Blitzer got up, he still had Five in a headlock and was punching him in the face ''JAUNE DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME JUST RUN!'' he cried.
Jaune drove and saw the police barrier, he jumped over it, but then all the officers behind it started to use metal batons to club him, Jaune pulled out Corcea Mors shield and as he thought it was Encode Talkers shield, he started to use it to block many of there metal batons, but many more still hit him in the head, chest, stomach, back of the neck and one even hit him in the face, he managed to speed past all of them and lose them, but he was really hurt, he just couldn't stay up, he fell off and the Runner fell over skidding to a stop, Jaune then fell unconscious.
