A/N: I OWN NO PART YU GI OH 5DS! ALL RIGHTS GO TO THE CREATORS!

Hey, people! Sorry it's been so long. My computer's hard drive died on me so I've been using my dad's computer to write this. This is the Bonds Beyond Time movie bit in the story. Just like I did in Celestial Signer: Meklords Unleashed, this is just going to be a small amount of chapters in the story. Though it is a crossover to some extent, there's no reason to make it its own story when it's so short, so I'm just integrating it into this one story. Don't be too harsh about it. Anyway, enjoy the chapter(s)!

Chapter 42: The Time Jump

Era's POV

I stood as if I was a ghost, transparent to the eyes but I could feel the heat of the surrounding fire and sweat dripped down my face. I watched my surroundings go up in flames by attacking dragons. And at the center of the attacks, a figure jumped across the rooftops dodging attack after attack. One barely missed him before he jumped through a building window.

He fell out of the smoke and landed on the ground. I immediately recognized him. "Jaden?!" I exclaimed aloud but he didn't hear me.

"Those were some close calls," he said. He noticed Rainbow Dragon flying over and its mouth filled with power to attack. "Uh-oh, and I have a feeling they're about to get closer."

It shot the attack at Jaden who placed Neos on his duel disk. Neos became real and blocked the attack with his arms crossed like Jaden's. He glared at the masked man standing on a roof behind the dragons.

"Jaden Yuki, the duelist who they say can speak with the spirits," the man said.

"I see my reputation precedes me," Jaden responded.

I noticed a spirit, Baron, show himself next to Jaden. "So he's the one behind all of this destruction," Baron said.

"I'd say so, Baron, and it's pretty impressive too. I mean, wow. Bringing all of these duel monsters to real life?" Jaden responded. 'Typical Jaden,' I thought.

Yubel then showed herself. "Don't get too excited. He is trying to destroy you with them after all," she said.

"Jaden, I've finished what I came here to do," the masked man said.

"Say what?" Jaden retorted.

"Say goodbye. Because I plan on finishing you off as well," the man said.

The man pulled out a card that lit up. A tower of light landed in front of Jaden and I. "Uh-oh, whatever's coming I doubt it's good," Jaden said.

I didn't know what was going to emerge from the light, but I had a bad feeling about it. And it shocked me as Stardust Dragon appeared on the field. "Stardust Dragon?!" I exclaimed.

"Farewell, Jaden!" the man exclaimed.

. . .

I bolted to a sit-up position. I felt cold sweat dripping down my face. 'What… was that?' I thought. 'Who was that guy? Why did he have Stardust Dragon? And why was he attacking Jaden?' Two seconds later, Yusei's eyes snapped open.

He sat up and looked at me and probably noticed my sweat covered face and my alert eyes. "Era?" Yusei called, obviously confused and worried about me.

"It's… nothing," I told him getting up.

"It doesn't seem like nothing, Era," Yusei commented. "You need to learn you can't hide stuff from me. You won't be able to."

I looked down. "I know. It's just…" I stopped. Yusei stood up and walked to my side, placing a hand on my shoulder. "And you keep having the nightmares about Zero Reverse."

"Yeah. I've only told Jack and Crow because I didn't want to worry you," Yusei asked. He sighed a bit, annoyance in his voice. "Don't try to change the topic."

"It's nothing. Really," I pushed.

"Era," he responded sternly.

"You want to head to the overlook?" I suggested.

"If you'll talk there, then fine," Yusei said and I nodded but I didn't look at him. We got dressed and Yusei convinced me to ride behind him on his runner.

When we got there, I stayed silent for a minute or two. But Yusei eventually spoke up, "Era, what was so bad about that nightmare you had? I can help."

I looked down in thought. 'I could tell him. If that masked man had Stardust Dragon, it would stand to reason he stole it from Yusei in a duel. Maybe it could make it so Yusei doesn't battle that man,' I thought before sighing defeated. "Alright. Remember how I told you about Jaden Yuki?" I began.

"Yeah?" Yusei replied, obviously curious to where it was going.

"Well, two dragons are shooting at him while he was running on top of a roof. I'm there. But it was like I was a ghost though I could feel the heat of the fire that was from the surrounding buildings. Cyber End Dragon and Rainbow Dragon were the ones attack Jaden. He narrowly dodged each attack that was thrown at him. When Jaden lands on the ground, Rainbow Dragon fires at him again. Jaden uses Neos to protect him. That's when the masked man begins to speak," I stopped.

"Masked Man?" Yusei repeated.

I nodded. "He talks to Jaden saying things like people say 'he can speak with the spirits'. Jaden stays perfectly calm as usual and talks to Baron who said the masked man was behind the destruction. Jaden, still being calm, said that he agreed and that it was impressive he was bringing the duel monsters to life. Yubel responded by saying 'the man was trying to destroy him after all'. Then the masked man said, 'I've finished what I came here to do'. When Jaden responded with 'what?', the man said to say goodbye because he was going to finish Jaden off. That's when he summons the monster," I explained further.

"What monster?" Yusei asked.

"Stardust Dragon," I answered bluntly. Yusei gasped in shock. "I have a bad feeling about all this. Yusei, if any masked figure comes and challenges you to a duel, don't bring out Stardust Dragon." They heard duel runners pull up but didn't pay give them any attention at the moment.

"Don't worry, Era," Yusei responded. "I won't let that happen."

"You still having bad dreams, guys?" Crow asked as he and Jack walked up behind us.

We turned to him. "If only they were just dreams," I replied.

"The past is past, Yusei. You need to let it go and embrace the future," Jack said.

"I agree. And you know, if I agree with Jack, I must really mean it," Crow agreed.

"And Era, how can your nightmares be real?" Jack asked.

"I don't know. But my intuition is saying whatever it is, it's coming… soon," I replied.

"I know what'll make you two feel better," Jack said. He and Crow tossed Yusei his helmet and Yusei's spare one to me.

"Come on, guys. Let's ride," Crow said.

"Alright," Yusei said with a grin. I nodded with a small grin myself. It was getting better to ride a duel runner. But I still was struggling to try to ride one myself.

We got on, with me behind Yusei again, and drove off. As we drove, I heard it. The scraping of metal on concrete. I looked behind us followed by Yusei.

"I've never seen that duel runner before," Jack commented as the duel runner came into view behind them.

"Or the duelist that's driving it," Crow added.

"Yusei, that's him," I told my mate. "It's the masked man from my dream." He looked at me shocked.

The unknown rider flashed his lights signaling a challenge. "I don't believe it. He's challenging us to a duel," Jack said.

"If it's a duel he wants, it's a duel he'll get," Yusei said.

"Just don't use Stardust Dragon," I reminded.

"Why not, Era?" Crow asked.

"He wants Yusei Stardust Dragon," she answered.

"How you know that is uncertain to me. But we'll see how good he is without that dragon," the man said with a laugh.

"I'm not going to let you take my dragon," Yusei told the masked man. "So don't bother trying."

"We'll see about that," the man said.

"Era, you should probably get off right now," Yusei ordered.

"No," I immediately denied. "I need to see this to the end. I'm staying right here."

Yusei gave a small nod of acceptance. "Alright," he agreed. "Hold on tight and be careful." I nodded.

"Duel Mode engaged," said the voice as the duel began.

(A/N: Since the movie (or show bit or whatever you want to call it) doesn't show most of the duel, I'll skip to the end like it.)

An explosion knocked dust around as Yusei made an attack. He had Junk Synchron (Attack 1300/ Defense 500) in defense mode and Nitro Warrior (Attack 2800/ Defense 1800) in attack mode. He had two face downs as well. His life points stood at 1800.

The masked man had no monsters and two face downs himself. His life points stood at 2400.

"Why don't you bring out that Stardust Dragon? I know you want to," the masked man taunted.

"Because I'm not going to let you take it," Yusei retorted. "Now I think I'll finish this by attacking you with Nitro Warrior!" The man laughed.

"Why is he laughing?" Crow asked worried.

"I think we're about to find out," Yusei replied.

"I activate the trap Negate for Reward! This card negates your attack and allows me to pick a monster from your extra deck and summon it to the field," the man explained.

"What?!" Yusei exclaimed. The man laughed. "I activate Trap Jammer! This negates your trap and destroys it."

"Nope, in addition to its effect, it also negates the activation of all trap and spell cards," the masked man informed. "And I think I'll summon your Stardust Dragon!"

"Yusei…" I muttered, worried.

"I know, Era," he responded.

The man laughed as Stardust Dragon was forced to the field. It looked at Era with begging eyes. The man brought out a blank card.

"What's the blank card for?" Yusei asked.

It shot out a stream of four sided, card shaped light. I focused all of my power on deflecting the attack on Yusei's Stardust Dragon. A red force field surrounded the dragon as the attack came closer.

The attack quickly hit the force field and pressed on against it. "What's this?!" the masked man exclaimed.

"Era, be careful," Yusei warned. "That spell drains a lot of energy."

He was right. I was running low on energy but I still kept the force field up. "You're not going to take it!" I yelled.

The force field began to crack from the force of the card and my low energy. "Era, stop. You're using too much energy," Yusei told me.

"Jack, what's going on?" Crow asked his friend.

"I don't know," he replied.

Yusei's dragon began to beat its wings against the card pushing it back further. The man growled and his head shot forward. The card seemed to gain power and it became too much for Stardust Dragon and I. The shield shattered and Stardust Dragon was engulfed in a sphere made of thousands of cards.

"Stardust!" Yusei called.

The sphere glowed, swallowing his dragon before the sphere drained back into the blank card. Once it was completely in the card, it became a darker colored version of Stardust Dragon.

"What did…? Stardust Dragon it's…" Jack stuttered shocked.

"It's gone! It's stolen!" Crow exclaimed.

"But how?" Yusei asked.

"A great many things are possible," the man called to Yusei and I as he drove up beside us. "And now that I have the mighty Stardust Dragon, the demise of this era and time is one of those things."

"Who are you?" Yusei demanded angrily. The man laughed. He drove off faster than possible before disappearing in a flash of light. Yusei pulled to a stop. The others followed. "Stardust…" he trailed off sadly looking at her now empty card.

"Okay, let's head back to the garage. We need to talk about what just happened," Jack said.

I looked down sadly. 'I couldn't protect it. I'm sorry, Yusei…' I thought. I held on tight as Yusei turned with my friends and took off.
