Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! Gx, or Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds or any characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Franchise. I do own any OCs I make, but most will be likely be minor characters (even more so than the minor characters in the show - save for Nozomi and Hiroshi. My fingers ran away with them, and I like the dynamic they made too much to change it. I find them amusing). I make no money from this fanfiction as it is a tribute to a fandom I really like and want to play around in. If you see this on a paid site, please note that someone has plagiarized me and let me know so I may take steps to prevent fines or whatever. Also, I will be using the Japanese names, so if you're only familiar with the English, 4kids swapped two names: Blitz is Nerve and Nervin is Blitz.
Alright, time for some crazy fun. *cracks knuckles* But first, we need to get Ushio out of the way. He's still hanging out by the gate to the Tops district to try to catch Yusei. Oh, and since Dr. Fudo and his wife don't seem to have first names from what I can find, I'm giving them some.
The garage where the Manjoumes kept their limo was just outside the Tops district, meaning they had to leave through the gate to get to it. Yusei groaned when, as soon as he stepped out, he heard an annoyingly familiar voice.
"There you are, you Satellite scum!"
"Is there a problem, Officer?" Yusuke asked, stepping in between Yusei and the Security Stalker.
"Yeah, I'm here to detain that Satellite reject and send him home," Ushio declared, moving to step around Yusuke, only to freeze as he felt a chill of fear.
"I'll have to ask you to cease and desist your harrassment of my godson. He is the son of Dr. Yahiko and Mrs. Usagi Fudo. He was born in the Tops, and was unfortunately in the daycare attached to Dr. Fudo's workplace when Zero Reverse occurred, trapping him in the Satellite as a year-old infant. I finally have the opportunity to give my godson the childhood he was denied because I am not a part of Security and thus was not allowed to retrieve him in spite of the Fudos' Last Will and Testament. You will not come after Yusei any longer because all official papers on him clearly state he is a resident of the Tops District. I will be finding out who didn't fact check and had him sent to the Facility for the so-called crime of a Satellite trespassing in the City," Yusuke snarled, Ushio continually backing away as fear filled him. The reject wasn't a reject? He was the godson of one of the most feared businessmen in the world!?
Ushio swallowed heavily. "I- I didn't know. I'm a patrol cop, not a detective, I swear I had no clue!"
"Well now you know. And for the record, Yusei's friends are off limits too. Apparently the goddaughter of I2's CEO was nearly murdered, fled to the Satellite to escape her attacker, and was rescued by Yusei. She's a sister to him and the rest of his 'family' now, so they're family to us. Touch them if you dare. You'll have Manjoume Corp., I2, Phoenix Industries, Marufuji Dueling Group, and Millennium International coming down on your head. And that's not even getting into the rage Kaiba Seto will unleash when he returns and sees what's been done to his company. I think I'll head to a bunker when he returns," Jun coolly added. Ushio was now sweating bullets and wondering if Godwin realized how many enemies he's made. Well, Ushio wasn't going to warn him. Not when there seems to be very good reasons for these powerful people's wrath.
"Dad, didn't you say we need to hurry up because we're burning daylight? Let's go already! I wanna see how Aniki likes the roller coasters!" Lua whined.
"You're right, let's go. We're done here anyway."
Ushio just watched as Yusei was surrounded by his newfound family and escorted to the limo.
"Whoa," Yusei breathed as they drove up to the valet at Kaibaland. He wasn't hesitant in just letting himself go around these people. He knew he was safe here. Not only that, he knew everyone, excluding the three kids, could keep themselves and the rest of the group safe. Asuka shared some stories from her school days along the way - slightly edited for the little ones so the scary was made more exciting - and then told of how she made a point to learn martial arts to keep up with the powerhouses after graduation. Jun had trained his Psychic Duelist potential - he wasn't the strongest, but he certainly knew how to use Ojamas.
And Yusuke… Yusuke was terrifying when he wanted to be. He served the Herald of Gentle Darkness now, but he had once been possessed by the Avatar of Nihilistic Darkness. He still had a taint about him, but he channeled it in ways to help, not harm. He wasn't naturally this way, but he had adapted and now thrived with the abilities forced upon him. That was probably the most terrifying thing. Yusuke's willpower. He didn't have Gentle Darkness, but twisted the Nihilistic Darkness within him into obeying and becoming a form of Gentle Darkness. A far more dangerous form than normal, but still… To have the strength to go against the very nature of the power that possessed you and turn it into its opposite? That was impressive. And apparently it became easier after the twins were born - something to protect always helps.
"Come on, Aniki! We gotta get our bracelets!" Lua called. Yusei stopped looking at all the sights and lightly jogged over to the boy, who was standing with the Manjoumes. Luka and Yusuke had gone to get her a wheelchair.
"I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to leave. Your kind isn't welcome here," the teller sneered when Yusei came up. Almost immediately, the air seemed to lose all warmth and a look of pure terror appeared on the teller's face.
"Now, you weren't just attempting to discriminate against someone, were you? I know for a fact that that's against Kaibaland policy. It's owned by Industrial Illusions, after all," Yusuke, who had rejoined them without being noticed, asked silkily.
"I- I apologize, sir, b-but we cannot allow someone with a Criminal Marker in the par-"
"It's for you," Asuka interrupted, handing her cell phone to the teller. The teller took it, and almost immediately paled. After a few moments, he handed it back, put a VIP bracelet on Yusei's wrist, and waved them through.
"What just happened?" Yusei asked. Yes, he was currently living in a perpetual state of confusion, but he was quite sure he'd be able to get a straight answer here.
"Oh, nothing. I just called Johan, who happens to be the CEO of I2 and therefore the big boss, and he expressed his displeasure at being interrupted from his day off since one of his parks isn't following company policy and now he needs to order an internal investigation and potentially replace most of the staff if this is seen as acceptable behavior from all of them. From the sound of it, he was with Judai, so I don't think either one was happy about the interruption," Asuka replied lightly, a distinct note of pride in her voice.
"Once again, I'm reminded why I decided to marry you," Jun gushed. The adults (and teens) all snickered as the kids merely looked at each other and shrugged to say, "Adults are weird."
"Oooh! Aniki, this one, let's get on this one!" Lua called, rushing to the fastest coaster in the park. They had gone on a few tamer rides first before Luka tired too much, but now she was insisting everyone else ride what they wanted.
"Lua! Don't run ahead!" Luka called. Yusei gave her a helpless smile before taking off after the excitable kid. The only girl among the kids huffed.
"Aniki, come on! Let's get on already!" Lua demanded as soon as Yusei caught up.
"Lua, I'm pretty sure we're supposed to wait in line," Yusei replied, doing his best to ignore the glares being sent his way. He sensed the others come up behind him.
"Hmph. I should have realized you wouldn't know that's what the bracelets are for. No wonder you've been looking confused," Jun sneered, only to have Asuka smack him upside the head. "Ouch! Uh, sorry, kinda getting annoyed by how people are looking at you. Like they've never see a tattooed cheek before."
Suddenly all those glares stopped. Yusei barely hid his surprise. To be honest, his Mark did look more like a tattoo than anything. It was a good cover.
"Yuseiiii~~~" Lua whined. "Come on, let's get on already!"
"Alright, alright, keep your hair on, Lua, I'm coming."
After that first coaster, Yusei caught Lua's excitement and they raced to the next one. With people now thinking Yusei's Mark was just a cool tattoo, things were going a lot smoother. Plus, Yusei discovered he absolutely loved roller coasters. The speed, the dives, the sharp twists and turns… Something in him rejoiced because it was so much like flying he could practically taste it. He couldn't stop grinning. They had lunch at some cafe called "Blue Eyes Mountain Coffee" and by the end of the day, pretty much everyone but Yusei was tuckered out. Lua was being carried piggyback by Yusei, the boy barely managing to keep his eyes open. The Turbo Duelist turned to Yusuke.
"When can we come back?"
"Ugh, so bored," Crow complained. He'd been cooped up in Martha's for the last day and a half! He couldn't take this much longer! He'd almost rather take his chances with those weird cloaked guys than stay stuck here a minute longer.
Burst Lady snorted. "You know that spell was cast so it would be safe to you humans to head outside. If you're so bored, why are you not out exploring new territory? Isn't that something humans do for fun?"
Crow stared blankly at the Pyro Warrior Mistress. Then he turned and banged his head against the wall, cursing himself for not realizing that. Burst Lady raised a brow. Great. She had more idiots to teach.
I added that part at the end because… Well, I just had to. It wasn't needed, but come on! Burst Lady's awesome, and so the boss of Judai's Deck. Yubel will share that role once she's fully recovered. Burst Lady's gonna whip these idiots from the Satellite into shape if it's the last the she does! She did a good job with the Gx Crew, after all. Just some minor hiccups, but Judai's ADHD is to blame for that. xD
Though there is a reason Martha's house was transported elsewhere. A very good one. One that I'm going to try very hard to keep from being shown until a planned plot point because… reasons. (Not gonna spoil!) Trust me, you all will love those reasons. And what I have planned for that plot point.
Also, for the record - what Yusuke has done doesn't go against the Order of the Universe. His power is still highly destructive. Creation and destruction are two side of the same coin. The Gentle Darkness and Light of Hope are meant to create, while the Nihilistic Darkness and Light of Destruction are meant to, well, destroy. But destroying everything is counter-productive. Let's just say, the last Universe ended because the out-of-control destructive forces won. The Universe is very pleased with Yusuke's success because it's creating a path where the rift will heal and Creation and Destruction work hand-in-hand like they're supposed to.
