Maybe if there was five dimensions? The story follows Yuzu and her best friend Yuya as a strange day changes their lives forever and opens up a whole multiverse of mystery. With help/ideas from Romadrox8975

54. Speeding Return Home

Yugo looked behind and Officer Ushio was right behind them.

"Damn, I'm going to have to duel my way out of this Yuya!" said Yugo as Yuya clung onto his D-Wheel.

"This is your last chance Common scum! Pull over!" Ushio said.

"Never!" Yugo yelled.

"Good choice, now I can throw away another into the facility!"

Security HQ

"Prepare the route!" said a female worker.

"Plotting course from highway eight to point D-B!" said another as they all typed on their computers to prepare the system and route. Meanwhile high in his office, the director of Security, Jean-Michel Roget, was watching on his holoscreen with his hands clenched together while sitting.

Highway

Below in the Commons, people were walking around during the now darkened day and suddenly massive metal poles shot up from the ground and an alarm was set off. Commons looked up into the sky and saw many poles were shooting up around the Commons area and they were forming an extended highway.

"A DUEL!" one yelled.

"Awesome!" said another.

"A duel is beginning. A duel is beginning. All cars along the route are requested to withdraw at once."

Cars along with highway drove off the highway and down another lane, leaving the road entirely free for the duel.

"Hold on Yuya! This might get bumpy!"

"Yes, I've seen these D-Wheels before, just go easy!" he yelled in shock as the whole event unfolded. Ushio shot forward and the two were now neck and neck.

"I can't wait to put you away! My promotion counts on it!" he said.

"You'll need to beat me first!" said Yugo. The two turned around the corner, eyes focused right on the road ahead.

"Riding Duel….. Acceleration!"

Turn 1

Ushio LP: 4000 Hand: 5

Yugo LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"I'll go first, Commons are always in our shadow!" said Ushio. "I'll end this quickly and get back to celebrate my vic-"

"Just go!" yelled Yugo.

"You're a rude boy, how dare you speak to your superior like that! I summon Stygian Street Patrol!" A demon with horns in a black riding outfit appeared while riding a golden and sliver bike.

Stygian Street Patrol ATK: 1600 DEF: 1200 Dark/Fiend/LVL 4/Tuner

"A Tuner?" said Yuya. "This is the Synchro Dimension!"

"I have no idea what you're on about boy but you'll be banged up in no time! I set two cards!" Ushio said as the cards appeared on the track before disappearing. Yugo looked at Ushio with gritted teeth.

"These Duel Chasers have banged up many of my friends, I must get their revenge!" Yugo declared.

"Revenge?! Yugo-"

"I mean by beating him Yuya, nothing else, don't worry." Yugo replied as he tried to calm the more cautious Yuya. "I've never dueled a Duel Chaser before but it won't be very hard." he said with a boastful tone.

"You really are a cocky one aren't you?." Ushio said. "The Top's are always making moves forward while for you scumbags, the only way is down! Know your place!"

"You can't talk to us like that!" Yuya said.

"Talking back to an officer? Well that's just doubled your punishment!" Ushio gloated.

"Don't reason with them Yuya, it's hopeless." Yugo said as he placed his hand onto his wrist dealer.

Turn 2

Ushio LP: 4000 Hand: 2

Yugo LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"I draw!" Yugo placed the card into his wrist dealer which held his card hand. "I summon Speedroid Horse Stilts!" A beige horse with green hair going down its neck appeared. It had blue stilts for front legs.

Speedroid Horse Stilts ATK: 1100 DEF: 1100 Wind/Machine/LVL 4

"Horse's effect! I can bring out a Speedroid monster from my hand upon its Normal Summon. I Special Summon Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice!" A golden dice appeared on the field with different markings on each side.

Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice ATK: 100 DEF: 100 Wind/Machine/Tuner/LVL 1

"Speedroid? Nothing on our database about this guy…" Ushio thought.

"I tune my two monsters!" Red-Eyed Dice became the Synchro rings and Horse Stilts went through them.

4+1=5

"Appear Hi-Speedroid Chanbara!" A purple knight who rode a sword-like vehicle came to the field. Chanbara appeared next to Yugo and flew alongside him.

Hi-Speedroid Chanbara ATK: 2000 DEF: 1000 Wind/Machine/Synchro/LVL 5

"Very cool…" said Yuya.

"I was waiting for you to do that!" said Ushio. "I play my Trap, Synchro Ejection!"

"Not that!" Yugo said.

"This removes from play one Synchro Monster!" Chanbara was quickly banished.

"However I can draw one card via its effect!" Yugo said as he drew.

"Makes no difference, your only Synchro Monster is gone!" Ushio said.

"Not fair!" Yuya said.

"Only…." Yugo smirked afterwards.

"Surely you can't have more than one?! Commons can't have that amount! You're all poor!"

"You might want to recheck that! Commons are more than you think!" Yugo replied.

"Regardless, this will knock that smug tone out of you! I play my set Quick-Play Spell, Synchro Return! I Special Summon a banished Synchro Monster and summon it to my field! Appear Chanbara!"

"He's taking your monster!" Yuya said.

"Snake! Get your own!" Chanbara appeared on Ushio's field from a blue portal.

Hi-Speedroid Chanbara ATK: 2000 DEF: 1000 Wind/Machine/Synchro/LVL 5

"I'm only returning things to have they should be! Commons have nothing while us Tops have it all!" Ushio burst into laughter.

"This guy is insane…" thought Yuya.

"Ugh, you're annoying; I use my Monster Reborn to bring back Speedroid Horse Stilts in defence mode."

Speedroid Horse Stilts ATK: 1100 DEF: 1100 Wind/Machine/LVL 4

"I set two cards and end my turn."

Turn 3

Ushio LP: 4000 Hand: 2

Yugo LP: 4000 Hand: 3

"You don't seem to be happy...?! I draw!" Ushio smirked at his card. "This ends here! I summon Samurai Sword Baron!" A samurai wearing a green jacket appeared.

Samurai Sword Baron ATK: 1600 DEF: 1200 Earth/Warrior/LVL 4

"I shall use his effect! It allows me to change your defence positioned Horse Stilts into attack position!"

"Damnit, he has an answer for everything!" Yugo replied. Sword Baron lifted up his sword which then glowed. Horse Silts glowed next and was forced to stand up-right.

"Yugo, please tell me you have an answer or something?!" Yuya pleaded with his Synchro counterpart. Yugo smirked.

"Don't worry Yuya, we might've not known each other for long, but you can trust me!" he replied.

"I tune my Sword Baron with my Stygian Street Patrol!" Both monsters entered into the Synchro sequence.

4+4=8

"Feel the force of the law! Appear level eight, Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons!" A large, twin-headed red dragon appeared on the field. The huge monster casted a large shadow over Yuya and Yugo. Both boys looked in shock at it.

Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons ATK: 3000 DEF: 3000 Dark/Dragon/Synchro/LVL 8

"That's…. amazing…" Yuya said.

"I thought you Security Goons used Goyo's?!" Yugo snapped back. Ushio laughed to himself.

"Well I'm not some "goon"! When you've arrested as many Common scum like you, we get new, fun toys!"

"Director?" Yuya thought.

"Just my luck! I drew the best Security has!" Yugo shouted out loud in frustration.

"I see you're finally learning your place! Now to use your trash against you, and this card isn't as bad as I thought either, but trash is still trash!"

"What does he mean Yugo?" Yuya asked. Before Yugo could response, Ushio launched his attack.

"Go Chanbara, attack his Horse!" Chanbara shot forward and slashed the fellow Speedroid Monster with his double swords. The swords slightly increased in size.

Chanbara ATK: 2100

Yugo felt the impact as Chanbara destroyed his horse with a double slash from its swords.

Yugo LP: 4000 – 3000

"Why did its attack rise by 100?!" Yuya said, surprised.

"When it attacks, it gains 100 more attack points and the worse is yet to come." Yugo replied with a serious tone.

"You are right! Chanbara can attack twice!"

"What?!" said Yuya as Chanbara launched forward once more, this time directly. Its swords increased in size once more.

Chanbara ATK: 2200

"I play Sacred Mirror Force!" said Yugo as a Trap appeared on his field. "When attacked directly, I can destroy all face up attack positioned monsters you control and I gain lifepoints equal to halve of the attack of one of the monsters destroyed!"

"Nice!" Yuya said as Chanbara launched into a force field, destroying it.

"Now your dragon is gone as well!" The force field extended forward, almost touching Beelze. Despite this, Ushio smirked.

"Fool! Beelze can't be destroyed by battle or by card effects!"

"No!" Yugo replied as Beelze unleashed a dark beam at the force field, destroying it. "Fine but I still gain halve of Chanbara's attack!"

Yugo LP: 3000 – 4100

"I'll attack with Beelze!" As Yugo's D-Wheel rode down the highway, Beelze launched another twin, dark beamed attack at Yugo and Yuya. The two boys braced for impact as the blasts got closer.

One by one, the blasts hit the road around the D-Wheel, making Yugo swirl. Both boys held on the dear life as Yugo's lifepoints dropped.

Yugo LP: 4100 – 1100

Yugo wrestled with the D-Wheel and by sheer force, he was able to get it level. Yugo and Yuya sighed with relief.

"You're lucky Commons scum!" Ushio said. "Not many last another turn against my dragon! I set a card!"

"Is he trying to injure us or what?" Yuya said.

"Of course I am! If I injure you, that's a bonus for me!" Ushio gloated as he lifted his head in laughter. Yugo gritted his teeth with anger.

Turn 4

Ushio LP: 4000 Hand: 1

Yugo LP: 4000 Hand: 3

"I won't let that happen! Draw! I summon Speedroid Tri-Eyed Dice!" A blue pyramid with red eyes on its different panels appeared.

Speedroid Tri-Eyed Dice ATK: 300 DEF: 1500 Wind/Machine/Tuner/LVL 3

"Next the Spell Speed Drift! If I control exactly one Tuner Monster, then this allows me to Special Summon one level four or below Speedroid from my deck! Appear Speedroid Double Yoyo!" Two giant wheels with black spikes appeared. It had a sliver frame in-between.

Speedroid Double Yoyo ATK: 1400 DEF: 1400 Wind/Machine/LVL 4

"I tune these two together!" At that point Yuya's pocket glowed and so did Yugo's extra deck. The two could sense what was coming. "Spread those wondrous and beautiful wings, and strike down your enemies at the speed of light! Synchro Summon! Appear now! Clear Wing Synchro Dragon!"

4+3=7

Clear Wing shot out onto the field in all its glory. It shinned brightly in the darkned night sky.

Clear Wing Synchro Dragon ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Wind/Dragon/Synchro/LVL 7

"Your dragon…" said Yuya.

"Yes and he's going to win us this duel!" Yugo said. Ushio looked confident.

"I use my Trap! Breakthrough Skill! I target one face up monster you control and negate its effects until the end of this turn!" Clear Wing lost colour as it lost its effects.

"Damn you!" Yugo replied. "Fine! Go my second Trap, Synchro Strike! I target a Synchro Summoned Monster and it gains 500 attack for each material it used until the end phase! Clear Wing gains 1000 attack points!"

Clear Wing ATK: 3500

"That'll take that other dragon down!" Yuya cheered.

"Go Clear Wing!" Yugo commanded as his dragon shot into the air and begun to glow in the high night sky. Clear Wing shot down at a high speed; it was aimed directly at Beelze.

"I told you that it can't be destroyed in battle!" Ushio replied.

"But you still take dama-"

"Go Beelze!" Ushio commanded as his monster stood firm and took the hit from Clear Wing.

Ushio LP: 4000 - 3500

Beelze ATK: 3500

"What?! Why did your monster increase its attack?!" Yugo questioned in shock.

"Beelze increases its attack for the amount of damage I took from the battle!" Ushio boasted.

"Damnit! That dragon is tough!" Yugo responded. Yuya could only look on with concern. "I end my turn!"

"Good and that'll be your final turn!"

Clear Wing ATK: 2500

Turn 5

Ushio LP: 3500 Hand: 2

Yugo LP: 1100 Hand: 1

"I draw!" Ushio yelled. "First I banish Breakthrough Skill and use its second effect; I can negate your monsters effect again! This can be used after the turn it was sent to the graveyard"

"Give me a break!" Yugo cried as Clear Wing once again was negated.

"Common scum deserve nothing!" Ushio replied with glee. "I equip Beelze with Axe of Despair! It gains 1000 attack!" Beelze gained a blade on its head, powering up the beast.

Beelze ATK: 4500

"This can't be it!" Yuya said.

"It is! Attack Beelze!" Beelze launched another dark blast from its mouth but this time, it was stronger than before.

"I banish Speedroid Tri-Eyed Dice from my grave! This negates the attack!" A force field appeared and the dark blast hit it instead of Yugo and Yuya.

"No! You scum!" Ushio said.

"Yugo… I can't take much more of this!" Yuya said.

"But this is entertainment!" Ushio replied. Yuya looked at him with an annoyed look.

"This is nothing like entertainment! Dueling should bring smiles to all, not just a corrupt police force!" Yuya yelled back.

"But it's not just us who enjoy it, the entire of the Tops do to! Why ruin their fun?!" Ushio said.

"The Entire of the Tops?" Yuya and Yugo heard a helicopter and there, high in the sky, a news copter with a female in a red cowgirl outfit with a microphone. A large spotlight from the copter appeared above the duel field "What is that?!"

"Hello City!" the female said. "It's award-winning reporter Melissa Claire here! We're live at the scene were a fugitive Common is being chased down by a leading Duel Chaser! Apologises for the late reporting but it's not often we get live chases at night!"

"Reporter?!" Yuya said.

"Yeah." Yugo replied. "We're a live show for the Tops watching on T.V."

"This might be entertaining to some, but this isn't right!" Yuya yelled to the helicopter.

"Shut it and duel!" Ushio said. "Soon I'll get my promotion!"

Security HQ

Roget watched the live chase on his holoscreen from within his office. He smirked.

"Yes, fine Officer Ushio, soon you'll get a raise. But failure to win this duel and you'll be rotting underground. Don't get lazy!" Roget said to himself.

"Sir!" said a female worker from below. She appeared in a small screen within the holoscreen.

"What is it?" Roget asked.

"Security is in position to arrest the duo at the end of the highway, once Officer Ushio beats them."

"Good." said Roget as the screen went. "I don't know why… but these two boys seem to be somewhat familiar to me…" he thought.

Highway

Turn 6

Ushio LP: 3500 Hand: 1

Yugo LP: 1100 Hand: 1

"Draw!" Yugo yelled. Ushio smirked.

"Go another Breakthrough Skill!"

"NO!" Yugo and Yuya yelled at once as Clear Wing fell again.

"Oh yes! You rats can't do anything!" he replied. Yugo looked at his hand with concern. "I don't know if we can win this now Yuya…"

"Yugo…. there has to be something." Yuya said with concern. At that point Yuya and Yugo had a flashback. A flashback to when they dueled Yuri back in Standard. A flashback to a Pendulum/Synchro Monster ran through their heads…

"Clear Wing…"

"Fast Dragon…" Yugo and Yuya said.

"The monster we created!" Yugo said.

"Yes, that monster which appeared in our last duel…" Yuya added.

"Thank you Yuya!" Yugo said in an excited tone. "I have our method of victory! I Normal Summon a second Double Yoyo!"

Speedroid Double Yoyo ATK: 1400 DEF: 1400 Wind/Machine/LVL 4

"Now I bring back Red-Eyed Dice from my grave!" Red-Eyed returned in a blue portal.

Speedroid Red-Eyed Dice ATK: 100 DEF: 100 Wind/Machine/Tuner/LVL 1

"When summoned, I can change the level of a Speedroid on the field except itself, from level one to six! I change Yoyo into level six!"

Yoyo LVL: 6

"Don't worry Yuya; we'll win this here and now."

"I hope you're right!" Yuya replied.

"I tune the now level six Yoyo with my Dice!" Both monsters entered into the Synchro sequence.

6+1=7

"SYNCHRO SUMMON!" yelled Yugo. "Appear! Clear Wing Fast Dragon!" The monster looked similar to Clear Wing but had many more green markings around it. The monster roared along with Clear Wing as the two dragons shot forward along the highway.

Clear Wing Fast Dragon ATK: 2500 DEF: 2000 Wind/Dragon/Pendulum/LVL 7 – Scale 4

"Two dragons?!" yelled Melissa Clare high in the chopper.

Security HQ

Inside Roget's office, a large error sign appeared on the screen, Roget stood up in anger.

"What is happening?! What is this?!" The staff below were running around franticly, trying to get the system back online.

"Unknown signal!" said one staff member.

"Get it online!" said another.

"Unknown signal?!" said Roget as he overheard the talk below. He looked closer at the monitor and saw a half green and white card on Yugo's D-Wheel, Roget was surprised.

Highway

"Why's my D-Wheel holoscreen acting up?!" said Ushio. "It's like our database doesn't recognise this card?!"

"Well, it seems this Common has finally made you shut up officer!" said a boasting Yugo. "I use Fast Dragons effect! I reduce your extra deck summoned monsters attack to zero and its effects are negated!"

"WHAT?!" said Ushio as Fast Dragon glowed and Beelze, this time was the monster who greyed out. "What did you do, CHEATING SCUM?!"

"You can't talk about cheating!" Yugo replied. "This is my bond with my new friend Yuya!"

Beelze ATK: 0

"Attack Fast Dragon!" Fast Dragon launched forward and slashed Beelze at a supersonic pace with its sharp wings. Beelze was destroyed and Ushio was sent rocking on his D-Wheel.

Ushio LP: 3500 - 1000

"The fugitive has just beaten the Duel Chaser's ace monster!" said Melissa Clare in the news copter. She and the rest of City were in shock.

"End this Clear Wing ,show the pride of the Commons!" Clear Wing charged up an attack and this time shot forward. Ushio could only watch as the dragon slammed into his D-Wheel. The impact sent the D-Wheel skidding across the ground as Ushio held on for dear life.

Ushio LP: 1000 – 0 Yugo Wins

"YES!" said Yugo as he and Yuya looked back at the Officer who slowly got back up onto his feet.

"SCUM!" Ushio yelled as Yugo and Yuya rode away.

Security HQ

After the duel had finished, the system was back online. Roget gritted his teeth as he watched the holoscreen which showed Ushio on the highway, looking in the direction of Yugo and Yuya's route.

"What a failure. You were one of my highest ranked officers as well. But since this was shown live on T.V, I can't have City thinking Security has weaklings in my ranks." Roget pushed a button. "Send Ushio underground." he said. "And have Security prepare for the two who are heading that way."

"Yes sir."

Highway

"That was great Yugo!" Yuya said.

"We're not out of it yet, look!" Yugo pointed and upfront were six Duel Chasers on the highway, waiting to catch them.

"But we won the duel?!"

"I thought you would've learnt by now Yuya, that Security doesn't play fair, but nor do I! Hold on!" Yugo looked at a highway wall and sped up towards it.

Yugo launched off the wall and over the Security guards, much to Yuya and the Duel Chaser's shock. Yugo landed the D-Wheel on the other side with a stunned Yuya almost out of it due to sheer shock. Yugo drove off at high speed. The officers all stood and watched in awe before snapping back to normal and quickly tried to mount their D-Wheels to chase.

Commons

Rin, Shingo, Tsukikage and Dennis all walked through the alleyways of the Commons area, it was now daytime and the Lancers had just arrived.

"Wow… this is a dump…" said Shingo as he looked around.

"Hey this is my home!" Rin replied in annoyance.

"Still doesn't change the fact it's a dump!"

"Hey… let us not fight on the first day!" said an innocent Dennis.

As the group walked, Tsukikage looked into the air as if he sensed something. He looked around and quickly activated his duel disk.

"Look out!" he yelled as the others caught on and quickly looked above. There standing on the roofs above were Security officers in grey uniform. Each one wore a police style cap and their uniforms had golden arrows on each sleeve, representing their rank within.

"Security!" Rin yelled.

"Who?!" Shingo said in shock.

"I was going to explain all when we got somewhere safe; I guess we're too late for that!" Rin said. Security activated their duel disks.

"This is Security Squad 5D, we've found someone wearing a bracelet just like you thought sir." said one.

"Bracelet? How would Security know about that?!" said Rin.

"Leave them to me." said Tsukikage as he teleported away with his ninja skills. The remaining Lancers could only see a quick blur jump from building to building. Seconds later, Tsukikage appeared back on the ground and one by one, each officer slowly collapsed on the roof.

"What did you do?!" said a panicked Dennis.

"A simple knockout technique." said the ninja. "Now we must go." The Lancers quickly ran down the alleyway, not knowing what would be next on the surprise list.

A/N

Red-Eyed Dice will now use its real life effect.

Thanks for the reviews from AnimePearlPony and Royal2. To answer your question AnimePearlPony, no we won't be getting everyone from 5D's but we do have some interesting stuff coming up!

Synchro Return was a Speed Spell and made it into a normal one, I tried to keep Ushio's deck similar to his original self's one.

Also 10 points to anyone who noticed my little easter egg. Also when saying a "monster" during a normal sentence, that'll be a non-capital letter while "Monster Card" is different with a capital.

O.C New Card
