Chapter 3
Yusei went down to the garage where the noise was coming from to see what it was. When he got down there his totalled Runner was gone and the door was open. He went outside to find his Runner completely repaired and ready to go. It was even turned on.
Yusei approached it and felt the presence of someone to his left. He turned his head and what he saw made him both angry and scared at the same time.
"You."
It was the old man he met when he was a kid.
"Hello, Yusei. My, how you've grown." He said.
"You haven't aged a day."
He started walking up to Yusei.
"You're the reason I survived that crash yesterday, aren't you?" Yusei asked.
"Of course," The old man said. "You're no good to me dead. It wasn't the first time either."
Yusei looked down in thought.
"The Dark Signers, Goodwin, all those times you've cheated death, I was there to make sure you didn't die. I'm your biggest fan after all. I'm always cheering you on. Yusei..."
He got closer, "Yusei…"
He leaned in and whispered in Yusei's ear.
"Yuuuuuseiiiiiiii."
He pulled back. "Makes me so proud."
Yusei got on his Runner, planning to put it in his garage but… he couldn't move when the old man put his hand on Yusei's shoulder.
"The time has come for that favor you owe me." He said.
"No…" Yusei said.
"You have no choice. You're under contract remember?"
Yusei tried to get off his bike and run but still couldn't move.
"The heir to my… 'company' has decided to go rogue. I want him back."
Yusei felt his hand start to rev the bike on its own.
"If you succeed… I'll return what's yours."
He lifted his hand from Yusei's shoulder and Yusei rode off to find whoever he was sent to find.
Get ready, the flaming skull shows up next.
