Chapter 7
"... It calls to a part of the host that dwells deep inside, a part of it that bursts forth in an explosion of Hellfire. Whenever innocent blood is spilled, a part of it that screams for vengeance."
Japan has some serious censorship laws when it comes to the internet. And since Neo Domino was built, parts of the internet were cut off, one of those things being Religion. So Yusei had to find the last library in the city to do his research. He spent several hours looking through old books on Catholicism and Western legends. Turns out the Duel Rider is a spirit created by the Devil to do things on Earth that he can't do (or won't do) himself.
Once the library closed, Yusei made his way to his Duel Runner, which he had hidden in an ally. Along the way, who should he come across but Akiza Izinski?
"Yusei, what are you doing here?" She asked.
"Uh… just went for a walk. I was tired of being cooped up in my house." Yusei lied. "What are you doing here?" Trying to change the subject.
"I take this route to get to the bus stop after school. But that doesn't matter, you should be resting."
Yusei was about to retort but noticed someone creep up behind him. He turned around fast and was stabbed in the stomach with a small knife by the offender. Yusei gripped his jacket and fell to the sidewalk.
"Hey, babe… What are you doing out here all alone?" He said to Akiza.
She tried to run but was grabbed by the punk from behind. She could feel his hand travel down her stomach and closer to…
"HEY, DIRTBAG!" Someone yelled.
The PoS turned his head and saw Yusei run toward him and punch him square in the face, getting him away from Akiza. Yusei then shoved him to the ground and began to beat him senseless. Blow after blow he pounded the jerk in the face with blood covering his gloves and Yusei had no intention of stopping. But he felt Akiza grab his arm and pull him away from the bleeding pervert.
"He's had enough!" She yelled.
Yusei looked deep into her eyes, "That thing tried to rape you."
"That doesn't mean you get to decide who deserves to die!" Akiza defended.
Yusei's eyes turned orange, "I'm not the one who decides..."
On the last word Yusei's skin started to catch fire and expose his skull. He grunted in pain as the orange pads on his outfit burst into flame and the fire consumed his head. When it was done he stood up and stared at Akiza.
The look on her face was of pure shock, horror, and worryness. The spirit walked up to her, grabbed her around the waist and pulled her close to look into her soul, all while Akiza just stood frozen with fear.
She was guilty of many things. Being part of a terrorist group obviously meant that, but… she actually felt guilty for those things and was trying to redeem herself. The spirit also could sense what it's host meant to Akiza and what Akiza meant to its host.
Innocent.
He let her go and made his way to the blood soaked scum, pulling the knife out of his abdomen. He picked up the piss ant, grabbed him by the top of his head with one hand and turned his head backwards with a loud snap of his vertebrae. Then he threw the corpse into the nearby ally. Then whistled for his Duel Runner from the same ally with its fiery wheels cutting the perv's body in two. All while Akiza watched in terror
He mounted the dragon headed Runner, took one last look at Akiza and rode off toward the church.
On the way there Yusei's body and Runner made their way back to normal due to the lack of evil. When he arrived at the church he found it engulfed in flames and Father Walker crawling his way out of the burning building. Yusei quickly dismounted the Runner and cradled the Reverend in his arms.
"Scott! What happened!?" Yusei yelled in panic.
The Reverend said nothing but held his hand up to Yusei's chest.
"G… good… man…" Then he fell back, dead.
Yusei shut his eyes and gently set the Pastor down on the sidewalk with sirens wailing in the distance. When Yusei opened his eyes he heard the wheels of his Runner catch fire and felt that his target was near.
And he just made this "deal" personal.
Dun Dun Duuuuuuun. Looks like Yusei is ready to kick some ass. And now Akiza knows his secret. What will happen next!? Tune in next time. Same Bat-inconsistent schedule. Same Bat-Site.
