Hey, this is a YU-Gi-Oh! 5D's inspired OC fic with my own characters, made up cards, and arcs. Please let me know what you think of this and how you feel about it
Episode 1: Star to the Future.
The buildings of Neo-Domino City stretched higher than the cloud, the Tops as they were called where the rich lived their lives, away from the slums. Lower were the bottoms, the ordinary people who lived their lives trying to get by and hoping to be among the tops one day. Yet there was a spot even lower than that, the satellites. These people were the poorest of the poor, ex-cons, fallen heroes, and orphans, thrown away to keep away from the well-to-knows in the world. Many struggled in this place, others have given up hope and set themselves to be the actual bottom of the world for their lives. But others, dream to leave and get to the Tops by any means and yet a few, want to bring the whole satellite with them to the light. Yusuke Honma, 18, is one of these people.
"Hey, stop it." cried a young girl, dressed in a pink dress and stocking, looking at a group of boys standing over her friend, a young boy with blond hair.
"Why don't you make us?" The leader of the boys said in a mocking tone, looking at her with a smirk as the young boy's cards were sprayed across the dirt, "he came here and challenged us with these cards. Pathetic." Adding to the pain by grinding his boot on some of them looking at her, "You want to try and avenge him with a bet?"
"W-what kind of bet?" She asked, stepping back with the group walking towards her, gulping as the young boy grabbed the leader's leg.
"H-Haru, get out of here."He groaned trying to stop them only for a kick to the stomach, making him gasp and let go.
"A simple one, if I win, I get a date with you." The leader said smirking at Haru stepping back and looking at him as his friends push her back into a corner with her looking at them. Haru gulped, pressing her back against the wall with her long purple hair hanging over her face, her duel disk on and deck in place. But the way she had watched them defeat him so easily caught her off guard. The leader could see her flinching and took a step closer, only to stop with another as a card landed in the ground in front of him
"Oh, is someone having a party without me?" A voice called out from above and everyone looked up to see a young man around the same age as them standing with wild spiky black and blue hair and golden eyes. He stared down at them with annoyance before leaping to the ground and standing in between Haru with eh group.
"Yusuke," Haru said, a sigh of relief in her breath looking to him, "Careful, he beat Kia without taking damage."
"Whoa, look who thinks he's got what it takes." The leader said staring at him and Yusuke looked to the down boy, not really looking at him.
"Don't worry, this will be easy to finish him off." Yusuke said with a smile standing straight and putting his deck in place of his duel disk.
"Ha, you really think you can beat me with your cards." The leader said activating his duel disk and staring at Yusuke when bright lights hit them all at once,
"Attention, curfew is activated and must be followed, everyone must head home now." A voice called out over the speaker, announcing curfew over the satellite with the leader grinding his teeth.
"This ain't over, Meet me at midnight to finish this duel." The leader growled with him and his group headed out with Haru helping Kia to his feet, his eyes never leaving the cards on the ground.
"Grab them and let's get home before Marry notices us too late." Yusuke said scooping the cards up and Haru taking his hand, them headed back home before Sector Droids are out.
Lotus Grounds Orphanage, a building off to the side housing many young kids from babies to teens, each having been left on their own for whatever season they were given to be there. The lone care, a woman with a calming smile and sweet voice watches over them closely with her eyes spread across them all to ensure they live as comfortably as they can.
"So, that is the reason you're late?" Marry asked, arms crossed looking at the three of them looking at her, the front door closed behind them and staring at Kia, the scratches all over his body showing he was roughed up a bit in his duel and looked the other two, scanning over them with any chance of lying.
"Yeah, and I was about to face him before the curfew call was made," Yusuke said excitedly with a smile on his face as Kia hung his head down and looking away, Haru looked at Marry staring at them with her blue eyes.
"'Sigh' Kia, I have told you several times to not get in duels with them have I not?" Marry asked looking at Kia.
"B-but, they threaten me and Haru so what should I have done?" Kia looked at Marry, staring at her with his eyes burning with passion as Marry released another sigh.
"Not let them get under your skin, turn the other cheek and keep calm." She explained looking at him and the others, her caring smile spreading across her face, "I understand what you were thinking, but you should really think before sending out challenges to others, do you understand?"
"Yes, Marry." Kia turned away and she ruffled up his head.
"Good, now go wash up and join us all for dinner," Marry told them as Kia went up to the bathroom while Marry went to finish setting the table as Yusuke and Haru turned to each other.
"You should really go talk to him," Haru said with Yusuke nodding, following Kia up tot he bathroom and finding him staring at the mirror.
"Why?" Kia looked at Yusuke by the door.
"Why what?" Yusuke asked confused at Kia.
"Why would you jump in and accept a challenge where Haru was at stake?" Kia yelled, slamming his fist against the mirror and looking at Yusuke with burning passion in his eyes.
"Because I was sure I was winning and that means she would be fine..." A punch by Kia cut him off and he looked at Yusuke.
"Don't bet someone else before yourself," Kia said looking at him, passing Haru who had been watching.
"Well, at least he's talking to me again," Yusuke said smiling holding his cheek, "I will beat them for the both of you."
"You sure you can beat them?" Haru asked looking at Yusuke washing his bruised face.
"Yeah," Yusuke said looking at the shattered mirror from Kia's punch, "You can't change things unless you take steps and stand up." Haru smiled looking at him seeing how confident he was with his duel that night.
Yusuke slowly climbed down the stairs, careful not to make too much of a noise, and stepped out of the front door with his shoes in hand to get to the duel.
"Going without us?" Yusuke jumped at hearing the question, seeing Haru and Kia were waiting for him, "Or were you expecting to go by yourself?"
"Well, if I'm caught I'll be marked so I was thinking of it," Yusuke said seeing Haru smile yet Kia continued with his arms crossed while looking at him.
"Let's go, they'll be waiting for you." Those were the last words Kia said as the trio headed on out, going to the ruined building that was where Kia had lost his duel and they came tot eh gang leader waiting with his guys smirking at them.
"Oh, so you had the guts to really show up huh?" he mocked standing and looking at Yusuke with a smirk, placing his deck in his duel disk, activating it with Yusuke matching him.
"I'm always up for a duel." Yusuke said with his deck being placed in his duel disk and their life points coming to life at 4000.
"Well, let a winner start!" The leader said drawing a card and looking over his cards, looking at Yusuke, "First, I'll some SKin Dragon in attack mode." A white, flaky-looking shape of a dragon appeared with hollowed-out eyes at level 1 with 0 attack and 0 defense.
"Why would he summon a monster with no attack in attack mode?" Haru asked.
"Watch, he's got a trick." Kia said looking at her for a moment before turning back to the duel.
"I activate Skin Dragon's effect. By sending one dragon-type monster in my deck to the graveyard," The Leader pulled a card from his deck and smirked,"I can increase his level to that monster, so by sending my Sea-Dragon Uv to the grave, my Skin Dragon's level goes up to five." Sking Dragon's level turned to five, "And now, I play the spell card Dragon Cluster, this allows me to summon a Dragon Tuner monster from my deck, but I have to banish it at the end of the turn." Another card slid out of the leader's deck and he smirked, placing it on the field, "So, here is my Wee Dragon, a level 2 monster." A small, weak-looking pink dragon came out with a pop at level 2 with 300 attack and 500 defense.
"Oh, no." Kia said sweating looking at the field with Haru turning to him, her eyes asking for him to explain what he meant, "He has a level five and a level 2 tuner, that means he can summon the monster that defeated me remember?"
"Your friend is right, you're in trouble now." The Leader grins, "I now Syncro summon my best monster." Wee Dragon and Skin Dragon leaped into the air with Wee turning into two stars, forming circles that surround Skin Dragon that turns into five stars, forming a line, "Now gaze upon my beast, Ravid Blood Dragon." A bright light appeared and then a large, blood-soaked dragon appeared looming over everyone, a toothy grin looking over Yusuke, staring at the level 7 dragon-type with 2900 attack and 12 defense.
"Man, the memory is fresh on how much he beat me the turn he summoned him." Kia said, shaking looking at the massive monster that defeated him hours ago with ease.
"Now, I can't attack on the first turn but when I summon Ravid Blood Dragon, he deals you 400 damage for every dragon monster in my graveyard, and last I count, that's three." The leader said with Ravid Blood Dragon pulling his head back and blowing a large amount of blood all over Yusuke, forcing his life points to drop to 2800, "I put one card face down and end my turn."
"Then I start." Yusuke said, drawing his card smiling with his body covered in the fake blood, "First I play Star-Knight Spearman." Yusuke said with a bright light appearing a male monster with a large spear and cased in bright yellow armor. Spinning the spear around in the air, he stands in place ready to fight being a level 3 Warrior-Type monster with 1400 attack and 1500 defense.
"Ha, you really think such a weak monster would help you?" The leader mocked seeing Yusuke smiling.
"Yup, since Star-Knight Spearman's effect activates, by taking have of your monsters level and allowing me to summon a monster of the same from my deck, but their effects a negated." Yusuke said as a card slides out from his deck, "So, I take three stars from your monster and summon Star_Stallion to the field." Yusuke said placing the monster on the field, a shining white horse appears with a flowing, golden mane and blue eyes as a lever 2 Beast-Type monster with 100 attack and 1800 defense.
"Wait, don't tell me-" The Leader asked shocked and worried.
"Yup, I now Syncro my level 2 Star-Stallion with my level 3 Star-Knight Spearman." Yusuke smiled as like with the leader, Star-Stallion galloped into the air, turning into circles as Spearman turned into three stars, forming a bright light, "From the galaxy, I summon Consler Cancer!" From the bright light, a figure appeared as a man in a red, crab-themed armor with his firsts turned into pincers as a level 5 Warroir-type with 1500 attack and 2100 defense.
"Ha, all that talk and you summoned a monster with only half my monster's attack." The leader mocked looking at him, "Is that the best you can do?"
"Not yet, since I activate his effect." Yusuke said putting his hand on his deck, "I can draw equal to the number of monsters I used to summon him, and then if I get a monster, I can send it to the grave to allow him to gain that monster's attack." Yusuke drew his two card and smiled, "I drew Star-Knight Great Sword, a level 6 with 2100 attack so I can send him to the grave for my monster to get a boost." Yusuke slid the card into he grave along with the other card as Consler Cancer glowed red, his attack going to 3600.
"No way?" The gang said as he was now stronger.
"Attack!" Yusuke said as his monster leaped into the air, arm pulled back and threw his blade towards Ravid Blood Dragon.
"He has it." Haru said smiling.
"No, look at the field," Kia said as the leader activated his face down.
"I play my trap False Scales, this protects my monster from being destroyed." The leader said as their monsters clash, a ripple effect as Consler Cancer leaped back, "But I take double the damage I would have as a side effect." The leader's life points dropped to 2600 and glared at Yusuke as their monster remained on the field, ready to continue.
Far from them, a figure watched with a smile on its face as its arm glowing.
"Well, what do we have here?" They said smiling as they watched the duel.
TBC.
