A Japanese Weresheep in Mutsuba Town
Author's Note: Time for a new pairing! Enjoy the story and R&R.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to or of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH! series.
Pairing: Developing Yuhi x Chupataro.
Summary:
There are some forms of alien activity even MIK turns a blind eye to. The truly alien activity between Chupataro and Ohdo Yuhi, for instance.
Chapter 53: Road to the Maximum
"Cooperate with us, and your sentence will be commuted."
He didn't believe them. No one would.
"You are charged with premeditating a chemical attack on the Isekai Convention! A crime punishable with deportation from Earth! Cooperate, and you will be granted provisional refugee status in the Alien Residential Area!"
The Gasser clicked his mandibles in dissent. The fleshlings could take their fake olive branch and shove it up their gastrointestinal tracts!
"Revolting prawn!" The interrogator kicked the Gasser to the floor, ripping the translator earpiece out of his ear and chucking it at the illegal's bruised carapace.
This is District 8, an MIK black site where alien prisoners are tortured for very specific information: the whereabouts of alien resistance cells, as it was clear they were not just operating in the Alien Residential Area.
"We're getting nowhere. Have this prawn thrown in solitary like the others. Perhaps a couple days without food in the dark will get him to ta –"
BOOM! BOO-BOOM! District 8 was bombarded with timed explosions.
The room's walls were slag.
"WHAT? WHAT IS THAT?"
The Gasser took the opportunity to wriggle away from his captors. Outside, species of extraterrestrials he'd subjected his toxins to came into view of his compound eyes, all the aliens gunning for a daring escape.
Stuff was on fire.
It was chaos.
It was a raid.
"CAPTURE!" An MIK strike team encircled the band the Gasser was in.
"Where do you think you're going, interstellar kriminals?"
The prisoners backed away, but somebody plodded forward. Somebody who'd arrived to break the prisoners out, dressed in heavy layers that made IDing the perp impossible.
"Who are you?" the leader of the strike team demanded.
"Red-Eyes Black Dragon."
A collective gasp fell over the strike team.
…
"Red-Eyes Black Dragon?"
"Yes, Yudias," Yuamu confirmed. "They're a gang of aliens MIK has branded terrorists, and rumour has it they're led by seven 'Captains' who are using Rush Duels to mount a counteroffensive against MIK."
"A counteroffensive? But Rush Duels are not tools of war! They're for understanding each other! As they were for the Velgear Cluster and its former enemies!"
"Normally, I'd be on the same page as you, Yudias. But a lot has changed in the two years since you've been gone."
"Yuhi."
"Mm. After MIK chased us underground, Yuhi started to distance himself from us and Rush Duels, which he used to love."
"And Chupataro? Where is he?"
"We…don't know. So many of our friends were captured by MIK. But Yuhi, he…"
"That damned MIK! How dare you take Yuhi's smile away!"
…
"You're Red-Eyes Black Dragon? This is my lucky day! Capture all of them, men!"
"CAPTURE!"
The stranger showed them something.
"A Duel Disk? You want to Rush Duel, is that it? What a great idea! If word gets out I am responsible for bringing in an alien on MIK's most wanted list, our Commander-in-Chief will promote me!"
Lowlife.
"Leader of Strike Team β, Number 8!"
"Captain of Red-Eyes Black Dragon's First Division."
"C-Captain? YOU?"
"Go Rush."
"G-GO RUSH! I draw! I summon Armour Dog – Cannonboxer, and activate its effect to Special Summon the lower-Level Armour Dog – Bullcopter I have in my hand!"
His opponent was unmoved. Didn't move.
"Now kneel like the dog you are! FUSION! I fuse my two Armour Dogs on my field! Cannon-like guard dog, become one with the flying beast, and become a new power that shakes the heavens! FUSION SUMMON! Come forth! Full Armour Dog – Bullfortress!"
Still not moved.
"I send a second copy of Fusion in my hand to the Graveyard to increase Full Armour Dog – Bullfortress' ATK by 1000! Then I set a card, and end my turn! But would you look at that, this effect of Full Armour Dog – Bullfortress doesn't end at the end of my turn!" (ATK 2000 ↑ ATK 3000)
Still not moved.
"Draw. Magic Card, Thunder Pile On. Send the top ten cards of the Deck to the Graveyard."
"M-me?"
"No." The Captain thinned his own Deck.
"What?"
The Captain slapped three cards onto his Monster Zones, left to right: Lightning Lord – Road of Thunder [L], Lightning Lord – Road of Thunder, and Lightning Lord – Road of Thunder [R].
"T-THOSE ARE –!"
"Maximum Summon. Lightning Lord – Road of Thunder." (MAXIMUM ATK 3500)
The MIK redshirts were trembling in their boots beneath the gargantuan silhouette of a god and his goat-drawn chariot.
The Captain sent three more cards from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard, and a lightning bolt crashed down from above. (Number 8 LP 4000 ↓ 3000)
…and sent another three, decreasing Full Armour Dog – Bullfortress' ATK to 0. (ATK 3000 ↓ ATK 0)
"Attack."
"W-wait! N-no! NOOOOOOOO!"
The hammer came down. (Number 8 LP 3000 ↓ 0)
MIK strike team: DOWN!
"Come," the Captain exhorted the prisoners. "You fight for Red-Eyes Black Dragon now."
…
In a secret location stood seven chairs, two of them empty.
"Sorry for the tardiness." The sixth chair was filled. "Was at the raid on District 8."
"How did it go?"
"We have new recruits."
"And yet the seventh member on our council is still off doing his own thing."
"You know he trusts him with this task more than any of us. Leaving that aside, there's news from the Alien Residential Area."
"News?"
"Yudias Velgear has returned."
"Yudias has?"
Hushed hopes and fears were exchanged among the six.
"That expedites our timetable. Yudias will no doubt pursue Ryugu Phaser."
"Our war with MIK is about to surge into the open, then?"
"It must. We are the seven Captains. The seven Duelists chosen by that guy. We are the Sevens, of the Sevens Road."
