On My Own
Chapter 6
Author Notes: Ok. Now for the baddest cop in all of the Satellite to finally make an appearance...for better or worst. Writing his character is still ten times better than Atticus by far lol. I do not own Yugioh.
3rd P.O.V
A headache was quickly forming as Yusei tightens a stubborn nut, trying to ignore the arguing going on above him. "Leave him alone Trudge! For the last time he was the one who told Rally to call you! He's innocent." This is why Yusei usually doesn't let people in the shop.
It was far too noisy. But he should've expected this. Of course Sector Security's Chief of his district, Trudge would accuse him of bullshit he didn't do. The elder man never liked Yusei-or his dad for that matter, always thinking they were up to trouble. "Please sir, it's true! He saved me. There's no need to be so hostile."
But still the mechanic tolerated and respected him. At the very least this hot tempered jerk did his job. The worst he's ever done is let some low level punks go with a fair challenge. Martha only knows how much trouble Crow, Tank and Blitz would've gotten into if Yusei didn't make a deal with Trudge to bail them out.
Otherwise they'd all be stuck in the detention center. A place far worse then New Domino City's jail cells. "I apologize ma'am, but I'm only trying to get the full story-and Yusei you ignoring me isn't helping! I got a job too you know!" Sighing he pushes himself out from under Mrs. Izayoi's car.
Seems like before Trudge's goons brought it here, Jerry dealt some damage as payback. "Trudge it's exactly what Mrs. Izayoi said. I pulled up, blinded the asshole harassing her with my duel runner, sent her in where she got help from Lawton. I brought her here, had Rally call you and the rest is history."
He cracked his back as he stood up, feeling a tad too stiff despite taking a shower. Rally crossed his arms as he openly glared at the rude excuse for a cop. Hardly anyone liked him. Not that the big man of the law cared.
"Stop trying to hold back on the details. What about your injuries? Don't try to tell me you got into an accident before stopping at the store or you've always limped like that. If Jerry's done something I need to know."
Yusei hated this man sometimes, as now everyone had their eyes on him. Analyzing him from top to bottom in search of proof for Trudge's claims. "It wasn't even five minutes with her gone. Nothing happened." It seemed Yusei was being stubborn, sticking to his story.
Or rather not adding further to it. Whether it was concern at getting in trouble for getting into a fist fight or the fact that the elder man was going to make him go see a doctor Rally couldn't tell. But everyone present saw with worried gazes as the big bad officer approached, feinting a jab so the teen could instinctively move.
As plan Yusei jerks to the left, pain exploding behind his eyes as he stumbles. Getting caught by burly hands before he could crash into the hard floor, a short shout echoing in the garage. "If this is nothing happened-I'd hate to see what you think something bad is." A snort escapes Trudge as he snaps his fingers.
"One of you get the first aid kit. I'm not a doctor but I know my way around injuries." It didn't surprise anyone except the victimized woman present. There were several crooks that have been sent to the hospital due to Trudge's rough manhandling.
How he actually became a policeman no one would ever know. "On it!" It's essentially Nervin who volunteers, leaving Yusei to sigh as he sits down. Forced to grit his teeth as the dirtbag examines his leg. The rest of his group getting a good look at the black and blues.
And that was just the leg. It was a few minutes of prodding and painful pressure that he got the diagnosis no one wanted to hear. "Looks like we got ourselves a nasty fracture. Do I wanna know what caused that?" It was only five or so minutes, not even according to the injured individual.
But with the looks he was receiving Yusei couldn't keep his lips sealed, his pride shattering as he admitted how he got his injury. "He nailed me with a heavy duty lead pipe." He had no clue where Jerry got it from.
However the asshole was always getting into brawls and leaving things lying around for such occasions. Regardless of where or how, the moment Yusei turned away to make sure the poor woman made it inside the store, the weapon was suddenly in Jerry's hand. Catching Yusei completely off guard.
There was no kindness or mercy to be found as the street thug went at him at full force. Leaping with a heavy swing. Just a few seconds too late, Yusei wasn't able to completely dodge the attack. Not to mention, Jerry was the kind of guy who didn't like his victims running away.
The bastard purposely aimed for his leg. The impact and the rain caused Yusei to fall, skidding a bit away. Obviously he was in intense pain as he felt his leg crack, but he pretended to be fine. Acting as if he was unaffected from the hit and got up.
If nothing else he intimidated the blonde with his bluff, deciding it would be better changing targets. Attacking Mrs. Izayoi's car instead. It was amazing with how much trouble he caused in such a short amount of time.
"And you drove in that condition!? A miracle you didn't get into a damn accident." Yusei was only able to turn away, refusing to meet anyone's gaze. When dealing with Jerry, he didn't care about the pain he was in. His priority was stopping the ass.
There was no way in hell he was going to wait for someone else to help her. And he succeeded considering he managed to protect the poor woman that was being messed with. If need be he would do it again and again. "Reckless idiot. You need to get your ass to the Healing Ward."
Trudge was reaching for his walkie, ready to call in when Yusei grabbed his hand. "No need. I'll just splint it and take it easy." Rally placed his hands on his hips as all of his friends gave him a look. "You're going!" They weren't going to take no for an answer.
This was serious, a fracture wasn't something that could just be shrugged off. Especially since every. Single. One of them KNEW he wasn't going to take it easy. It just wasn't in his nature to rest. "Nope." He had every intention of continuing his workaholic tendencies despite the injury.
However with a fracture, not letting it rest and heal could make it worse, something none of them wanted. "Oh come on Yusei!" But being the typical stubborn man he was, Yusei refused. He never liked going to the hospital, his mind flashing back to his high school days.
But more importantly... right now-he couldn't afford the cost. There were bills to pay, the doctors was Not going to be added to that. Any medical professional- or cop for that matter would be seriously hard pressed to find someone in the Satellite that could. Not even insurance would make a difference.
Still Trudge wasn't going to let that stop him. "I'll drag you on the back of my car if I have to. You're going to get checked out. I may've not gotten along with your old man-but like hell I'm going to stand here while he's in the grave forced to watch you act like a child."
Trudge hit a nerve then and he was well aware of it. It was a low blow that made Rally hate the policeman all the more. Yes, absolutely he wanted his elder brother to get looked at, just to see how bad the damage was. It was better to be safe than sorry after all.
But there was no need to bring up the deceased man. Yusei flinched, completely breaking the strong, tough mask he kept showing up until now. Suddenly one of the lights flashed on and off in the garage, illuminating everyone in a red glow.
Everyone winced as the light grew brighter and brighter. "What the hell's happening?" Trudge squinted his eyes in confusion, then in frustration as he pushed Yusei down before he could even move an inch from his seat.
"It's just my alarm, someone's at the front door."

Author Notes: So this was a bit of a short, or rather there wasn't too much going on but yes, i decided to make Trudge somewhat likable. I need him later on and if I'm going to write him, he's going to at least be tolerable lol.
We got an injured Yusei so fun times await. But that's a wrap for tonight folks. Guys thank you so much for reading. If you like the story so far please feel free to fav/follow/review as it would mean a crap ton to me. Tchao for now.
