Chapter Two: Dueling to New Domino City Part Two
The silence of the Satellite is almost deafening, with the possible exception of the sound of the sea water moving to and from the shoreline and the wind that blew throughout the old rundown remains of the old Domino City. Things have gone far down the hill since that horrible day when the Zero Reverse happened as Sector Security has been ruling the Satellite with an iron fist, and anyone that tries to oppose them would be arrested either in a duel or on the spot. Though, as of now, the only one on their hit list was the one called Yusei Fudo, a young man with only one mission. To escape the confines of the Satellite, find the legendary Jack Atlas, and take back his favorite card - Stardust Dragon.
Though, this is all new to Nozomi and her friends as they managed to enter the border of the once great Domino City. All they hoped was that Sector Security would provide them at the very least some transport to New Domino City. Both Yukina and Nozomi made sure every single piece of writing in the paperwork they needed to present to Sector Security to help prove they are not from the Satellite.
"I sure hope that this Sector Security will listen to what we have to say." Chiaya said to the others with a slightly loud voice as they began to traverse the rough ground heading into the Satellite, making them bounce around here and there due to the nature of the road destroyed from the tremendous blast years ago. They had to dodge broken stone slabs and piles of dust and rubble as they searched for the Sector Security Building.
Just then, they began to hear sirens in the distance, and it sounded as if it was getting closer to them. The sound would soon be followed up by the sound of tires tearing through the road.
Yukina began to look back and saw some lights beginning to get closer and closer to them. She immediately began to see the form of duel runners and a couple of jeeps belonging to the Satellite's Sector Security and the officers driving both machines. She then turned to her friends and said to them… "Hey girls, it looks like Sector Security had found us, rather than the other way around. And I think that they aren't going to negotiate with us."
"Well, we have to at least try." Nozomi tol her as they slowed down to allow the Sector Security officials to line up along them. She noticed one of them with a muscular build, a clean shaven face, and a pair of amber eyes. "Hello there officer, the four of us were actually hoping to find you guys." She said kindly to the officer.
"Well then, pull over, and we can talk." The officer said to her just as she began to hear Clear Wing Synchro Dragon's voice again.
Don't do it Nozomi… He called out to her as he appeared right next to her.
But why Clear Wing? We need transport to New Domino City. She asked him through telepathy.
I have a bad feeling that if you do, you may be thrown into prison anyway. You must find somewhere safe from these guys. He explained to her as she came back to reality only to hear the officer saying to her…
"Hey, are you even listening, pull over, and we can talk!"
Her response was plain and simple and it was towards her friends. "Girls, punch it now!"
Yukina and Chiaya were taken back by what she said as they watched their friend begin to speed up, almost leaving the two in the dust, but quickly decided to follow her, feeling that the four of them are now in trouble.
"Hey!" The officer exclaimed, trying to call out to them.
"Why are we doing this, Nozomi? Why aren't we going to do what they say?" Ai asked as she felt almost thrown out of the sidecar just as Yukina and Chiaya managed to catch up with the two of them.
"I spoke with Clear Wing again, he said we cannot trust Sector Security." She explained to them before they began to hear a voice coming from the distance.
"And that's what you do around here. You don't trust Sector Security."
Then Chiaya looked up to see the silhouette of a dark duel runner leaping off of a bunch of rubble that formed a large ramp, so she reacted quickly by hitting the brakes for only a couple of seconds to allow the figure driving the duel runner to get into formation with them. It definitely surprised the other three as well as they adjusted their formation in response. They managed to get a good look at that duel runner; it was ebony with slick yellow lines painted along with it, it had a pair of wings like Nozomi and Yukina's duel runners, except that these were in the form of a crow or raven's wings. Even the man's helmet was in the shape of a bird.
"Who are you?" Ai asked him.
"The name is Crow Hogan. How about we stop at my place and we can talk." He said to them, introducing himself to the four while giving them an offer that they couldn't refuse at the time. It was getting late, and they sure could use some shelter now that they have run off from Sector Security, and are probably wanted now.
"That would be great right now." Nozomi nodded as they followed this turbo duelist all the way towards the Satellite's harbor area.
When they got there, they were greeted by a host of young kids that were a little younger than the four girls as the four vehicles ground to a halt with a slight screech. So they took off their helmets, allowing Nozomi, Ai, Yukina, and Chiaya to get an awesome view of New Domino City, and to the blue-haired girl it was an awesome view.
"Hey Crow…" One of the kids greeted Crow, a girl with dark ocean blue hair with that hair in a bun covered by a silk wrap. "... Who are these four?"
"These are… Actually, I never got your names while we were running away from Sector Security." He was going to say before turning to look at the four girls.
"My name is Nozomi Moritomo, and these are my friends Yukina Kosaka, Ai Hibiki, and Chiaya Misono." The young brunette greeted as she introduced her three friends, the three of them waving at them. "We are trying to travel to New Domino City to participate in the Fortune Cup, though, it seems Sector Security was going to ruin everything for us."
"Well, glad that I caught you four before they had a chance to catch up." The orange haired young man commented just as Nozomi began to see an astral form of a bird-like creature with a yellow beak, green feathers that made up a headdress upon its head, the rest of those feathers around its body was a jet black, and big red beady eyes popping up beside him. It was looking at her with those red eyes as if it was very defensive, but Clear Wing popped up behind her in response.
Crow noticed that Nozomi was looking at something other than him or his friends. "Are you okay, Nozomi?" He asked her curiously.
"Oh, I just happened to notice that you have a Duel Monster Spirit floating right next to you, though he seems to be a little bit protective of you."
"A Duel Monster Spirit?" Crow exclaimed as he looked to his side. "I thought they were a myth."
Yukina then stepped up to explain to him about Nozomi's special gift. "It's true, Nozomi has a special gift to see and hear Duel Monster Spirits. But who do you see this time, Nozomi?"
"This one is a humanoid bird with red beady eyes, green and black feathers." She said to them as Crow looked at her with wide eyes as if he knew who she was talking about. He quickly pulled out his deck and began searching through it for the monster in question. He then stopped and showed the four the Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind.
"You saw Gale the Whirlwind?"
"Yep, that is what I saw." She nodded as the kids behind him were amazed by the whole thing.
"But with that being said… I think it is best that we head inside before Sector Security comes to this place and searches for us." Chiaya said as they all realized that she was right and began to move their duel runners into a safe area that Crow was using as well and covered all of them with a very large tarp - not only to hide them, but also to keep them safe from the falling rain. Once that was done, the four of them were offered some shelter within their little home in the harbor of the Satellite, Nozomi being allowed to sleep in Hikari's room until tomorrow where they could try and find a way to New Domino City without getting the attention of Sector Security in the process.
Nozomi had awoken from her slumber around five in the morning hearing the sound of a helicopter's rotor blades roaring on by - more than likely searching for her and her friends. But then, she saw Speedroid Den-Den Daiko Duke or who Nozomi called as a kid, Den-Den, sitting down next to her with a concerned face.
Is there something wrong, Nozomi? He asked her kindly.
"Oh, it is just Sector Security waking me up. It must be normal here in the inhabitants of the Satellite, under the iron fist and ever so watchful eye of Sector Security. I feel sorry for these people right now, that they have to live like this." She said, putting her head down, covering it with her arms and legs, feeling a little bit sad.
Don't worry, Nozomi. Den-Den told her, placing a hand on her shoulder while giving her a warm smile as she turned to look at that smiling face. Clear Wing has seen things as well, he thinks that you and him will help not just these people of the Satellite, but a few others that are very much like you in saving the old city, and the world in the process. He really doesn't know how you two are going to do that as he even forgot about his origins. So maybe when you guys find a way to get to New Domino City, you may find the answers that the two of you seek.
Nozomi could smile at Den-Den as she patted his head playfully, receiving a chuckle from the Speedroid. She remembered that these Speedroids and Symphonic Warriors were a perfect representation of her personality when she was just a little girl. She always wondered if that is why she chose them like they were actually a part of her. Now that she found out she had this ability to see Duel Monster Spirits since she was born, she believed it became stronger due to the bond she made with her Deck and Clear Wing Synchro Dragon.
Soon the noise began to subside; the helicopters more than likely heading back to their headquarters to either end the hunt for the night, or their fuel was already running out and they needed to refuel. This was a sign to Nozomi that she can finally go back to sleep for what time she had left, allowing Den-Den to disappear, but not before wishing her a peaceful sleep as he then returned home to Megaroid City.
When the sun finally rose from the East, Nozomi and Yukina were already working on their duel runners, tuning them up to make sure that they could outrun Sector Security as they tried to find a way to get to New Domino City. Thankfully, there were a lot of scraps that the two of them could scavenge off of - with a little help from Crow - to help with this tuning. In fact, that guy, Crow was very helpful in making the adjustments that they required to get the speed they needed.
"You are going to need to fit that cooling rod into that section there." Crow commented as he guided the young brunette as the two put in the rebuilt cooling rod that they properly fixed into her duel runner.
Nozomi then noticed that there was something that she forgot about and she saw that the dueling interface seemed to have been burned out, suspecting that it happened during her turbo duel with Kuniko Shigyou, so she called out to Crow…
"Hey Crow, it looks like my duel interface has been burned out!"
Crow crawled under her duel runner to see that her duel runner's duel interface indeed was burned out and was amazed by the sheer burnout of this piece of tech. "How did this even get this way?" He inquired, looking at her with wide eyes.
"I had a turbo duel yesterday with the leader of a rival vigilante group, unfortunately, it ended with her falling into the ocean, maybe the duel may have burned it out." She explained to him, feeling a little regret in her breath as she began to pull the duel interface out of its spot, and then handed it to Crow just as he noticed that mark weird red on her arm. "But I have faith that the current sent her drifting to New Domino City, so I have a double mission at hand."
He grabbed the damaged duel interface after staring at her arm for only thirty seconds, but before he mentioned her arm, he said to her… "W-well… Then I think I know an old friend that may be able to help you, and I can contact him once we finish these tune ups." But soon, curiosity began to overcome every other emotion and began to ask what was the deal with her arm. "So what's with that mark on your arm, Nozomi?" He asked her.
"Oh that?" She exclaimed. "This is something that I gained after getting one of my cards back, I think that you know of it, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon."
There was just a moment of silence from Crow before he yelled out, "WHAT~!" It almost echoed throughout their section of the Satellite with some of them actually hearing him. "You mean to tell me that you actually have the very first Synchro Monster ever made in your Deck?"
"Yeah?" Nozomi said with a nervous nod as they pulled out from under the duel runner, sat up, and then after she wiped much of the sweat off - she showed Crow her favorite Synchro monster. "And he has always been with me since I was gifted him by my father, though, I guess my grandfather was going to give me this card as a gift, but he died in the Zero Reverse energy blast just a month and half before I was born."
"Wow, your grandfather was there during the Zero Reverse explosion?" Qrow inquired, wanting to know more about her grandfather.
"He was a participating scientist along with a Mister Fudo, and brothers Roman and Rex Goodwin, according to my father's words."
This had definitely caught Crow's attention - especially when she mentioned the name Fudo. His best friend was the son of Mister Fudo, and maybe the only one that may be able to help these four in getting the New Domino City without getting the attention of Sector Security. And her grandfather… was a participating scientist during the Zero Reverse incident? In his mind, he wondered if she was talking about Doctor Hanzo Moritomo?
"Well, remember my friend that I mentioned before? Well he is actually the son of Mister Fudo, and maybe your only ticket into New Domino City." He said to her with a far more serious tone as they walked back into the piles of scraps that they gathered up from the Sector Security protected scrap yards to find some replacements for that old duel interface for her duel runner. "So let's get that duel interface up and running before he decides to go off without you and he is on his own little quest as well to find a man that he used to call a friend, and take back what he finds dearest to him."
He began to dig through the scraps, trying to find the parts for a new duel interface for Nozomi's duel runner, and there were definitely a few good parts to help in making a brand new piece of machinery. Once they found the necessary pieces, they began to fit the pieces together before carefully welding the specific parts of the interface. But to make sure that it worked, she began to fire her duel runner up along with her dueling systems and it was working perfectly, but she had to make sure that it would take the use of Clear Wing this time. So she summoned both Speedroids Horse Stilts and CarTurbo then used the two of them to summon Clear Wing, and she was not having any problems using him at all.
Although, she wondered why or how she managed to burn it out the last time when she had that turbo duel with Kuniko. Was it because of her mark? Her duel runner was built off the chassis of the Kamasaki H1 Mach III so she had to make most of it from scratch - with a bit of help from members of the Turbo Duel Society - so she probably wasn't surprised that they had to build this duel interface a bit differently from their original designs.
But soon, they had to leave, and find this Yusei Fudo that Crow mentioned. He told them to find an entrance to a subway tunnel that isn't caved-in, they should find Yusei and his friends there. They said that they would find such an entrance and then gunned the engines of their duel runners, making them go as fast as they could. But it seems that Sector Security had some helicopters planning to fly overhead on patrol, spotting them almost six minutes after they left Crow's little hideout.
"Oh no!" Chiaya exclaimed as she saw the helicopters flying by.
"This isn't good, now we're definitely going to have Sector Security riding up behind us." Ai retorted as Nozomi decided to split up into pairs as they tried to shake off or outduel Sector Security before they found Yusei Fudo.
Yukina and Chiaya were heading Northeast just as they heard the ominous sirens of the Sector Security heading their way and she began to get her deck and duel runner all set up for the oncoming duel. And sure enough a new Sector Security Officer was now right behind them and began calling out to them.
"Hold it! You two are coming with us!"
"You are going to have to beat me duel first!" The blue-haired girl said as she activated the Speed World Field Spell with just a flick of a switch. A switch that was set at the side of her duel runner's gas tank.
Yukina: 4000
Security: 4000
"Very well." The Officer grunted as he turned on his own Speed World Field Spell, the background around them turning into a very dark purple due to the effect of the Field Spell; it is the only way for the duel monsters, spell, and trap cards that they placed upon their Field Zone to reveal themselves. He then drew a card before he said to her. "I'll start this off by summoning Genta, Gateman of Dark World in attack mode!"
Then out from the ground, came the fiend in question with a sword in one hand, and a big shield in the other. He laughed a bit maniacally as he struck the same pose that was on his card artwork before joining his designated monster zone following its owner, hovering above the ground.
"Next I place two cards face-down, and end my turn." He finished, placing the two cards he mentioned into two Spell & Trap Zones to his right. "Well, let's see what you got."
"You are going to see that I am more than capable, I draw!" Yukina said drawing her first card, their Speed Counters going to one. She looked down at her hand, and now had Darklords Ixchel, Superbia, and Indulged, Super Polymerization, Darklord Contact, and Banishment of the Darklords in her hand. "I activate the effect of my Darklord Ixchel in my hand! By discarding two other cards in my hand, I can Special Summon her from my hand!"
So she discarded both Darklords Superbia and Indulged and out of a portal came a dark purple mist, followed by the silhouette of a fallen angel, revealing Ixchel herself sitting upon thin air in a very seductive manner while giving a wink and giggled a bit before blowing a kiss. She then hovered next to her owner on a monster zone to Yukina's right with a small giggle.
"Next I play the Spell Card, Darklord Contact - this allows me to Special Summon a Darklord from my Graveyard, and I choose Darklord Superbia!"
The same portal and mist appeared allowing an ancient pot-like angel with wings to reveal itself and lined up on the other side of Yukina's field. It gave a loud cooing noise like a pigeon and he struck his own pose before he fell in line on the field.
"Next, I activate his effect! I can Special Summon another Darklord from my Graveyard, and I choose the last one I have in my Graveyard, the Indulged Darklord in Defense Mode!" She continued to talk just as Superbia's insides began to shine so brightly with bright blue light, and out into the skies, allowing a new Fallen Angel's silhouette to appear. It then revealed a young, one winged Fallen Angel sitting down in a nearly similar pose that Darklord Ixchel did before lining up alongside Ixchel in Defense Mode.
"And since I summoned Indulged Darklord, I can now take two Darklords in my Deck and I add one to my hand, and Special Summon one to your field. So I summon Darklord Ukoback to your field, and add another to my hand."
Indulged Darklord then reached into yet another portal that brought forth both Ixchel and Superbia and threw a bright blue orb to the Officer's side of the field - which transformed into the Darklord Ukoback that Yukina mentioned, giving a look of determination as was set in Defense Mode. She then pulled out another orb that she immediately sent into her owner's hand in the form of another card.
"And now, I'll summon it - I release both Darklords Ixchel and Superbia to summon forth their supreme leader, Darklord Morningstar!" She called out as both Ixchel and Superbia turned into orbs and different colors before the two merged together, allowing the tall shadowy figure with three pairs of wings to reveal itself to be a tall Fallen Angel, and clad in dark purple armor, and a similar colored sword in his dominant hand. "I then activate his effect; I can now Special Summon from my Deck up to the number of monsters you control! So I can summon Darklords Nasten and Tezcatlipoca to my field!"
But just as Morningstar slammed his sword to the ground, allowing two other portals covered in the same dark purple mist to appear, the Sector Security Officer then stopped him, dead in his tracks.
"Hold it, I play a Trap; Dark World Brainwashing!" He called out as one of his Trap Card revealed itself. "It allows me to return Genta, Gateman of Dark World to my hand. In exchange, I can change the effect of your Morningstar, forcing me to discard a random card from my hand! So go ahead, pick a random card in my hand."
Genta then disappeared back to his hand due to the effect of the Trap Card. Four large cards then appeared over his head as he spoke to her as the two portals that the leader of the Darklords created disappeared to the Darklord's disappointment.
I have to make sure that it is not a Dark World Monster, but if his hand is nothing but monsters, then I have to make sure that it's a weak Dark World Monster that is discarded from his hand. Yukina said in her thoughts as she was deciding between the four cards in his hand, looking at each of them.
"I pick the card on your far left!" She declared as it revealed itself to be a Level Six Dark World Monster.
"You forced me to discard Lucent, Netherlord of Dark World!" He said as he sent it to the Graveyard. "His effect then activates - I can Special Summon him, and since he was discarded by your card effect, I can not only Special Summon him from the Graveyard, I can also Special Summon another Darkworld from my Deck to my field, so I Special Summon Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World!"
Very soon, the ground began to split open again, and two pairs of hands appeared to reveal the two Dark World Monsters in question, Grapha letting out an angry roar, and Lucent letting out a deep, dark laugh that could pierce the hearts of many before they lined up on either side of Darklord Ukoback, but the Darklord was unphased as if he knew what was going to happen.
"As nice as those two Darklords were to summon, but I do have another monster waiting for you, but I think it is appropriate to bring him forth." She said to him, pulling a card from her hand. "I discard a card to activate Super Polymerization! I fuse Darklord Morningstar and the Indulged Darklord on my field, with the Darklord Ukoback on your field to call forth your doom!"
The three Darklords began to get sucked into the spiraling plume of pitch black clouds, lightning flashing down upon wrecked streets of the Satellite. The Sector Security Officer is not just speechless, but also horrified by the sheer power of this Spell Card. He watched the spiral sucking up the three Darklords almost into its giant maw. But they did not resist its effects, and in fact, they seemed to welcome this power of the Spell Card that she activated.
Chiaya looked back at her blue-haired friend, her eyes changed from a light blue color to a very dark blue with a very demonic look to it. She was shocked that her friend was acting like this as she was talking like she was cold, collected, ruthless, and almost merciless towards the Sector Security Officer. She had never seen her act like this in her entire life. Her heart began to sink every time that Yukina used the First Darklord's effects or just attacked the opponent - this case being the Sector Security Officer that was chasing after them. It was like there was another part of her that even she didn't know about.
"The Rebellious Angel, the Angel of Seduction, and the Fallen Angel Servant shall now become one to bring forth the Sanctuary's destruction! I Fusion Summon, Morningstar, the First Darklord!" Yukina chanted before slamming the card she pulled from her Extra Deck down into the central Monster Zone, and as the three Darklords fused together allowing a new Morningstar with hair that was slightly longer, new and more improved dark purple armor, his sword lit with a bright purple fire in one hand, and in the other hand was a shield of the same color as his armor. "Now, since the original Morningstar was used as Fusion Material, he can destroy all the cards on your field!"
"What!" The Officer exclaimed.
"Go! Fall of Sanctuary Strike!" Yukina commanded as the Darklord did her bidding, his sword ablaze with purple fire - raised into the air - and struck the ground so hard that a giant purple blast of fire basically annihilated the Dark World cards with so much smoke obscuring the entire field in the process.
Yukina now believed that she had the opening she needed for a direct attack. But once all the smoke finally cleared she was shocked at what she saw. The two Dark World monsters, Lucent and Grapha had survived the destruction effect.
"What? I thought I destroyed your monsters." She said, feeling a little angry until she saw that she had destroyed the two cards in his Spell & Trap Card Zones.
"You did, but do remember my other down card?" He explained to her as she instantly remembered that he did have another face-down card other than the Dark World Brainwashing that he had on his field. "Well once you destroyed Dark World Punishment as well as the Dark World Monsters I had on the field, it allowed me to trigger its second effect in the Graveyard, I can remove this card to protect the Dark Worlds I have on the field from being destroyed."
"Well, I can still attack your monsters, and I think I'll start by attacking Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World. So go to it Morningstar, Darklord Vengeance!" She declared, pointing right at the dragon-like Dark World Monster as the powered up version of the original Morningstar raised his weapons into the air as its flames grew stronger and brighter than it did originally and dropped it down upon the Dark World Dragon, it's power was more than enough to obliterate the beast in a fiery explosion.
Yukina: 4000
Security: 2700
"And that will end my turn, your move." She finished as she turned to look at the Sector Security Officer.
"My turn." The Officer said drawing his next card. "And I summon Fabled Raven from my hand in Defense Mode."
A portal then opened to reveal a tall and lanky archfiend with pale purple skin. He was wearing an ancient form of clothing that could be that of the ancient Aztecs from Mexico. On his arms and legs were black feathers with red tips at the end, forming what seemed to be wings on each of his limbs. His eyes are as crimson as the blood that runs through the veins of a human. He snickered as he struck the same pose as was on his card before flying at the side of Lucent in a very Harpy-like fashion, like he was going to swoop down and attack his opponent or her only monster.
"Next, I activate the Spell Card, Dark World Dealings - now each player can draw a card, but we have to discard a card in the process."
So both he and Yukina both drew a card, and she managed to draw Darklord Descent from her Deck, however, she had to discard it from her hand in the process. But, this was of no consequence for Yukina as she can apply their effects to the Darklords once she gets them out of the Graveyard.
"Next I activate the effect of Broww, Huntsman of Dark World in my Graveyard - since he was discarded, I get to draw an extra card from my Deck." He then drew the card from his deck and decided to put it to good use. "And I'll activate it now, Charge of the Dark World - this allows me to Special Summon the Broww, Huntsman of Dark World that I just discarded onto the field in Attack Mode, then I must discard a fiend from my hand."
Broww then appeared out of a purple portal that appeared on the ground. He let out a great roar with his bow in hand before he joined Lucent and Fabled Raven on the field.
"Now I activate the effect of Snoww, Unlight of Dark World from my Graveyard as well - I can add a Dark World card from my Deck to my Hand." And once he pulled the Dark World card he needed he then looked back at. "Next I play the effect of the Grapha in my Graveyard - now, by returning a Dark World Monster on my field to my hand, I can Special summon him from the Graveyard, you cannot keep these Dark Worlds down."
Grapha then rose from the Earth once again with an angry roar!
"Now I tune my Level Six Lucent, Netherlord of Dark World with my Level Two Fabled Raven!" Lucent then leapt into the air as the Fabled monster turned into a pair of green Synchro Rings, following the Dark World. "The Underworld will now bring forth their lord of all Lightning! I Synchro Summon Groza, Tyrant of Thunder!"
A great flash of lightning then engulfed the stars that the two monster's combined levels made up before revealing a dark purple fiend clad in silver and purple armor, horns that took the appearance of a crown upon his hand. A cape was draped on the back of this giant monster. On one hand was a giant staff that gave off a large electrical charge.
"Next, I play Polymerization, fusing my Grapha on my field, and the Genta in my Hand!"
"What!" Yukina exclaimed in shock.
"You are not the only one that can Fusion Summon!" The two cards then began to stand on either side of a small ball of black light. "The Dragon of the dark dimension combines with the dark dimension's Gateman, in order to become a Dragon Overlord! I Fusion Summon Grapha, Dragon Overlord of Dark World!"
Then, a more monstrous form of the Dark World Dragon appeared in the place of the two other Dark World Monsters.
"I now activate the Dark World Archives Spell Card - by discarding the Reign-Beaux, Overking of Dark World in my hand, Overlord Grapha now gains attack points equal to his level multiplied by one hundred until the end of the turn." He continued as Overlord Grapha began to glow a very dark purple, his attack power increasing while he roared. "And since the Overking Reign-Beaux was discarded by card my own card effect, I can now add yet another Dark World Monster so long as it is Level Five or Higher."
He then pulled the Dark World he wanted from his Deck.
"Now, Overlord Grapha, attack Morningstar, the First Dark Lord with Rage of the Dragon Overlord!"
Grapha then charged towards Morningstar not before Morningstar charged towards him as well, raising his fiery sword into the air. The two struck each other as they passed each other in a flash of light. A moment of silence before the two blew up in a great explosion that nearly caused the two to lose control of their duel runners, rubble falling down on their track due to the explosion. However, when the smoke finally cleared, they had managed to regain control of their vehicles as they continued their turbo duel.
"I am not done yet! Grozer, Tyrant of Thunder, attack her directly! Thunder Strike of the Underworld!"
The Thunder Tyrant raised his staff into the air, lightning coming out of the disk of the staff, and striking Yukina with a few bolts. This caused her to yell out in pain as she lost control of her duel runner for only a few seconds while she fell out of formation with Chiaya, and was now trying to catch up with her and the Sector Security Officer.
Yukina: 1200
Security: 2700
Chiaya called out to Yukina in shock. "Are you alright Yukina?"
"Y-yeah, I'm fine. But for some reason, that hurt, like a lot." Yukina replied with a grunt just as she managed to regain control of her duel runner.
"Well I am not done yet, since I discarded a Dark World Monster due to the effect of a Dark World Card, I get to draw two cards from my Deck thanks to Dark World Archives, but I have to discard a card first." The Officer said as he drew the two cards from his deck then sent a familiar Dark World to the Graveyard. "And I think you know about the effect of Broww, so I don't think I need to explain it." He then drew yet another card from his deck. "And I'll finish my turn off with one card face-down."
Once that one card he mentioned was placed face down on the field, he looked back at his target. "Let's see if you can come back after this."
"Oh trust me, I intend to!" Yukina said angrily, pulling a card from her deck, starting off her. She looked down at it and it was Pot of Avarice. "I play Pot of Avarice - I shuffle 5 of my Monsters in my Graveyard into the Deck, then I draw two cards." She then placed the five cards into the Deck, allowing it to shuffle them back into the Deck before she drew the two cards from the Deck. She drew Superbia, and Trade-In which was a good draw in her mind.
"I then activate Trade-In - I discard a Level Eight Monster to Draw two more cards from my Deck."
She then drew Monster Reborn and Foolish Burial.
Perfect! She said in her thoughts with a creepy grin on her face as then put them to good use. "I play Foolish Burial, this sends a Monster from my Deck to the Graveyard, and I choose Capricious Darklord!" She then took Capricious Darklord from her Deck, and then sent the card to the Graveyard.
"I then play Monster Reborn - to bring back Morningstar, the First Darklord!"
A foggy purple portal then opened allowing the heavily armed and armored Leader of the Darklords to reappear to the field. And he was angrier than usual.
"I then activate his second Special Ability - I pay a thousand Life Points to bring back the Darklord that I discarded with Trade-In, I summon, Superbia back from the Graveyard!" A purple aura then appeared around her for only a few seconds before Superbia appeared out of another foggy purple portal.
Yukina: 200
Security: 2700
"And I think you know what Superbia can do - so I bring back Capricious Darklord from the Graveyard!" She continued just as Superbia then brought forth the brunette Darklord out of the Graveyard, her evil grin visible under the shadow created by her hair as well as her piercing red eyes showing that she was taking delight in the darkness. "And now her effect kicks in, your Grozer loses five hundred Attack Points for each of the Darklords on my field, and since there are three Darklords, your Groza, Tyrant of Thunder loses fifteen-hundred Attack Points."
"I don't think so, I activate his effect!" The Sector Security Officer objected just as his monster gave off a menacing growl, and Capricious was going to throw a ball of black energy at the Archfiend. "By discarding a card from my Hand - I can paralyze your Capricious Darklord's effect until the end of the turn. Which means Groza is safe from your power down effect!"
Groza then raised his staff into the air as lightning immediately flashed down and struck the brunette Darklord, causing her to scream in pain. It went on for a few minutes, as if Groza found it best to make it last for a while. But once the lightning halted, Capricious had been left as a dark husk, her eyes closed from the immense pain with the rest of her body left hanging in the air like she was sleepwalking. And black sphere of energy that she was trying to create had completely vanished with no trace of it to be seen.
"And since a fiend was sent from my Hand to the Graveyard, I can protect him with one of three effects. And I choose to protect him from battle."
A Byzantium Purple aura began to form around him, a protective aura that prevented him being destroyed in battle.
"And since Parl, Hermit of Dark World was discarded, I can Special Summon another Dark World to my field straight from her Graveyard, and I choose Reign-Beaux, Overking of Dark World!"
Parl's apparition appeared spinning his staff around a bit, allowing the ground to open once again, a giant hand appearing out of the ground as Reign-Beaux to appear out of it with a giant spear in his hand with a rainbow colored lightning coming out of it. A great evil laugh came out of his beast-like mouth with only a single movement of his mouth.
"Well… You have taken the bait, now, Morningstar, the First Darklord, attack Overking Reign-Beaux with Darklord Vengeance!"
The Morning did what he was told to do and attacked Reign-Beaux with one strike.

"I end my turn."
But just before the Security Officer could start his turn, a power blast of electricity had been triggered in the form of a decently sized dome, causing his electrically charged duel runner to shut down on him. This forced him to forfeit the duel and making the mainly gas driven Duel Runner of Yukina untouched, and the winner of the turbo duel.
What was that? She said to herself in her thoughts, her eyes turning back to normal as she roared straight past the Sector Security Officer - who was also dumbfounded by what just happened until it looked like he came to a realization. It took a little longer for Yukina and Chiaya until they figured it out, they must have crossed into a secret trap made by the true citizens of the Satellite to get Sector Security away from them. Which was a sign that they were heading in the right direction. So right now, Yukina thought it was perfect timing and began to gun her duel runner's engine just as she noticed an old subway entrance that Crow had mentioned to them.
"Hey Nozomi, Ai, we found the subway entrance, I am sending you our location now!" She said to their friends over the screen.
"Great to hear! Because we just managed to finish off our Sector Security persuiters so we'll be joining you guys in just a few minutes." Nozomi said to them, her face appearing on the screen.
The two then pulled alongside next to the entrance, near a dark alleyway, keeping them and their vehicles safe from the sight of Sector Security for the time being, Yukina leaning next to a wall, and Chiaya looking over her Ice Barrier Deck. And they were sure that Nozomi and Ai would make it soon. And they had to wait for a good fifteen long, and arduous minutes before they could hear the sound of Nozomi's duel runner heading their way. Yukina could only sigh as she and Chiaya walked out of the alleyway to see that their two friends had stopped just next to the entrance to the subway tunnel.
"Glad that you two finally made it." Yukina said to them, probably knowing that whoever was hiding inside the subway tunnel was probably hearing them right now.
"Well, let's hope that this Yusei Fudo is down there right now." Nozomi said, taking her helmet off before shaking her hair a bit and then turned to look down at the entrance to the tunnels with a somewhat serious face. "They probably know that we are already here. So the best we can probably do is let them know that we are not Sector Security for now before we tell them our mission."
She was the first one to take her first step into the subway, looking into the darkness with vague shapes of old and weathered pillars that were still holding the ground above up. Though, Ai had this sinking feeling that it was going to cave-in at any time, and this made her feel uneasy but managed to stay as calm as she could. Yukina wasn't worried as she had read up on the Satellite before they had arrived and she knew the subway was one of the few places that held together during the Zero Reverse incident. Chiaya took a few pictures as she walked down the steps, using the flash on her camera to get a better look at the place.
"Hello~" Nozomi called out to whoever was in there, looking around the place carefully. "You can come out, we are not Sector Security, in fact, we are against Sector Security! In fact, we had dueled against them!"
Very soon, a young man with dark hair with a few golden highlights, wearing a black, sleeveless shirt with a red symbol, a blue jacket with amber gems placed upon the shoulders. His hands were covered by a pair of gloves. He was also wearing a pair of black jeans with two other amber gems placed upon the knees of his jeans, acting like knee pads, a belt with a pair of Deck holsters under the jacket. And on his feet were a pair of motorcycle boots.
"Are you sure you are not part of Sector Security?" He said to the four of them, he had his duel disk ready to use against them. Behind him were four others that peaked their heads from behind the edge of the subway station.
"Look man, we had just turbo duels against them, I don't see how that isn't proof enough for you guys!" Yukina said to him feeling that he was insulted by the man's words, and she was going to gladly take him up on a duel as she pulled out her duel disk from her duel runner before they entered the old station. Her eyes changed back to the dark blue coloration that Chiaya saw when she dueled the Sector Security Officer which made her shudder a bit.
But thankfully, Nozomi got in the way before they could even start their duel, one of her hands closest to her blue-haired friend before turning to look at the young man. But there was another reason why she had stopped her friend - the mark that she gained from Clear Wing had triggered when Yukina's eyes had changed. And this surprised both Yukina and the young man as they looked at her with those looks on their faces - though when her mark triggered, another mark appeared on his right arm, looking like a mask.
This initially surprised the four friends, and the friends of the young man. But Nozomi was the more surprised as she realized that there were others with a similar mark as hers. But she wondered if all these marks were connected, which means this giant crimson dragon wants something from those who had these marks? She guessed while she was waiting for the arrival of the Fortune Cup, she could look up anything about a giant crimson dragon at a library.
"I apologize for my friend's behavior, but we are telling the truth, we are from the state of Tokorozawa, trying to make it to New Domino City for the upcoming Fortune Cup, but we can't even trust Sector Security." She said to them, trying to be as polite as she could be to him as the two lowered their duel disks. "My name is Nozomi Moritomo, and these are my friends Ai Hibiki, Yukina Kosaka, and Chiaya Misono. We are looking for Yusei Fudo, a friend of his by the name of Crow who had recommended him to us because he said that he has a way for us to get to New Domino City."
"Well, you have found him." The young man said to the four of them, easing up to them with a calmer tone of voice. "And yes, I had figured out a way to get into New Domino City." He then brought them to a small laptop that they had. "You see, there is a pipeline that connects the Satellite and New Domino City, a chute that is meant for waste, and it is temporarily closed for maintenance. This is our only ticket to New Domino City."
Ai could only give a disgusted look on her face; just having the idea of going through a waste pipe in order to get to New Domino City was probably one of the most disgusting ways to just get to New Domino City. On the other hand though, it was probably the only way to get into the city without much trouble from Sector Security, and it may be their only shot at it. So they had to do this - or they would never partake in the Fortune Cup.
Yukina saw no other choice in this, because if they don't make it then they may be sitting behind prison cells at Sector Security Headquarters for evading law enforcement. She narrowly escaped being captured by that one Sector Security Officer, and she didn't want that to happen again. She was determined not to suffer that fate again.
To Chiaya this was all new to her apparently. What was she hiding from the others? Was she even from Japan? She was looking at the laptop with a look of fascination. It was as if she had never seen this kind of technology.
"I say, let's do it!" Nozomi said, clenching a fist tightly while giving a smirk upon her face showing that she will do anything to get to the Fortune Cup. "If this is the only way to get to New Domino City, then so be it. And not even Sector Security will try to stop us this time!" She then looked down at Yusei with that same determined look. "So how long do we have?"
"We are going to have a narrow window of opportunity. It will only stay open for only a few minutes before they close it again and if we don't make it in time, then it will all be covered in junk before being shipped to the Facility by Sector Security."
"I like those odds!" She said with a smirk on her face.
It was only a couple of hours before they would set out on the mission, until Nozomi saw Yukina silently scrubbing her duel runner with a cloth that she had while on their journey to New Domino City. She really didn't look happy, it was as if a different personality had been taking its turn to use the body that was Yukina's. This was what worried Nozomi a bit more, in her mind, she wondered if she didn't know something like her parents haven't told her if she had another personality.
"Hey, Yukina…" She said to her kindly.
Yukina looked behind her and was surprised to hear her friend was right behind her. So she decided to talk to her despite having a surprised look on her face, but was unaware that she was angry, or perhaps the fact that she had a totally different personality as well. "Oh, Yukina, what's up?"
"Are you feeling okay? You seem to be a little different around a few people. Just to give an example, you seem to act differently when we tried to talk down Yusei. Even your eyes had changed color when you got angry at him, and for some reason, triggered the mark on my arm, and the mark that was on Yusei's arm. Is there something that you aren't telling us right now?"
"I actually don't know what you are talking about, Nozomi. I don't remember even being angry at Yusei. Come to think of it, I don't remember much about the duel with Sector Security, all I remember was him starting off his field with a Dark World Monster and a couple of cards face-down, and that was it."
"So you are actually saying that you do not know that you were angry at Yusei, let alone having a complete change in character?"
She simply nodded to her in response.
Her voice sounded honest with no hint of a lie to be heard within that tongue of hers. Which confirms Nozomi's suspicions and made her wonder if she has any control of this other personality or at the very least be able to see what this personality was doing with her body. Perhaps when they arrive in New Domino City, the first thing that they are going to do after they find a place to rest, is to see a Psychologist to see if they can at least learn something about this personality, maybe even trace it back to its original source.
Yukina could tell that Nozomi knew that she actually did get angry at Yusei. Which made her heart sink, to think that she would get angry at Yusei just mistaking them for Sector Security Officers. But she doesn't actually remember any of this happening. What was wrong with her and what was the source of her change of character.
"Well, whatever is happening, we may have to go see Psychologist. They may be able to help us find out what is wrong with you." Nozomi concluded.
"I am sure that they can help us in this endeavor." She said to her, feeling rather bad that she may have another personality. And in fact, a shadow was kneeling down on her knees right behind her with a dark aura emanating from her.
