Duel Monsters Are Magic 5ds

by snivygamer97

Turbo Duel Acceleration!

It all started with plans to visit Jaden and his friends, seeing how they were doing ever since their graduation from Duel Academy. According to Yubel, everyone was doing fine, but they wanted to go and make sure that there weren't any life threatening situations going on. The Mane 6 and Spike were ready to head to out to the Duel Monsters Dimension, as Pinkie Pie called it. They had gotten their decks together, finished all necessary work for the day, and were ready to leave.
“Okay guys. We should check carefully to make sure we have everything we need before we head back to see Jaden and the others,” Twilight interrupted everyone’s conversations with each other. “We have our decks and Duel Disks, right?”
“Yeah we have them, Twilight. I don’t know why you have to ask. We’ve had them ready to go ever since Nightshroud invaded Duel Academy,” Rainbow Dash said, annoyed with Twilight’s OCD involving being ready.
“Yeah, Twilight. I understand your concerns, sugarcube, but I don’t think it’s all that necessary. We’re just going to be in and out fairly quickly. It’s unlikely there will be any additional threats to worry about,” Applejack tried to calm down Twilight.
“I agree with Applejack, darling. We’ve been ready to go back for a month now. I just hope everyone has been wearing the outfits I made for them,” Rarity said.
“Yeah. We can have a really fun party with them too. I can’t wait!” Pinkie Pie was excited to return to see everyone again.
“Yeah. I hope Pharaoh is doing fine. It’s been a while since we’ve seen him,” Fluttershy timidly added on. 
“Well, I guess we’re ready to go. Spike, the Dimensional Scissors, please,” Twilight ordered her number one assistant. 
“Right here, Twilight. Hopefully we’ll all have a great time with Jaden and the others,” Spike wished them all luck. 
“Thanks. We’ll try,” Twilight responded as she used the scissors to open a portal. “See you in a little bit, Spike.” However, right before the group could walk through the portal, it was surrounded by a dark outline. Following this, the Mane 6 and Spike were sucked into the portal before they could escape. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly, a vortex opened close to the Daimon Area, with Twilight Sparkle exiting out of the vortex. “Whoa, where am I? Where is everyone?” Twilight wondered aloud as she noticed that none of her friends were present. She looked around at her surroundings and saw many tall buildings as well as an area where she could see many people Dueling. “Looks like we’re in the Duel Monster’s Dimension, but where?” She continued to look around until she saw a young man with red hair walk into the Daimon Area. “Hey. Excuse me, but would you mind telling me where I am at?”
The man responded, “So, you’re lost I see. Well then, you’re in the Daimon Area of Neo Domino City. People come here looking for a good Duel without being sent to Satellite. The worst of the worst usually hang out here.” The man then walked into the square, leaving Twilight to ponder over what she just heard.
So, she was at least some distance into the future, given the name of the city she was in. The only question was how far into the future was she? Before she could ponder about this any further, she realized that she was close to a criminal sector of the city and that she should probably leave. However, before she could leave, a strange feeling of familiarity entered her head that she couldn’t explain. It may be risky, but she decided to check this area to see if any of her friends could have ended up here.
When Twilight entered this sector, she saw many people with yellow marks, mostly males, watching a Duel. Of particular note, she noticed a man with spiky blue hair with a thin yellow mark on his face. He was busy Dueling a man that looked a lot like the guy called Joey Wheeler, with some people disputing if his name was Jesse or Thunder. She was about to cautiously ask if either of them had seen her friends when the Duel continued. 
“Next, I activate the spell card Cost Down! This card lets me discard one card from my hand in order to summon monsters with one less tribute depending on their level. This means that no sacrifices are needed to summon Ushi Oni (2150)!” The blue haired man cried out. 
Before he could continue his move, Twilight, noticing his hand containing Giant Ushi Oni and Dark Hole, and his opponent controlling Dark Catapulter in Defense Mode (1500), then commented, “You know, you could have easily gained a lead if you played Dark Hole before you summoned Ushi Oni.”
The blue haired man looked away from the Duel for a moment to look at Twilight, giving her an angry glare. “Well, now that that interruption is over, I now tribute Ushi Oni in order to play Giant Ushi Oni (2600)!” A giant bull spider hybrid was summoned to the blue haired man’s field. “Now, Giant Ushi Oni, attack his Dark Catapulter!” Dark Catapulter was destroyed in an instant. “Now, thanks to Giant Ushi Oni’s special ability, I can now wage a second attack on your Life Points! Now, Giant Ushi Oni, attack his Life Points directly!” Giant Ushi Oni delivered a direct attack, lowering his opponent’s Life Points from 1500 to 0. “Aw, yeah! Who is the best Duelist in the area? That’s right. Me!”
“Well, technically I may be just the slightest bit better than you. Also, my friend Rainbow Dash may give you a run for your money,” Twilight interrupted the blue haired man’s gloating, much to his anger.
“Um, excuse me, but who are you?” the blue haired man asked with bitterness in his tone.
“Oh, my name is Twilight Sparkle. And I’m a graduate from Duel Academy. I was one of the best Duelists of my year,” Twilight explained, not liking how the man’s eyes narrowed in anger the more she spoke.
“Well, my name is Bolt Tanner, though I’m usually called Tanner. So, you claim to be a great Duelist. Well, why don’t we find out how good you are in a Duel,” Tanner said.
“Well, I would but I’m looking for my friends and I see that they’re not here. So, I think that I’ll just be going now,” Twilight tried to back away only for some other Duelists to block off her escape.
“I’m afraid that you are not going anywhere until you finish our Duel. So go ahead and get your Deck and Duel Disk ready. It’s time to see who’s the best,” Tanner said as he prepared his Duel Disk.
“Um, okay,” Twilight nervously placed her Deck into her Duel Disk and her Duel Disk shuffled her Deck. 
“Hold on,” another distorted female voice said. Everyone turned to see that there was a cloaked figure in the Damian Area, wearing a white mask and sporting red hair. “I’ve decided that you, Tanner, are in need of some challenge. So, I’ve decided to give it to you. I’ll Duel with Twilight, and we’ll share Life Points. So, do we have a deal? I can’t wait to see you squirm as you face my wrath!”
Everyone present, except for Twilight, the red haired man, and Tanner, seemed to be scared and muttered about a “Black Rose Witch,” shocked that she was apparently real and not a myth.
“I accept. Let’s see what the two of you are made of,” Tanner said.
“Let’s Duel!” All three Duelists cried out.
“I’ll start things off. I summon Jirai Gumo in Attack Mode (2200)! And I’ll also play two cards facedown for later. Now, let’s see what you’ve got Twiley,” Tanner egged his opponent on.
“Well then, it’s my turn. I draw. I activate the spell card Dark Magic Curtain. Now, by paying half of my Life Points, I can summon a Dark Magician from my Deck at the cost of not being able to summon another monster this turn (2500),” Twilight said. “Next, I play the spell card Dark Magic Attack, which destroys all of my opponent’s spells and traps if I control a Dark Magician.” Dark Magic blasts hit  and destroyed the two facedowns, which were revealed to be Mirror Force and Trap Hole. “Now, attack and destroy his Jirai Gumo. Dark Magic Attack!” Dark Magician attacked and destroyed the massive spider.

To everyone's shock, the attack caused a scratch to form on Tanner’s face. “I’ll end my turn with two facedowns. It’s your move, Tanner,” Twilight said as she ended her turn.
“What just happened? Attacks during a Duel shouldn’t be real. I don’t know how you did this, but I’ll still win. Though, I will admit that you aren’t that bad. I activate Monster Reborn to bring back my Jirai Gumo. Next, I tribute my Jirai Gumo in order to summon Ushi Oni in Attack Mode (2150)! But he won’t be here for long, because I tribute him in order to summon Giant Ushi Oni (2600)! Now, let’s finish this. Giant Ushi Oni, attack her Dark Magician!”
“I activate my trap card Negate Attack! This cancels your attack and ends the battle phase,” Twilight explained.
“So, you do have some skill. Congratulations. However, you won’t last much longer. I end my turn,” Tanner said.
“Well, then it’s my move. I draw. I have to thank my friend Twilight here for eliminating your traps. Now I can put an end to this Duel. I plan to enjoy my success and your destruction. I summon Twilight Rose Knight (1000). But he won’t be here for long, because I activate his special ability in order to summon Botanical Lion in Attack Mode (1600). Botanical Lion’s Attack Points increase by 300 for each plant monster on the field (1900). Now I’ll tune my Twilight Rose Knight with my Botanical Lion in order to Synchro Summon Black Rose Dragon (2400)!” The mysterious figure said as she summoned a rose petal dragon onto the duo’s field.
“T-that monster. That’s Rarity’s card. What are you doing with that card?” Twilight questioned the figure.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve owned this card for as long as I can remember. Now, by removing a plant-type monster in my graveyard from play, I can reduce your Giant Ushi Oni’s Attack Points to 0. Next, I’ll attack your monster with Dark Magician!”

“That attack. It felt real too, but stronger. Who are you two?” Tanner asked the duo.
“That is of no importance. All you need to know is that victory shall be ours. Black Rose Dragon, attack his Life Points directly!” Said dragon’s vines striked Bolt Tanner, causing him quite a bit of pain in the process. As Tanner’s Life Points hit 0, he fell to the ground in pain.
“Ugh, you two! I have something to say to you!” Tanner yelled as he struggled to get up. However, before he could say anything, Sector Security suddenly arrived and approached Tanner, with everyone in the area starting to run before they could get caught too.
“Bolt Tanner, you’re under arrest for being a part of illegal underground Duels. Come with us, Tanner,” One of the members of Sector Security said as two of the members started to drag him off.
“Wait! How did you find me? I was laying low!” Tanner yelled, outraged at his arrest.
“Well, we got an anonymous call from a concerned citizen. We’d thank them, but they likely already left the area. Now, let’s go Tanner,” another member of Sector Security said.
Twilight, meanwhile, was unsure of what to do. As she tried to leave the area, she was approached by the red haired man from earlier. “Hey, you. You’re a psychic Duelist, aren’t you?”
Twilight nervously asked, “Um, I don’t know?” 
“Well, don’t worry. We know of a good place for you to go to as a psychic Duelist. Come with us,” the red haired man said as he turned to walk away. Left without many options, Twilight followed after the man and the Black Rose figure rather than stay and get caught.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Here we are. The Arcadia Movement’s headquarters,” the red haired man gestured toward the building in front of him. “This can be your new home. Most of society has rejected psychic Duelists. They see them as monsters, freaks, and a bunch of other negative connotations. But don’t worry. This can be your new home.”
“B-but… I already have a home. I need to find my friends,” Twilight said.
“In that case, at least allow us to give you a place to stay. We’ll give you a room to stay in. You seem to be a particularly strong psychic Duelist, too,” the man said.
“Don’t worry. Sayer will take care of you. After all, he has done all he can to help me,” the red haired woman known as the Black Rose Witch said. “By the way, my name is Akiza Izinski.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly, Rainbow Dash and Spike found themselves in a city surrounded by buildings that looked destroyed or at least damaged. Everything looked poor in quality from the buildings to the ground.
“W-Where are we? This doesn’t look like anywhere I saw in Domino City,” Rainbow Dash asked, trying to hide her fear.
“I don’t know. What I can tell is that this place looks like a warzone,” Spike responded. “What do you think happened here to cause such damage?”
“I’m not sure. Maybe a threat like Nightshroud or some earthquake?” Rainbow suggested.
“Well, either way, let’s look around. Maybe there is a survivor that can tell us what happened,” Spike suggested back, to which Rainbow nodded in agreement.
 Eventually, they found themselves underground, with the sky visible through the cracks up above. After some time, they found themselves in a room where three males were standing around a computer screen.
“So, what are you guys watching?” Rainbow Dash asked the trio.
At this, the trio panicked, not expecting this random visitor to show up at their hideaway.
“Nothing!” a man with brown hair and somewhat bulky tried to deny.
“What are you doing here? Don’t you know that this is our space? Are you here to steal it from us?” A man wearing a bandanna questioned.
“Um, no. I was just wandering around and wanted to know where I was,” Rainbow Dash responded.
“Well, you see-,” the bulky man started.
“You know exactly where we are! We are in the underground part of Satellite!” The bandanna-wearing man responded.
“Um, what is Satellite?” Spike asked.
At this, the entire group was floored. They did not expect to hear someone not know where they were while in Satellite.
“Satellite is a place where those rejected by Neo Domino City stay. Whether they be crooks or innocent faces, it doesn’t matter. If you’re in Satellite, you’re a nobody,” The man with braided hair explained.
“Well, that doesn’t sound fair! How do we get out of here?!” Rainbow Dash demanded.
“Calm down, Rainbow Dash! We should be careful what we say,” Spike warned.
“I’m sorry, but there isn’t a way out. Well, there is one, but it is fairly tricky,” the bulky man explained. “In fact, we were going to see something involving someone who did make it out.”
“Can we see?” Rainbow Dash asked them. 
“As long as you don’t steal or hurt us you can stay and watch, but it isn’t likely to be a happy story to tell you,” the bandanna-wearing man warned.
“Try me,” Rainbow Dash pried.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“It’s time for today’s greatest Turbo Duel! He’s coming! Everybody listen! King of Duel Runners Jack Atlas!” The announcer MC introduced the reigning champion of Neo Domino City. Jack proceeded to race out into the arena on his Duel Runner, a white motorcycle-like vehicle made for the express purpose of Turbo Dueling. He got onto the main track and zoomed out on it.
“Sorry to keep you waiting! I’m the king!” Jack Atlas called out to the adoring crowd.
Meanwhile, there was another man on a Duel Runner underground, testing to see how fast he could get his Duel Runner to go.
“It’s the 143rd Duel King Competition. Will the challenger Hunter Pace be able to beat the undefeated ultimate deck?” the MC announced to everyone watching. “How will the king face the enemy’s challenge? Watch the battle of destiny! The time has come to place a spell on the field! The challenger is next to the king. Set on the field spell Speed World!”
At this, both duelist’s Duel Runners were set to duel in Speed World with the press of a button. “Duel mode on. Autopilot standby.” Following this, the world around everyone turned purple.
“The field is now under the control of Speed World! Now spells other than Speed Spells cannot be activated!” The MC explained to newcomers to the world of dueling. “Speed spells are the most unique feature of Turbo Duels. They are spells that can only be activated when Speed World covers the field. The activation requirements are different than normal spells. They are determined by the number of speed counters. In other words, the duelist’s speed itself becomes spells! The starter signal has appeared, and it’s showing red. Now! Turbo Duel acceleration! The challenger goes first.”
“Here I go!” Hunter Pace yelled as he drew his first card.
The man that was testing how fast he could get his Duel Runner to go was still driving.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“So wait? This Jack Atlas stole your friend’s Stardust Dragon card and Duel Runner and took off for Neo Domino City when he did?” The trio nodded their heads in agreement. “That jerk! I cannot believe he could do such a thing! Also, when was there a second Stardust Dragon?”
“A second Stardust Dragon? There has only been one that we know of,” The bandanna-wearing man answered.
“Rainbow Dash… Be careful or you’ll reveal that we’re from another world,” Spike whispered to Rainbow.
Rainbow was about to respond only for the broadcast to interrupt her.
“The challenger Hunter Pace is assaulting the king with a clever trap!” The MC announced as Hunter Pace had his ace monster Skull Flame on his field. “However, the king isn’t backing down! What’s this?” The MC said as a bright light surrounded Jack Atlas.
“I’ll show you my great power!” Jack said as Jack’s ace monster, Red Dragon Archfiend was summoned to Jack’s field.
“It’s appeared! The king’s main monster, Red Dragon Archfiend!”
After seeing this, Rainbow Dash was in shock. She didn’t expect for there to be a second Stardust Dragon, but she didn’t expect for him to also own her dragon card, Red Dragon Archfiend. “H-he’s u-using my card,” Rainbow Dash whispered.
“Um, run that by me again?” The man with braided hair asked.
“He’s using my card! I can prove it too!” Rainbow Dash yelled as she got out her Red Dragon Archfiend, much to the shock of the group.
“This is my thanks for giving me a fun time,” Jack taunted. “I’ll give you the honor of falling prey to our fangs. Take this! Scorching Crimson Hellflare!”
Meanwhile, right as Hunter Pace was to take the attack and lose, the mysterious man’s Duel Runner also shut down, the Runner obviously being incomplete. The man took off his helmet and looked up at the sky.
Back at the arena, Hunter Pace had gotten off of his Duel Runner in anger. 
“The king has successfully protected his throne again!” The MC announced as cheerleaders cheered on Jack. “A new page has been added to his undefeated legend! Jack! Jack! Jack!” 
“There’s only one king and it’s me!” Jack boasted as he held up a finger in the air.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“He won again!” Leo, a 11-year-old young adult cheered on Jack, happy to see that Jack Atlas had won another Turbo Duel.
“That’s nice, Leo,” Luna said, his younger twin sister, not completely invested in the Duel that just occurred.
“Hey, come on! Jack Atlas is one of the best Duelists of our time! And someday, I’ll be right up there with him,” Leo said with excitement in his eyes.
All of a sudden, a vortex formed in the middle of the room and Rarity popped out of it, much to the shock and confusion of the twins. 
“Whoa. What was that?” Leo asked, in awe upon noticing the duel disk on Rarity’s arm. “Are you a duelist?!”
“Um, yes? Who are you?” Rarity asked the young boy. However, before he could answer, Luna answered for him.
“My name is Luna and this is Leo. You’re in our apartment in the Tops District. Now, tell us who you are and where you came from, please,” Luna answered.
“Oh, well my name is Rarity. I come from a different dimension and I came to visit some friends of mine. However, it appears as if they aren’t here. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to get going,” Rarity began to leave the apartment before Leo interrupted her.
“Aw, come on! You just got here! Can we at least have a duel first?” Leo pleaded. “I wanna face off against someone other than Luna for a change.”
“Hold on, Leo! We don’t know if we can trust her. Maybe we should just let her leave,” Luna suggested.
“Luna, this woman needs help. We can help her. We should at least give her a chance. At least let me duel her, first,” Leo countered.
“Well, all right. But you need to have her agree first,” Luna accepted.
“Well, I guess I can duel against him. But be warned. I graduated among the top of my class at Duel Academy,” Rarity warned Leo.
This only got Leo more excited to duel. “What are we waiting for? Let’s go!”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I can’t believe I’m gonna duel a Duel Academy graduate. So, are you planning to duel against Jack Atlas? He is the best duelist I know! And it would be cool for a dimension hopper to duel him!” Leo was very excited.
“Hold on, Leo. Just remember to give her room to breathe,” Luna reminded her brother.
“I’m sorry. I’m just so excited. Can I please have the first turn, Rarity?” Leo asked.
“Sure thing, Leo,” Rarity agreed.
“The first turn is mine! I draw. I summon Morphtronic Magnen in attack mode (800 Attack)! I then place two cards facedown and end my turn,” Leo ended his turn.
“My move, then. I activate the spell card Rose Bell of Revelation! With it, I can add a plant monster with 2400 or more attack points from my deck to my hand. And I’ll add Gigaplant to my hand. Next, I activate my spell card’s effect from my graveyard, removing it from play to summon Gigaplant from my hand (2400 Attack)! Next, I summon Gigantic Cephalotus (1850 Attack)! Next, I equip the spell card Fairy Meteor Crush to Gigaplant! I now have Gigantic Cephalotus attack your Morphtronic Magnen!”
“Hold on! I activate my trap Morphtransition. This negates your attack and switches my monster to defense mode (800 Defense)!” Leo blocked the attack.
“Well then, I have Gigaplant attack your Magnen!”

“Hold on! My monster was in defense mode! How did I take damage?” 
“Fairy Meteor Crush inflicts piercing damage, Leo. If you’re wondering, I looked it up,” Luna explained.
“Oh.” Leo responded.
“I shall end my turn by placing one card facedown. Your turn, Leo,” Rarity ended her turn.
“My turn! I activate the spell card Double Summon! This allows me to summon twice this turn. So, now I’ll summon Morphtronic Boomboxen(1200 Attack) and Radion(1000 Attack)! Thanks to Radion’s ability, both my monsters gain 800 attack points (2000 Attack/1800 Attack)! Next up, I activate the equip spell card Double Tool C&D! It increases the Attack points of my Boomboxen by 1000 during my turn! Now, Boombox, attack Gigaplant!”
“I activate my trap card Wall of Thorns! This trap negates your attack and destroys all your face up monsters in attack mode!”
“Not so fast! I play my trap Morphtronic Forcefield! With it, I can negate an effect that would destroy a Morphtronic and destroy the card. Then, I add one Morphtronic from my Deck to my hand. And I choose Morphtronic Map! Now, Boombox, continue your attack!”

“Now, thanks to Boomboxen’s effect, I can attack a second time. Now, attack Gigantic Cephalotus!”

“Finally, I’ll have Radion attack you directly!”

“I end my turn,” Leo proceeded to get very excited. “Hey, Luna! I’m winning against this new girl! See? I can make it big someday! And this duel will be my starting point!”
“Um, Leo? I know you’re excited, but maybe you should celebrate after the duel is over,” Luna suggested.
“Your sister is right, you know. I still have a move to make. My turn! I summon Twilight Rose Knight to the field (1000 Attack)! And then, I’ll play his special ability to summon Lord Poison from my hand. Finally, I’ll tune my Twilight Rose Knight with my Lord Poison to Synchro Summon Black Rose Dragon (2400 Attack)!” I activate my dragon’s special ability! Now I can destroy all cards on the field. I then play the spell card Monster Reborn in order to Special Summon my dragon from the graveyard. Now, I attack you directly!” Leo’s life points went down to zero. “Good duel, Leo. You should be proud. You almost beat me.”
“Yeah. Yeah. But I still lost. So much for jumpstarting my dueling career,” Leo moped.
“Hey, don’t be too down, Leo,” Luna comforted her brother.
“Yeah. You still came close to winning. Given time and practice, you could end up becoming a great duelist someday soon,” Rarity complimented her opponent. “Trust me, this comes from a girl that isn’t even a pro duelist but knows some pros herself.”
“Wait, you’re not a pro?” Leo was surprised. “Wow. I never would have guessed.”
“Well, anyway, I might as well get going. I have friends to find,” Rarity was about to leave when Leo suddenly grabbed her hand.
“Hold on. If you’re looking for some people and don’t know where to look, maybe you can stay with us for the time being. Consider this a thank you for the amazing duel. Plus, in the meantime, you can give us some pointers,” Leo suggested.
Rarity proceeded to look at Luna, “Hey, if it means anything, I think that you are a good person and am okay with you staying,” Luna said.
“Alright. I’ll stay for the time being,” Rarity accepted the offer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The mysterious man rolled his red Duel Runner back to his friend’s hideout, which turned out to be the same hideout where Rainbow had ended up.
“In the beginning, it appeared as if you were troubled by the challenger’s trap. However, you were actually thinking two or three moves ahead,” The MC said as he questioned the dueling king.
Suddenly, Jack grabbed the microphone from the MC and said, “If the king used his full strength from the beginning, it would have been over in an instant. The king’s duel must be entertaining!” The crowd cheered at this, though the one at the underground was less pleased, with Rainbow Dash trembling in fury at what she had learned about Jack. Spike, meanwhile, looked worried about Rainbow’s anger.
The mysterious man tried to turn on the engine, only for it to fail. “Hey, Yusei.” the bandanna-wearing man said as he turned off the computer.
“Sorry. We couldn’t help but be interested in Jack. And the TV only works in here,,” the bulky man apologized. “By the way, we found ourselves a few new friends while you were out. They apparently go by the names Rainbow Dash and Spike.”
“Jack was amazing. He’s even stronger than before,” The man with braided hair responded as Yusei was running some tests on his Duel Runner.
Eventually, Yusei finally responded. “Nice to meet you Rainbow Dash and Spike. As for Jack’s opponent, he was weak wasn’t he?”
“Yeah, he was completely played by Jack,” The man wearing a bandanna said.
“Yeah, he duels like a champion all right. And trust me, I really hate to say that,” Rainbow Dash butted in.
“He’s bored,” Yusei simply answered as he continued work on his Duel Runner.
“What’s the status of the Duel Runner?” the hefty man asked.
“Be quiet! Can’t you tell by looking?” The bandanna-wearing man shut up his friend.
“That’s right… How is Jack’s former Duel Runner doing?” the hefty man wondered.
The bandanna-wearing man suddenly forced the hefty man’s head down as he said, “Can’t you sense the mood?”
“But everyone is mad at Jack! Yusei should have been king at that stadium!” the hefty man argued. “But that punk Jack stole the Duel Runner that Yusei built”
“Yeah! Jack doesn’t deserve to be on his throne! Man, if I were over there I’d make Jack pay for what he did!” Rainbow Dash cried out.
“Look, not that I’m not mad at Jack for what he did, but maybe we shouldn’t hold on to such intense anger. Also, what is a Duel Runner?” Spike asked, much to the shock of the group.
“You don’t know what a Duel Runner is? What were you guys born under a rock?!” Blitz asked in shock.
“Well, you see, we happen to come from another dimens-,” Rainbow Dash began only to be interrupted by Spike shaking her.
“Well, fine,” Nervin, the guy with braided hair, decided to play along. “A Duel Runner is a special type of motorcycle that you can duel on.”
“Wow! Sounds cool! I’d like to ride one someday!” Rainbow Dash sounded impressed.
“Yeah, you and everyone else trapped here in Satellite,” Tank said sadly.
Suddenly, a boy with red hair and a dress-like outfit ran into the underground hideout. “Hey, Yusei!” The boy called out, getting Yusei’s attention.
“Hi Rally,” Tank said hello to the young boy.
“Great. Everyone’s here. Wait, who are you?” Rally questioned Rainbow Dash.
“I’m Rainbow Dash. Let’s just say I agree with you all that Jack deserves to be put in his place,” Rainbow Dash introduced herself.
“Oh, and I’m Spike,” Spike said, a bit annoyed to be ignored.
“Okay. Well, back to business. Yusei!” Rally ran over to Yusei.
“Wait. Why are you in such a hurry?” Nervin questioned.
Rally got out a chip and asked, “Can you use this for your Duel Runner?”
“What is it?” 
Blitz noticed the chip and grabbed Rally’s hand that held the chip. “Hey. This is brand new! Where did you get it?”
Rally broke free from the hold and held the chip close to himself. “You have it all wrong. I found it among the junk.”
Everyone looked at each other at Rally’s claim, not sure whether or not to believe him.
“You weren’t stealing again were you?”Blitz asked.
“If that’s stolen, then all of us might get arrested,” Tank warned.
“We don’t want to wear this mark,” Nervin said, pointing to a yellow mark on Rally’s cheek.
“Speaking of which, what is the deal with that mark anyway?” Rainbow asked.
“When someone commits a crime like stealing and they get caught, the perpetrator gets a mark tattooed onto their face,” the Tank answered.
“Stop,” Yusei called for the others to stop drilling into Rally. He then held out his hand for the chip, which Rally handed over to him. “I’ll use it.”
As Yusei walked back to his Duel Runner in order to replace the chip, Blitz asked him. “Are you sure about that Yusei?”
Rally, meanwhile, who was excited, said, “It’ll definitely run faster!”
“Yusei, I know how you feel, but forget about Jack,” Nervin tried to reason with Yusei.
“Yusei is going to settle things with Jack!” Rally countered.
“But in order to do that, he’ll have to face many dangers. Is it worth it?”
“But Jack stole Yusei’s main monster!”
“Yeah! I’m with Rally. Jack stole from Yusei so he should try and get back at him! Right, Spike?” Rainbow agreed with Rally.
“Please don’t drag me into this,” Spike pleaded.
“Yusei, are you seriously going to leave here?” Nervin asked.
“I’m not leaving. I’m just going,” Yusei responded as he was working on a computer screen.
“Don’t do it. That place isn’t for us,” Blitz warned. “From the beginning, Jack was different than us.”
Before the conversation could continue, the computer beeped, the chip being added on completed. Yusei turned on the engine to test it and it went on stronger than before.
“So? It’s totally better, right?” Rally asked Yusei. Yusei nodded his head in agreement. “Go for a ride! It’s really fast!” Rally held out Yusei’s helmet for him.
Suddenly, a light shined from the crack above them. “What is that?” Tank was confused.
“It’s Security!” Nervin responded, realizing they were all in trouble.
“Wait, what is Security?” Rainbow Dash was curious and confused.
“Security is the law in Satellite and Neo Domino City. They are a bad bunch to get on the bad side of,” Yusei explained.
“Identification number AWX 86007, Rally Dawson! You’re under suspicion for robbery. Surrender immediately! Come out! As long as you have a marker, you cannot escape!” the Security member in the helicopter yelled out.
“You…,” Blitz muttered in anger as he raised his fist toward Rally.
Rally moved the helmet to defend himself. “Sorry! I took it from the factory. Because I wanted Yusei to beat Jack!”
“That’s no excuse!” Blitz countered.
However, before he could do something, Yusei stopped him. “That’s enough.”
“That’s you being you,” Blitz responded.
“As long as you have a marker, you can’t escape. It sends a signal to Security.” Tank reminded them.
Yusei was quick to create a solution, hacking into the marker signal on his computer.
“What? The signal’s been severed!” The Security member in the helicopter was shocked.
“I’ve severed the marker signal,” Yusei said as he got onto the Duel Runner.
“You jammed it?” the bandanna-wearing man asked.
“Everyone, go over there,” Yusei ordered for his friends to hide as he put on his helmet. “I’ll draw away Security.”
Before he could leave and the others hid, Rainbow was quick to counter. “Hold on! I’m going with you. You may need help to deal with Security.” She quickly got behind Yusei on his Duel Runner. “Any objections?”
Yusei was quick to question Rainbow Dash. “Hold on. You could get hurt.”
“I can manage myself, thank you. Besides, it’s not like I’ll weigh you down that much,” Rainbow Dash was getting annoyed.
Yusei stopped himself for a moment before he decided, “Fine. Just be careful.”
“Thanks. Spike, you go with them. Protect them as best as you can,” Rainbow Dash responded before they zoomed off on the Duel Runner, zooming out of the underground and past the Security members outside.
“What? A Duel Runner? The suspect is fleeing! After him!” A man named Trudge ordered as he and the rest of the Security members present followed Yusei and Rainbow.
“It’s fast. The front and rear wheel outputs, the balance control of the rotations… It’s perfect,” Yusei thought to himself about the Duel Runner’s performance.
“Duel Runner, it’s no use trying to escape! Stop!” Trudge yelled as he and Security proceeded to follow them. Eventually, the chase brought the pair into an old factory that looked like it hadn't been used in some time. Upon getting inside, Yusei finally stopped his Runner and Trudge proceeded to stop and get off of his Runner and approached the duo. “Where did you steal that Duel Runner from?”
“We didn’t steal it! It was built!” Rainbow Dash countered.
“Hey! Don’t fight back or things will be much worse for you two,” another member of Security said as he also got out of the police car.
Trudge proceeded to laugh upon noticing something about the pair. “You guys don’t have markers. So you’re a decoy. I guess garbage helps other garbage.”
At this, Yusei said nothing. Rainbow meanwhile wanted to say something to Security, but realizing that she couldn’t reason with them, decided to stay quiet.
“You will be arrested for aiding in the escape,” Trudge told the duo. “I also want to know where you got that Duel Runner from. Tell me”
Finally, Yusei said something, “Let’s duel.”
Trudge laughed at this proposal, “A piece of garbage from satellite wants to duel me? You don’t even have cards. Stop making me laugh.”
Yusei proceeded to lift up his own dueling deck, saying, “I found cards.” Yusei proceeded to place his deck in the deck slot on his wrist. “If I win, you forget about everything that happened today.”
“There’s no way we can do that!” The other Security officer yelled. All of a sudden, Trudge held out his arm in front of the other Security member.
“You talk big. I accept,” Trudge pridefully accepted the duel.
“Trudge, you can’t do this,” the Security officer countered.
“I’ll take the responsibility. You guys go home.”
“Trudge…”
“Go. Or do you think I’m going to lose?”
At this, the Security member returned to the car and drove away, with the helicopter following right after. “You are an interesting man,” Yusei said.
“What do you mean?” Trudge asked.
“I don’t trust Security. But a duelist… that's a different story. You accepted this duel, so I’ll trust you.”
“You’re so annoying,” Trudge said as he returned to his Duel Runner. Both duelists moved their Duel Runners so that they could drive into and throughout the factory. “I set the field spell Speed World.”
“Duel mode on. Autopilot standby,” The computers on the Duel Runners chirped out.
“Duel!” Both duelists yelled as the area around them turned purple and the Duel Runners zoomed off.
“I’ll go first. And I summon Assault Dog in attack mode!” Trudge said as he summoned out a brown and black dog with guns on his back (1200 Attack). “Then I set a card facedown and end my turn.”
“My turn,” Yusei announced as both duelist’s speed counters went up to one. “I summon Speed Warrior (900 Attack).”
“In attack position. However, it has nowhere near the attack points of my Assault Dog!” Trudge countered. Suddenly, the attack points of Speed Warrior went up (1800 Attack). “The attack points doubled?”
“Speed Warrior’s attack points are doubled only during the battle phase of the turn in which it was summoned,” Yusei revealed.
“Of course! I have that card too and I agree that it has a nifty effect to use!” Rainbow Dash was amazed.
“How annoying when all you are is garbage!” Trudge was annoyed with Yusei and Rainbow.
“Speed Warrior! Sonic Edge!” Yusei called out as Speed Warrior dodged Assault Dog’s blasts and destroyed him with a spinning kick.

“Not bad. But I have a monster effect also. Assault Dog, go!” Suddenly, another Assault Dog was summoned onto Trudge’s field. “When Assault Dog is sent to the graveyard due to battle, I can special summon another Assault Dog from my deck!”
“I set one card facedown and end my turn,” Yusei said as Speed Warrior’s attack points returned to 900. 
“My turn! I release Assault Dog! I advance summon my level 5 monster Handcuffs Dragon 
(1800 Attack)! Handcuffs Dragon! Handcuff Shoot!” Trudge yelled out.
“I activate my trap Scrap Iron Scarecrow! This negates your monster’s attack,” Yusei explained.
“That’s not a bad move. However...The trap card Wiretap!” Trudge played as he skidded in front of Yusei. “This card negates the activation of your trap card and returns it to your deck. Do it, Handcuffs Dragon!” Handcuffs Dragon crushed Speed Warrior in its grip.
“Hey! That cannot be fair!” Rainbow complained at this move.

Both duelists speeded past each other on their Duel Runners. “If it’s a deck you made from cards that you found, then no matter how you built it, it’s still garbage!” Trudge insulted.
Yusei turned back around and he and Rainbow followed after Trudge. “My turn! I summon Sonic Chick in defense mode!” A pink chick was summoned onto Yusei’s field (300 Defense). “I then place two cards facedown and end my turn.”
Trudge proceeded to laugh as he said, “Your entire battle strategy is just to defend. You’re just all talk! My turn!” He drew a card and then sent three monsters from his hand to the graveyard. “Here I go! Level 4, Level 3, and Level 3. By sending these three cards in my hand to the graveyard, I special summon Montage Dragon!” A three headed dragon wearing masks was summoned to Trudge’s field (3000 Attack). “Due to this card’s monster effect, its attack points are equal to the sum of the levels of the monsters I sent to the graveyard multiplied by 300!”
Both Rainbow Dash and Yusei were shocked to see a monster be summoned that had 3000 attack points “3000…” Yusei muttered in concern and awe.
“Handcuffs Dragon attacks Sonic Chick!” Handcuffs Dragon proceeded to squeeze Sonic Chick until she was destroyed. “Now for the main event! Montage Dragon, attack the player directly!” Montage Dragon sent out an array of beam blasts that reduced Yusei’s Life Points significantly.

As a result of the attack, Yusei’s speed counters went down from four to one. Much to Rainbow’s shock, their speed decreased with the loss in speed counters. “Hey, why are we slowing down?!” Rainbow Dash was confused.
“My speed...It’s due to the effect of the direct attack,” Yusei explained.
“You only have 100 Life Points remaining, you garbage!” Trudge mocked.
“Hey! Yusei can still win this, you know!” Rainbow countered.
“As if! He’s destined to lose and you both are destined to go to the Facility!” Trudge gloated.
“How about we make things interesting then? If Yusei wins the duel, on top of the previous arrangement we get to have your runner! If you win you get to have your very own copy of Red Dragon Archfiend!” Rainbow Dash suggested.
“Very well… Make your final move, Satellite!” Trudge said.
“My cards… I believe in you. I draw!” Yusei said. Upon seeing his card, he smiled. “T arrived. I summon the tuner monster Junk Synchron (1300 Attack),” Yusei summoned.
“A tuner monster? It can’t be!” Trudge was in shock.
“It is. I activate the trap card Graceful Revival! With this card, I can special summon one level 2-or-below monster in my graveyard. Come, Speed Warrior!” Yusei summoned the warrior monster from his graveyard.
“What?” 
Junk Synchron pulled a chord on his body to rev up his engine. “Junk Synchron tunes Speed Warrior! The stars come together to call forth a new power! Become the path that lights the way! Synchro Summon! Come, Junk Warrior (2300 Attack)!” Yusei cried out as a purple and white warrior was summoned to Yusei’s field.
“No way! This Satellite garbage was able to Synchro Summon? Still, it can’t stand up to Montage Dragon’s attack points!” Trudge was shocked at what Yusei had done.
“I activate the Speed Spell Vision Wind!” Yusei played.
“Speed Spell? I diminished that punk’s speed by attacking him directly. How dare he do that!”
“With this card, I can special summon one level 2-or-below monster in my graveyard. I special summon level 2 Speed Warrior!” Yusei called out. “Then, my Junk Warrior’s ability activates. The attack points of a level 2-or-below monster on my  field are added to Junk Warrior (3200 Attack).
“With a speed spell combo, you instantly increased your attack points! How annoying.”
“Go, Junk Warrior. Attack Handcuffs Dragon! Scrap Fist.” Junk Warrior proceeded to punch Handcuffs Dragon.

“You chose to attack Handcuffs Dragon because you preferred to damage me, but now you’ve lost the battle!” Handcuffs Dragon returned to the field and latched onto Junk Warrior, lowering its attack points to 1400. “See that? When Handcuffs Dragon is destroyed in battle, it becomes an equip card that is equipped to your monster, and your monster loses attack points equal to its attack points. Now it’s over. From the beginning, you aren’t able to disobey authority!”
“This is bad! Maybe you should have attacked Montage Dragon after all,” Rainbow panicked.
“Actually, I’ll be using that effect to help myself,” Yusei answered.
“What?” Trudge was confused.
“I activate the trap card Equip Shot,” Yusei played, with Junk Warrior’s attack points returning to 3200 as Montage Dragon being equipped with Handcuffs Dragon instead, lowering his attack points to 1200. “Equip Shot is a card that re-equips an equip card on to the opponent’s monster. The monsters targeted by this effect now battle. Junk Warrior! Scrap Fist!” Junk Warrior punched through Montage Dragon, destroying the monster and lowering Trudge’s Life Points to 0. After this, Trudge’s Runner stopped, with a message saying “Defeat” present on the screen.
“I can’t believe it. I lost to this garbage…” Trudge seethed.
Yusei stopped his Duel Runner where Trudge was, saying, “No matter what the card is, as long as it exists, it has the power to be useful. You don’t have the right to call yourself a duelist when you dismiss cards by calling them garbage.” 
After this, Yusei and Rainbow Dash left, with the girl sticking her tongue out as they left. Trudge then seethed, “I will crush you! You think you’ve won, but soon you’ll suffer under the foot of Security! You’ll get my runner alright, but don’t expect to keep it for very long!”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yusei eventually stopped his Duel Runner after leaving the factory. He got off his Runner and looked over at Neo Domino City across the ocean. “Just wait, Jack,” Yusei said, as Rainbow was thinking not only about her new friends and Yusei’s vendetta, but also about her friends and if they were alright or not.
