Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! Gx, or Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds or any characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Franchise. I do own any OCs I make, but most will be likely be minor characters (even more so than the minor characters in the show - save for Nozomi and Hiroshi. My fingers ran away with them, and I like the dynamic they made too much to change it. I find them amusing). I make no money from this fanfiction as it is a tribute to a fandom I really like and want to play around in. If you see this on a paid site, please note that someone has plagiarized me and let me know so I may take steps to prevent fines or whatever. Also, I will be using the Japanese names, so if you’re only familiar with the English, 4kids swapped two names: Blitz is Nerve and Nervin is Blitz.

Also, I apologize for making everyone wait for the next chapter, I had to rework the outline because of the Wild OCs that appeared in the previous two chapters (Nozomi and Hiroshi) as well as new inspiration I just had to work in. (A friend convinced me to watch Yugioh ZeXal in Japanese with English subs. I highly recommend it, Yuma is more like an excitable, adorable puppy in the original version, plus his voice is in no way annoying like the dub. I swear, today’s dubbers have to be being paid to screw up the voices!)

Also, FYI, my New Year’s resolution is to come out with a new chapter of one of my stories every week (since they have a tendency to be rather short chapters anyway) and finish up planning out my rewrites by year’s end. Let’s see if I can keep it!

Now enjoy the shiny new chapter!

“Y-Yo, Yusei,” Nerve said after Yusei revved the engine of Hope, testing if the repairs to the acceleration chip worked. For once the chip did have the ability to be repaired, but… Yusei estimated he’d lose his current window of opportunity in order to make the repairs. One month wasn’t much, however Yusei had the odd feeling that in this case one month was too long. Something bad would happen if he waited any longer. Yusei had had the same foreboding feeling the night Kiryu went insane. As well as the night before Jack left. There were a few other times the sense of foreboding rose up, but nothing had seemed to happen. (Though Yusei still got the sense something did and it wasn’t good for whoever the victim was.)

“Sorry ‘bout that. Jack’s been bugging us after all. And this is the only place the TV will get reception,” Taka apologized, knowing the subject of Jack was still painful for Yusei - and becoming more so with the apprehension of their upcoming clash looming closer. For Yusei knew, there was no way he’d get his brother back without a fight. Out of them all, Jack was the only who would never, ever admit weakness. Even Kiyru admitted when he had needed help from time to time, though only to Yusei. It just made what had happened because of that corrupt Security officer even worse.

“Was he dueling a wimp?” Yusei wondered in response to Blitz claiming Jack had gotten even stronger - something Yusei didn’t doubt, but he knew Jack wasn’t putting his all into his Duels anymore. Again, Yusei didn’t know how he knew something, it was simply a gut instinct - and he knew better than to ignore his instincts, no matter how crazy they seemed to be.

“Jack completely toyed around with him,” Nerve confirmed. Yusei nodded, opening his mouth to respond when Nozomi came into the hideout.

“Sorry I’m late, finding someone selling rosemary took longer than I thought. Who’s going to help me cook dinner tonight?” Nozomi asked as she went over to the kitchen area, effectively breaking up the tension in the air. Something Yusei knew she did on purpose from time to time, usually to prevent someone (usually Taka) from sticking their foot in their mouth. Blitz walked over to her.
“I’ll help, it looks like Yusei’s busy,” he offered, glancing at the mechanic who was running another diagnostic in a vain hope that maybe he could repair the chip in less than two days. No dice. Two weeks maybe, but certainly not two days. Yusei sighed and closed up his laptop, getting up to wash his hands.

“I’ll help too, nothing I can do to repair the chip for the moment,” he admitted, causing the mood to plummet again. Yusei grimaced internally. He hated making others unhappy, but he despised hiding the truth more.

“Yusei!” called a pair of young voices. Yusei immediately turned to face Rally and Hiroshi as they came running into the hideout, beaming. He had a bad feeling… Like a trap was about to be sprung on him and his family. Good thing he was properly paranoid, and thus prepared. The amatuer Turbo Duelist immediately opened up his laptop again and began typing away, beginning activation of a certain program he’d worked out for such a potential situation. A program he’d installed on Crow’s computer back in the man’s hideout to help him have an easy place to shake Security - and ensure that the kids he watched over weren’t endangered from corrupt officers if they tried to track him.

The other three males greeted Rally and Hiroshi, while Nozomi, catching onto Yusei’s mood, began discreetly placing the ingredients she had removed from their bags in a way that would allow her to quickly sweep them back in and run for it once Yusei gave the signal.

“Hey guys! Yusei!” Rally called, rushing over to the mechanic as Hiroshi walked up to his sister, giving her a curious look.

“What’s the big rush?” Blitz wondered, walking over to the sitting area so he could better see what was going on. Nozomi quickly swept the food into a bag, nodding in Yusei’s direction, causing Hiroshi to glance over and note how tense Yusei suddenly was. Eyes widening, he quickly gathered some more essentials up, hoping they all had enough time to make a break for it before the trap was fully sprung. Nozomi was the most perceptive to Yusei’s subtle moods, with Hiroshi being a close second - but they were… unique. And they knew, if Yusei sensed danger, danger was coming. No doubts.

Rally pulled out the acceleration chip he and Hiroshi had found as they were headed home, holding it out to Yusei. “You can use this for your D-Wheel, can’t you?”

“Oi! You didn’t steal this, did you?” Nerve demanded grabbing Rally’s wrist so he could get a better look at the chip.

“No, we didn’t,” Hiroshi answered before Rally could, causing all eyes but Yusei and Nozomi’s to turn to him. He clenched his hands. “It was just lying on the ground on our way home. I thought it was suspicious, but Yusei really needs that chip, so I didn’t say anything. Rally was so excited that we had found exactly what Yusei needed…”

“You’re right, it’s exactly what I need, thank you,” Yusei said, taking the chip from Rally and shocking everyone.

“Yusei! You can’t be serious about using that! It could be-”

Yusei cut off Blitz’s argument with, “A trap. I know. I prepared for this.”

“Prepared for this? What do you mean?” Nozomi asked. While she knew Yusei was a forward thinker and saw far more than most, she couldn’t see how he could have planned for this.

“I’ve built a D-Wheel before. Security knows this, even if there’s no evidence of it, thanks to Jack. I’d have been a fool to think they wouldn’t suspect me of building another - so I prepared a jamming program to use if they ever did something like this to scramble the signal from Rally’s mark so everyone could get to safety as I lead them off,” Yusei explained.

“Lead them off, how?” Nerve asked, almost afraid of the answer. They all knew how self-sacrificing Yusei could be. Yusei merely smirked, switching out the chips, and revving the engine after the installation was complete. The powerful roar of the D-Wheel earned whistles of appreciation as Yusei gave a look that said, “That’s how.”

Just then a spotlight shone through the crack in the roof of the subway tunnel, causing everyone but Yusei to flinch. The fighter simply centered himself as if he was about to enter a defensive stance before quickly shaking his instinctive reaction and activating the jammer program, even as Security began calling Rally out.

“Go! I’ll meet up with you guys later!” Yusei ordered, putting on his helmet as he got on his D-Wheel. The other nodded and grabbed what Hiroshi and Nozomi had packed up - the food and a few other essentials - and booked it as Yusei drove Hope out of the subway and into the open air.

Now let’s see what she can really do, Yusei thought as a patrol car, two D-Wheels, and the helicopter took off after him.
