The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

"Then... what should we do?"

"This is not a place to stay for long. If you don't want to get into trouble, you should leave first."

He said, "Eh? Wait a minute..." (Erkang's hand.jpg)

Before Carly could finish speaking, Yusei ignored the two of them, turned around and ran towards the back door, leaving the mess to them.

Meanwhile, in a dark and gloomy conference room on the other side, several men dressed in black robes, just like the extra from before, sat around a long table.

One of the men, led by Q, had a spider mark on his right arm that was the same as the mark Yusei had seen, except that it looked like it was missing two spider legs.

At this moment, another person noticed that the mark on his right arm had reverted to a spider leg and said, "Looks like the prey on the other side escaped."

The burly man, N, didn't seem to care: "This is just a greeting. We're destined enemies with them. Sooner or later they'll come knocking on our door, hmph!"

:......................

....................................

The next day, Yusei left their house with great reluctance from the twins.

However, instead of immediately looking for the way back to the satellite district, he went to the Bureau of Public Security to find Godwin.

Godwin did not have anyone stop Youxing, so the latter met him without any trouble.

"Nice to meet you, Fudo Yusei."

Looking at the composed man in front of him, Yusei stepped forward and asked, "Godwin, I have something to ask you."

"What are you asking?"

"Godwin, what exactly is a Dragon Signer? You kidnapped my friend to force me to participate in the Fortune Cup, wasn't it to collect all the Dragon Signers? What is your purpose in gathering us here? And what is a Dark Signer?"

Godwin's expression was enigmatic: "It seems you've encountered the Dark Ones. It's time to tell you the truth."

"the truth?"

Godwin smiled but didn't answer immediately. "Come with me somewhere and we'll talk alone, then you'll find out."

Not long after, the two arrived at a broken bridge. From there, across the sea, they could see another city, which was the satellite district.

Godwin gazed at the opposite shore, his expression somewhat wistful, and said, "Do you know, Fudo Yusei? This bridge was supposed to connect the city and the satellite district, but in order to prevent the disasters of the satellite district from approaching the city, even with my authority, I cannot reconnect this bridge."

"You talk about disaster? What does that have to do with the truth you're talking about?"

Faced with Yusei's question, Godwin nodded slightly, "You've already encountered it, haven't you? The Dark Signers, the destined enemies of the Dragon Signers."

According to Godwin, the Dark Signers are people with the souls of the dead who have been resurrected across 5000 years. When the gates of the underworld were opened, the Dragon Signers and the Dark Signers began a battle that would stake the world.

Since the birth of this land, the Dragon Signers and the Dark Signers have been fighting each other every 5000 years. Coincidentally, 5000 years ago, the Red Dragon led the five dragons to seal all the evil gods who controlled the Dark Signers in the Nazca Land and closed the gates of the underworld. After that, the Red Dragon was divided into five parts and sealed in the human world.

The seal of the Red Dragon is the dragon mark on Yusei and his companions' hands, while the marks on the arms of those who bear the dark marks are the Nazca Lines.

Yusei glanced at his right arm and asked, "Since the evil god has been sealed, why has the battle between the Dragon Seals and the Dark Seals started again?"

"You know MOMENT, which is located underground at the Kaiba Corporation, right? It's a dream perpetual motion machine that continuously generates positive energy. But before it was created, MOMENT's first unit already existed deep within the satellite area."

"Seventeen years ago, the technology was not advanced enough, and MOMENT, which should have been rotating in the forward direction, began to rotate in the reverse direction. At the same time, an amazing energy release occurred in the Nazca Lines, and the amount of energy released was almost the same as that released by MOMENT."

“The seal of the Dark Signers has weakened, and the old MOMENT has become the gate to the underworld. I am certain that the battle of 5000 years ago will once again descend upon this land. In order to close the gate to the underworld, the Dark Signers, who are the gatekeepers, must be defeated. That is why I am summoning the Dragon Signers.”

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Homecoming and Companions, The Reunion Duel

Above the satellite area, the door of an airplane opened, and then a red D-wheel fell from the sky and crashed to the ground. The D-wheel driver maneuvered the vehicle and landed steadily on the ruins.

This person was none other than Youxing, who had just returned from the city. After learning some things from Godwin, he was sent back to the Satellite District by the latter.

As for the truth Godwin spoke of, Yusei didn't completely believe him; who knew if he was still hiding something...

In any case, Yusei finally returned to his hometown safely.

After driving on the ruins for a while, the D-Wheel suddenly stopped. Yusei looked up at a black D-Wheel on the pile of stones and a figure standing next to the D-Wheel.

The man was wearing a brown sleeveless jacket, and his orange, broom-shaped hair was propped up by a headscarf. He had criminal marks on his forehead and cheeks, which had been tattooed by the police.

Upon seeing the figure supporting the D-wheel, Yusei surprisingly abandoned his usual stoic expression and revealed an unusually cheerful smile: "Crow!"

"Yusei!"

The man known as Raven is named Crow Hogan, and he is Yusei's childhood friend.

"Hahahaha...!" ×2

Yusei: "Long time no see."

Crow: "You're back! I came over as soon as I saw the plane. I didn't expect you to be on it. And you even won a king's title on this trip. You're truly amazing!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yusei looked up at the 'Blackbird' above and said, "Is your D-Wheel finally finished?"

"Yeah, the best and coolest thing ever. With this, I can leave you and Jack far behind." Crow gave Yusei a provocative look. "How about it, Yusei? Want to use your D-Wheel for a lap with me and have a long-awaited, fun duel?"

"Ah, I couldn't ask for more!"

"Then come with me, Yusei!"

The two mounted their respective D-wheels, and with the sound of engines, their vehicles quickly drove onto the same line.

Riding a D-Wheel, the crow exclaimed excitedly, "This is my first time battling you in a riding duel!"

Yusei smiled upon hearing this, "I won't hold back, Crow."

"Exactly what I want!"

Soon, the two of them simultaneously pressed a button on the D-wheel, activating the field magic [High-Speed ​​World].

'Duel Mode, Autopilot Ready!' ×2

In the blink of an eye, their world was enveloped in purple, and they entered a world of high speed.

"Duel!!" ×2

【Yusei Fudo: LP4000】

[Crow Hogan: LP4000]

The moment the duel began, both of their D-wheels sped off.

The crow drew a card first: "I have the first move in this duel, draw a card!"

[Crow Hogan's hand cards: 5→6]

He quickly scanned his hand and, without hesitation, played a card: "First, I'll use this to scout ahead and summon [Blackfeather - Breeze of Briz]!"

As soon as the crow finished speaking, it opened a passage, and a bird-man with fiery red feathers appeared.

"Then, due to the effect of [Blackwing - Black Lance Blaster], if there is a card other than yourself with [Blackwing] in its name on your field, you can Special Summon it from your hand."

The next second, a birdman carrying a black spiral knight's lance appeared.

"Is it coming?" Yusei narrowed his eyes as he watched the crow's starting move.

"Hehe~, here we come, Yusei!" Crow immediately shouted, "I'll use the level 4 Black Lance Blaster to tune into the level 3 Breeze Briz!"

"Black whirlwind, become wings that soar through the sky! Synchro Summon, [Blackwing - Armored Raven]!"

Suddenly, a green light shot past, and a black figure flew out from the light. It was a muscular birdman covered in black armor, with wings that seemed to be forged from black iron, and red patterns extending from the breastplate to the wings.

[Blackfeather - Armored Raven: Attack Power 2500]

"So it really is Armored Raven..." Yusei's expression showed that he had not expected it.

Armored Raven possesses the ability to be destroyed by battle and its own battles do not cause it any battle damage, making it a suitable monster for a crow to take the lead.

"Put one more card in the pit, then end the turn."

[Crow Hogan's hand cards: 6→3]

"Well, it's your turn now, Yusei!"

"Hmm." Yusei nodded, then drew a card. "My turn!"

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 5 → 6]

(Yusei Fudo SPC1, Cro Hogan SPC1)

After glancing at his hand, Yusei quickly came up with an idea and immediately grabbed two cards: "I send [Dandelion Lion] from my hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon [Quick-Play Synchron]."

As the card was slammed onto the duel disk, a robot dressed as a Western cowboy instantly appeared.

[Yusei Fudo's hand cards: 6 → 4]

"At this moment, the monster effect of [Dandelion Lion] activates. If this card is sent to the Graveyard, Special Summon two [Wool Tokens] to your field in Defense Position. These Tokens cannot be Tributed for Tribute Summoning during the turn they are Special Summoned."

The next moment, two dandelion seeds solidified beside Yusei, drifting along with the D-Wheel.

[Cotton & Wool Derivative: Defense 0] ×2

"Summoning three monsters in an instant, performing a Level 7 Synchro Summon?"

Faced with the crow's guess, Yusei shook his head and laughed, "No, I used a level 1 [Wool Token] to tune a level 5 [Quick-Attack Synchron]!"

"Let the gathered power become a spear that pierces the earth, and a path illuminated by light!"

"Synchronization Summon! Crush, [Drill Warrior]!"

In an instant, the light of sync illuminated the road, and a warrior covered in brown armor, equipped with drills on his right hand and shoulder, burst through the light and came to Yusei's side.

[Drill Warrior: Attack Power 2400]

"Huh? Drill Warrior? I see..." The moment Crow saw the monster, he immediately saw through Yusei's plan: "Although Drill Warrior's attack power is not as good as Armored Crow, you want to use its effect to attack."

"That's right... [Drill Warrior]'s monster effect is activated. Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can halve this card's ATK and attack your opponent directly this turn."

[Drill Warrior: Attack Power 2400 → 1200]

"Pierce through, drill fire!"

As soon as the sound faded, the drill warrior immediately raised his right arm, aimed the drill at the crow, and shot it out in the next instant. The image of the drill passed right through the crow's figure.

"Well......!"

[Crow Hogan: LP4000→2800]

Chapter 44 Kiryu's Revenge Duel

At that moment, Guiliu turned the handle, and the D-Wheel accelerated instantly, leaping from above the ruins to the ground. At the same time, a wall of purple flames rose up, instantly separating Yusei and the crow, and quickly spreading to form a giant painting.

Guiliu: "Let's settle our karmic ties right here. This is the battleground for the Dragon Seal and the Dark Seal!"

Crow: "What?"

"What is this...?" Yusei looked up and saw a giant human-shaped painting appear in the sky, corresponding to the land surrounded by purple flames.

Just then, the three of them suddenly heard the roar of a helicopter coming from overhead.

Yusei glanced at the helicopter instinctively. "That's... Jack?"

Jack, seeing this, also looked surprised. "That person... could it be Guiliu!?"

"Hiahiahiahia~!! What day is it today? Jack Atlas, Crow, and Yusei~!"

Gui Liu looked at each of them one by one, then burst into wild laughter, "Interesting! I never expected the four of us to meet again here. Is this also a guide from the Yellow Springs? Hehehehehehehe!!"

"I can never forgive you! These flames are the hellfire of my revenge!!"

"Kiryu, about what happened back then..." Yusei was about to explain something, but this only angered Kiryu more.

"How could I forget? You betrayed me and tried to kill me!"

Yusei, Jack, and Crow: "!!!!"

Yusei and the others naturally understood what Kiryu meant. In fact, this was also a dark chapter in the youthful, immature history of Yusei, Jack, Crow, and Kiryu. After all, everyone has a rebellious youth.

The four of them formed Team Satisfaction, and the appearance of Kiryu, the captain of Team Satisfaction, gave hope and light to Yusei and his two friends in the Satellite District. From then on, they worked hard towards their dream of 'dominating the Satellite District' through duels.

At this time, Kiryu valued his friends highly, and was willing to fall off a high-rise building to save Yusei. However, after Satisfaction Team dominated the satellite district, Kiryu, whose desires were amplified, gradually became obsessed and continued to seek new enemies.

They would relentlessly defeat any duelist who appeared, even those who had no will to fight. Because of this, the four-person team disagreed, leading to the disintegration of the Satisfaction Team.

Even though he was left alone, he still took the risk of challenging the authority of the police and bombed the security maintenance bureau building, which was a terrorist attack!

Later, when the police came to arrest Kiryu, the three of them fled with him. Kiryu, who caught up with them, injured one of the police officers. When Yusei arrived, Kiryu was covered in blood. After the four of them reunited, Yusei tried to confess to being the leader of the Sacrifice Squad to help Kiryu get away with it, but the police still arrested Kiryu for resisting them.

Before getting into the police car, Kiryu saw the police chief pat Yusei on the shoulder and say, "You'll never see him again." He assumed Yusei had betrayed him by informing on him. Yusei still can't forget the extremely angry expression on Kiryu's face when he was taken away on the spot.

"Kiryu...do you still believe that I betrayed you back then?"

Hearing Yusei's question, Kiryu curled his lip and retorted, "Isn't that right?"
