Yugioh 5D's: Dragon Riders

 

ForeverWildfire2.0: I hope you enjoy this chapter... and I believe it is shorter than the others have been so far.

I do not own Yugioh 5D's.

Chapter 3: Course of Time and Meeting of the Mind

Many things happen over the course of time. For Yusei, things tended to happen way too fast lately. One minute, he finds out that Rally is missing. The next, he's jumping into cold water to save him (Rally). Meanwhile Jack rides off with his two most prized possessions (If you haven't watched the series, it's his duel runner and his Stardust Dragon card).

The waves seemed to become more violent just as Yusei reached Rally. Quickly, he focused on getting both of them (Rally and Himself) to safety. As he began to near the docks, he noticed Crow and someone in a (blue) cloak approaching (both from different directions).

Once Yusei got close enough to reach, Crow made a grab for Rally while Yusei lifted him up the best he could (considering he was in the water). Just as Crow pulled Rally up, the cloaked person shouted in alarm as a strong wave hit Yusei against the docks. Yusei cried out in pain (which got him a mouthful of water) as he felt his arm get dislocated, if not broken.

The current managed to pull him under. With much effort, he got back to the surface, just as another wave came. Throwing him against the docks with enough force to hit his head (hard against the docks)/ As the darkness began to engulf him, he heard voices calling to him. But then he saw a red glow just as everything turned black, and oddly enough...he felt... safe.

Crow's P.O.V.

"Yusei!" We (Crow, Rally and the cloaked person) shouted out in panic as we saw Yusei get his head hit on the docks. When he didn't resurface, I began to panic all the more. "Yusei! Yusei, come up! YUSEI!" Just as I was about to call him again, I felt a burning sensation go through my mark as it began to glow.

The cloaked person pointed out toward a red glow in the water. I reached toward it and into the water, and somehow I managed to grab Yusei. With the help of the cloaked person, I managed to pull Yusei onto the docks. "He's not breathing!" Rally said as he pointed out the obvious. As I was about to perform CPR, a pulse from our marks (Yusei's and his mark flashed red really quick), he (Yusei) began to cough up the water from his lungs.

When he remained unconscious, I began to worry. While checking for the reason, I found a bleeding gash where he had hit his head. Worried I might lose him, I held my "brother" protectively. Rally seemed to look quite depressed... or was it guilt I saw in his eyes? (By the way, Rally is untied by now.)

"Crow," I looked at the cloaked person in shock. How did they know my name? When I kept looking at them, they continued. "I need you to take care of Yusei; he is very important to me. Please, don't tell him about me. In time he will find out, and the truth will be revealed. That goes for you too, young Rally."

Before Rally or I could respond, a blue glow emanated from the cloaked person. It surrounded us; making us shut our eyes from the brightness. When it faded, and we opened our eyes, Rally, Yusei and I were in front of Martha's with the cloaked person nowhere in sight. Only one thought crossed my mind... What in the world, just happened?

Meanwhile in New Domino at an apartment in the tops...

"Why did our marks act up, Luna?" A young teal-haired boy asked his twin.

"I'm not sure, Leo. But something must of happened... I felt several different emotions through my mark, but from who, I don't know. Not to mention I can tell that Ancient Fairy Dragon and Power Tool Dragon seem upset about something too. But they won't tell me what it is that's upsetting them in the first place." Luna replied as she looked out over the city.

"Well, hopefully, we find out soon. I don't think I'll be able to get enough...sleep...to...night." As Luna looked back at Leo, she giggled. He had apparently fallen back asleep easily, just on the couch this time. She looked towards the stars, if only they could solve her problems.

Meanwhile with Jack

Something must have happened during the rescue, that much Jack could tell. Still, it wasn't enough to make him stop. When his mark flared up, he was sure that Yusei was in danger. But he was too stubborn to let that stop him at this point. So he pushed the thought of going back into the far recesses of his mind. I'm on my way to become King. No one can keep ME from MY destiny.

Meanwhile with Akiza

Something must have happened to Yusei. Akiza had felt his panic, but there was nothing she could do at this point. She laid down on her bed and let her mind wonder. In her mindscape (basically inside her mind), she saw a glowing blue string. It was thin, but at least it existed. He mind latched onto that string and pulled her into another's (another person's mind that is...).

Akiza's mindscape quickly vanished as another replaced it. Standing on a building overlooking the Satellite, she was shocked by how wrecked the Satellite looked. Not once, had she thought that things were this bad. Very few people in New Domino seemed to care about the island and its inhabitants.

She started walking as she continued to look around. If you were to ask her where she was going, she wouldn't know what to say. There seemed to be some kind of a pull coming from somewhere. Her mind told her to turn back, but her heart told her to keep going.

Her heart nearly stopped as she came upon a figure who appeared to be unconscious and lying on some (surprisingly) green grass. Instantly, she recognized him and ran to see if he was ok. One of the first things she noticed, was some blood in his hair (she noticed it due to part of his hair being normally yellow (lightning bolts/streaks)). As she was feeling around on his head, she finally found where the blood was coming from; quickly, she bandaged it up.

She pulled Yusei into her lap so that she was basically cradling his body with his head on her shoulder. While she hoped he would be ok, the connection between them grew a little stronger. As she was running her fingers through his hair and along his scalp, she didn't notice him began to wake up.

"Mmm...that feels nice." A whisper startled her out of her thoughts and caused her to look down at Yusei.

"Can you please repeat that?" She asked.

"Don't stop, it feels nice." Hazel eyes widened as they met half-lidded blue. 'Were his eyes that blue last time I saw him?' (During the dream.)

"You're awake now? (I guess it would be called...subconscious? Awake in the mind, but not in the body...) How do you feel, Yusei?"

"Sore, very sore; wait... Why are you here?" Eyebrows raised in curiosity as he looked at her.

"I felt you were in danger; I wanted to see if you would be okay. Can you stand?" asked Akiza.

"I believe so...," After she helped him up, Yusei asked, "Would you like to hang out...with me?" Akiza smiled at his nervousness.

"I don't see why I can't." The mindscape changed into a meadow with a stream and some flower patches. They sat down and began to talk. Little did they know, the blue strings that Akiza had seen earlier doubled in size as the connection between their minds grew stronger.

ForeverWildfire2.0: Well, how was it? Hopefully I'm keeping you guys interested. Please tell me if you have any suggestions.
