Let's Do some Enforcing

Chapter five

By Kellyq

The sun was setting when Mina had called Jack, Yusei, Luna, Leo, and Akiza into the computer room when all connections to Satellite were gone. They were now staring at a cloud of black smoke that hovered over the island like a dome from the computer screen.

"It's got to be the Dark Signers," Yusei said, immediately feeling sorry for all the people he envisioned there.

Mina was now looking at her own notes. "I'm not sure what that stuff is. My guess is that the black fog is a barrier that shielded Satellite. No one can get in our out."

"Is there a way to get there from the air?" Yusei asked, glancing at her.

"I think so," Mina answered. "But Jack," she continued, concern laced in her voice, making eye contact with him, "we don't know what awaits you and the others once you're there."

"I'm still going," Jack snapped. And I promised that I was going to help Yusei fight against the Dark Signers! "Now get something rigged up so we can go!"

Mina bowed. "I'll see what Godwin has for us."

By the time Godwin was ready to see the others, the sun had set. They were now waiting for the helicopter to come. Godwin glanced at them for a moment, ready to tell more of what they needed to do, and where they needed to go.

"Your primary goal is to shut down the original Reactor and reverse the negative energy."

"The what now?" Leo asked, confused.

"The one who built the Reactor and caused it to malfunction was none other than Yusei's father," Godwin explained, not hiding the bitterness in his voice.

Everyone eyed Yusei for a moment, wondering if they should start asking more questions, or get answers later. Jack narrowed his eyes. He wasn't going to believe that sort of thing. So far, the man had lied to him. When this is all over, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind! Jack glanced at Yusei to see him staring down at the ground, deep in thought, if not also in shame.

All their thoughts were interrupted when they heard the sound of the helicopter coming. They all looked up to see a fancy one flying into view.

"You guys know the pilot," Godwin spoke up, as the helicopter landed and Trudge hopped out.

"Reporting for duty, sir!" he said, saluting, as usual.

"I hope you packed some peanuts," Yusei said, a hint of irritation and sarcasm in his voice.

Quick anger flared up in the police officer. "Why you ungrateful sl-"

Before he could finish his insult, Mina's sweet voice got his attention. "Thanks for the flowers you sent me," she said, walking up.

Trudge smiled down at her, feeling his heart warm up. "I'm glad you liked them," he said gently, easily forgetting the insult he only hurled.

By this point, they all were already to climb until Yusei spoke up in a crisp voice. "Godwin, when we defeat the darkness, you have to complete the bridge."

The older man looked away for a moment. "I don't think I can make that type of promise, Yusei."

Yusei couldn't stop himself from glaring, and his body tensed up with anger. "And why is that? What's stopping you from completing the bridge anyways?"

Godwin sighed out of frustration, giving in. He finally glanced at Yusei. "Very well, I'll finish the bridge when you fix the Reactor."

Yusei nodded his head willfully and followed the others into the helicopter. They all sat down beside each other. Jack sat next to Yusei with Luna on his right. Akiza, Mina, and Leo sat a cross from them.

Trudge was the last one on. He sat down and started the engine. The helicopter rose in the air. Leo looked out the window to see Yanagi, Tanner, and Dexter standing at the docks, waving goodbye. Don't worry, Yusei thought, the Darkness will be defeated and everything will be better!
