Yusei looked at his duel runner. He went up to it and tested the engine. "You want to go out later, Yus?" Yusei turned around and was met with Crow Hogan's gaze. Yusei smiled slightly, "Sure, Crow. I wanted to go out for a drive anyway." Crow then asked, "What about that girl you ran into before?" Yusei pondered, "Well, Jack and I ran into her while we were just driving around. I wonder if I'll see her again. She seemed like she was in a rush the last time I saw her." Suddenly the door slammed open. Akiza, Leo and Luna raced into the warehouse with a panicked look. Jack Atlas asked with annoyance in his thick accent, "Why do you look like the world is in trouble again?" Luna rolled her eyes and answered, "Duel monster spirits have been vanishing. It's kind of scary." Jack scoffed, "What do you mean by vanishing? Like disappearing without a trace?" Akiza added, "Apparently according to Luna, they're even disappearing from everyone's duel monster cards." Yusei suddenly screeched in pain, his arm glowing brightly. Jack spoke in shock, "Our marks. They're all glowing." Leo asked, "Does this mean the Crimson Dragon is trying to warn us about something?" Yusei stayed silent and thought about it. "Could this be another new threat that would threaten New Domino City and the Satellite?"

Later that evening, Yusei, Crow and Jack went on their runners, driving on the evening roads of New Domino City. Yusei felt something strange but told himself that it was nothing. Suddenly, their Signer marks began to react to something. Crow called, "Hey guys! I think our marks are trying to lead us somewhere!" Yusei was confused, he thought that after more than 6 months that the drama between light and dark would die down by now. They drove as fast as they could to the source of the reaction. As they drove, there was a sudden explosion that sent them all flying from their duel runners. Jack and Crow yelled, "YUSEI!" They ran towards their friend's duel runner only to find an unconscious Yusei.

Meanwhile, you were going on an evening drive on your duel runner. You wanted to clear your head, since you couldn't get Dark Magician's words out of your mind. How could these spirits just vanish without a trace? There has to be some kind of explanation, you thought. You suddenly smelled smoke from somewhere and went to investigate. You were shocked to find two guys in front of a duel runner that was almost unrecognizable and its owner, unconscious. Upon closer inspection, the first guy was blond with a blue dueling suit, the other with orange hair and multiple yellow marks on his face. You came up, startling them both. You asked worriedly, "What happened?" The blond one spoke first, "We were driving our runners when there was some kind of explosion. It caused Yusei to be knocked out cold." Yusei? The orange one added, "Right. You don't know who we are. The name's Crow and this is Jack. Yusei is the one that's knocked out cold. Who are you?" You answered, "I'm Y/N. My aunt and uncle own a bakery nearby." You added, "Here let me help you." Jack said with annoyance, "Just go back to your bakery." You answered with equal annoyance, "I would never leave a fellow duellist when they're hurt or injured or even unconscious for that matter. Just let me help, we can't go anywhere else. It's too late at night to do so." Crow butted in, "Come on Jack. She's trying to help us. We should accept it." Jack sighed, "Fine but if Yusei gets hurt-" You cut him off with a glare, "He won't. He'll be fine." You went towards your runner and heard Crow say, "Sweet runner!" You answered, "Let's go! We need to get there before your friend's condition gets worse." They both nodded in agreement. You drove as fast as you could with the unconscious guy behind you, his damaged runner attached to the back of yours.

When you got back to the bakery, (Y/AN) exclaimed, "What happened, dear?!?" You answered, "These guys were driving and there was a random explosion. Their friend was knocked unconscious. Is it alright if they stay here?" She saw them and Crow said, "I'm sorry about this." (Y/AN) answered, "It's no trouble. You'll be in good hands. Honey, lead them upstairs." You nodded and showed them the way up.

After that, you brought the damaged duel runner outside and placed it beside your own. You felt bad for the three of them. You went back inside and saw the two guys looking at you. "Here are your pyjamas. You can sleep on the futon or in a sleeping bag.", you told them. Crow said, "I'm fine with a sleeping bag." Jack added, "I'll take a sleeping bag too." You tried to lift the unconscious Yusei and felt another arm around his. Jack gave you a small smile and said, "I'll help you. I'm returning the favour." You smiled and thanked him. You studied Yusei's injuries, he had a bad cut on his abdomen and several smaller cuts on his upper body. You thought that Crow and Jack had fallen asleep, so you went to the bathroom to get the first aid kit.

Crow watched Y/N disappear and sighed. He said to Jack, "I can't get her words out of my head. She seems like the type that will help someone no matter what." Jack answered, "I just hope that Yusei is alright. That was a bad explosion."

You lifted up Yusei's shirt and inspected the wound. It looked pretty bad but it was fine after being disinfected and wrapped in bandages. You did the same with all of his other wounds. You stared at his profile. Spiky black and blonde hair, yellow mark on the right side of his face, you felt terrible about what happened to him. You hoped that he would recover quickly.

Yusei's eyes opened slowly. "Where am I?", he asked himself. He saw Crow and Jack. He called out to them but found no response. He then heard the sound of a wrench and went to investigate.

You were trying to fix Yusei's duel runner. "Who are you? Where am I?", you jumped and fell on your butt. You mumbled with embarrassment. You were met with royal blue eyes and you composed yourself, "Oh good. You're awake." You continued as he looked at you questioningly, "I was going on a drive when I smelled smoke. That's when I saw your friends surround a damaged duel runner and that's when I saw how injured you were." You realized, "Oh. I guess I should introduce myself." You stood and said, "My name is Y/N L/N. I work at my aunt and uncle's bakery." The blue eyed duelist replied, "My name's Yusei Fudo." Yusei continued, "I heard the sound of a wrench and I was wondering where it was coming from." You blushed in embarrassment, "Sorry that was me. I was trying to fix your duel runner." Yusei grabbed another wrench and answered, "Let me help." You interjected, "You're injured though, Yusei. You should rest." Yusei said with confidence, "It's going to take more than these injuries to stop me." You smiled, "Alright but if you're in pain, don't hesitate to tell me." You added, "Your friends really care for you. I'm glad that you're alright. I was scared that you wouldn't make it." Yusei suddenly said, "If you don't mind me asking, what kind of deck do you use?" You answered with excitement, "Oh, I use a Spellcaster deck. I love Spellcasters! They're so cool. I love dragons too!" You realized how childish you sound and felt your cheeks burn. Yusei chuckled, "You must be a good duellist." You hesitated, "I just...I...um, I haven't really dueled much. I don't think that I'm going to enter that dueling tournament." Yusei stopped and put a hand on your shoulder. His eyes were filled with kindness, "Everybody has their strengths and weaknesses, Y/N. I bet you just need some practice and you'll be ready." You asked, "Are you going to enter?" Yusei shook his head, "I think I'm just going to watch this one. If you enter, I'll be sure to cheer for you." "Hey, Yusei?" "Yeah?" "Thanks for putting up with me this late at night." Yusei said, "Let's go back inside. It's pretty late." You nodded. Maybe a new friendship would blossom.
