Chapter Text
Yusei floored the gas pedal on his duel runner. Faster, faster! He urged his runner as landscape and road passed at a dizzying speed. However his wishing was futile. The black duel runner was still on his tail.
This was no duel. This was a game of cat and mouse with Yusei, to his dismay, being the mouse.
“You’ll never escape Yusei!” The mysterious rider snarled. “I’ll rip apart all of New Domino if I have to!”
The raven haired boy swore. The guy had already started tearing apart the city. Even before he had stated his plans for Yusei.
“I’m nothing special!” He growled back, blue eyes flaming.“I don’t know what you want with me but I won’t let you take me or destroy the city that I love!”
On impulse, the mechanic drew out his ace card. The majestic dragon swirled into existence despite the fact the summoner was not dueling.
Forgetting about the evil rider, he took in the realism of his Stardust Dragon. How each scale shimmered and sent off sparkles into the light. How the slender tail swished back and forth and the wings whipped up real wind.
With a majestic roar of rage the dragon turned and without Yusei giving the order, shot a silver beam at the evil rider.
The beam missed as a long black talon shot out and gripped the dragons slender neck.
“Stardust!” Yusei tried to cry out as his own throat constricted with pain.
This was no normal dragon. The fiend has sharp black armour that swirled and writhed into shadow and an orange belly glinting hard and strong.
“Yusei behold The Dark Dragon!” the black dragon roared mightily causing Yusei to shake and almost spin out of control.
There was too much fear, too heavy a burden and it all emanated from that dragon.
“Yusei! I thought you said you were nothing special but then Stardust come uncalled to save you?!” He called to Yusei.
“I-I’m not!” Yusei chocked out as the claws started digging into Stardust’s throat. He wasn’t was he? Yusei was no psychic duelist or even communicated with duel spirits! Out of the signers, only Jack, Crow and Yusei had nothing special about them but they had accepted that fact long ago!
A shattering roar of defeat shattered Yusei’s self doubt as his beautiful dragon succumbed to the black dragon’s grip.
“STARDUST!” Yusei cried as his dragon’s eyes fixated on him. Don’t go!
Without realizing it, Yusei reached out one hand towards his faithful ace. I can’t fight him without you! I can’t fight him alone! Please don’t leave me alone!
And then, the mighty Stardust Dragon shattered taking Yusei with it.
