Unlikely Heroine (Volume 2) ― Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

act 7 - incredulous

"What?" Jack was puzzled.

Yusei took out the picture of his friends from Satellite; he tossed it to his blonde rival, who caught it.

"A man from the Public Maintenance Department brought me this photo," the hero testified.

The blonde man was surprised of the new information.

The royal blue-eyed protagonist elaborated, "If I don't enter the Fortune Cup, Rally and my friends will be in danger. The reason I'm entering is so that I can fight against the corrupt Public Maintenance Department."

"Then you really should hold on to Stardust," Jack threw the Stardust Dragon card to Yusei. The latter caught the card and glanced at it.

"That's everything. I came here this time. Next time, you come to me," Jack turned toward his D-Wheel. He got on his vehicle and put on his helmet. He started the engine. 

He called out, "Let me say one thing. The Crimson Dragon you saw that day is only the beginning."

"What?" Yusei's question was left unanswered when Jack drove out of the court and left the group shell-shocked, excluding (Reader).

The tension ended briefly when Yanagi moved toward Yusei. The excited old man beamed, "Show me the dragon!"

The protagonist showed his card to his friends.

"Finally!" Yanagi cheered. He added, "It's called Stardust Dragon? How cool!"

"Bro, this means you're a Signer," that brought Yusei slight discomfort.

Yanagi then started to put two and two together of the incident at Duel Stadium, "Was the person you were dueling that night..."

"It was him," his young friend confirmed, which shook his friends but not (Reader).

Yanagi suspected, "The King? How shocking! Then the King is also a Signer?"

The hero gazed up at the sky, wondering if that statement was true.

At the same time, Jack was driving at a highway with no one around him. While he drove, he contemplated about his rival, "Yusei, you haven't changed. You really are Satellite. But Yusei, how long are you going to stay in that closed world?'

"Now that Stardust is in your hands, all the requirements needed to prove that I'm the true King have been met. I will defeat you and acquire even greater power!" thus, the blond driver accelerated his vehicle, continuing his ride back to his mansion.

Returning to Yusei and his friends, Saiga suggested the two duelists, "You two should find somewhere else to duel. I advise going to the main plaza. A lot of duelists frequent there to duel at the duel fields."

Jin agreed, "Good idea."

Yusei nodded in agreement.

(Reader) asked, "Will you come with us, Saiga?"

The broker answered, "Not yet. There are some things I need to take care of. I'll meet you guys later."

"Okay," she understood. She watched her dealer comrade walk away and enter the apartment building.

(Reader) beckoned, "Now, let's head off!"

The woman started to walk away and left the premises with the three other men following her lead.

While the group headed their way toward the main plaza of the Daimon Area, Jin, Yanagi, and Yusei were conversing among each other. (Reader), who was in front of the men, was walking far away from them.
