《Yugioh 5Ds: Lost Memories》More and more Answers Coming. Off to a Feild Trip!
Advertisement
Anyways back about this chapter!! It was a bear to write cause I have to rewatch the episodes, not that I mind I love this series, but have to figure out a way to incorporate Cathy in and all the new stuff rewriting it!! So I hope you kittens like it, remember to vote , comment , ect!! I don't own Yugioh 5Ds, just the OC and Lost Memories!
Last time on Yugioh 5Ds Lost Memories! After Yusei and I dueled those Shadow drones , Yusei wanted to get more answers. Especially from the one person we know has most of the answers! But in doing so we had to say see ya later to the twins, Blossom, Tanner, and Yanagi. I didn't wanna leave those pure beans! But I also wanted to help my good friend out, so we had to. We even got an escort in the form of that officer dude who really hates us!! Smart choice. Let's just hope that these answers are worth it.
"I'm bored!!" I yelled complaining as I sat on a couch in a small room under a television. I wasn't paying really any attention to it cause it was apparently about a movie about Jack and how he is the king of turbo duels, but yeah they really should've not aired it since Yusei won the tournament.
Speaking of my spiky haired penguin friend, I looked to see him still kind of pacing back and forth around the room. I chuckled and rested my feet on the table in front of me, "if I knew we were gonna be put on the waiting list I would've brought some fun games for us to do." I joked around.
He looked back at the door we came in from and looked at it like he was definitely anticipating it to open up. "Hopefully we won't have to wait longer."
"Gosh I hope not!"
Looking back at Yusei, I was thinking, maybe I should ask him more questions... Yet what else could I ask him that would not cause any bad memories for him? Or maybe him telling me more would be like therapy for him? He isn't exactly the most open about his feelings. I think that's a guy thing...
"Um Yusei..." He looked at me and immediately looking at his blue eyes made me freeze up. Shoot! Why am I getting nervous?! Maybe cause this might be the touchiest question... But I'm also curious. "How did you, and I guess everyone else, take to my... Well absence?"
I remember that when I looked into Jack's eyes, that small kid Rally said that I was a cause to his and Yusei's falling out. What did my disappearance do to them?
Hearing Yusei sigh broke me out of my thoughts then he spoke, "it was something I knew we had to move on and keep going afterwards, but it was difficult. We had just lost our friend Kalin and then we lost you."
Kalin? Okay that's a new name. I think... He must be that friend of ours in the team. "Were you... Scared?" I asked tilting my head and all he did was nod a little. "Of what?"
"If you were okay or not."
Okay now my face is heating up!! Great! Come on Cathy focus!! He kept speaking and I just stayed silent and listened, "I mentioned before that you took the hardest to the incident of what happened to our friend, Kalin. You were having nightmares, I remember. You didn't want to tell us what they were about, but you were getting worse."

Guess I kept secrets from him... I didn't want to look at him anymore and looked down cause even if I don't remember what nightmares I was having, I feeling guilty. I could still feel him looking at me... "I know me disappearing kinda split you and Jack... How?"
"Everyone looked for you for weeks. Slowly the others began thinking you ran away for good, but Jack and I kept searching though. He was getting irritated more and we argued on if you were okay or not."
Something in me hurt. Like something inside my body felt guilty and regretful, yet not... However I knew I was crying. I quickly wiped my eyes and looked at Yusei forcing a smile, "I'm sorry Yusei, but I'm okay! I don't remember what happened in that time I was gone to now, but it's all in the past. You can move on!"
He smiled back at me and nodded a little, "I know Cathy. Thank you."
But I just shook my head and looked at my necklace, "no, thank you Yusei. I feel bad... I don't remember these times you tell me or what our friendship was like before. I can only imagine how much you're hurting... You were hurt after the incident with Kalin, then I caused you pain, then that Jack argument which ruined your friendship. Yet you still are making more friends and still want to hang around me. So thank you for not ever giving up. Don't ever give up."
"You're welcome. I won't."
Just as I opened my mouth to speak again, the door suddenly opened and out walked in Monsuir Bushy Brows!! "Are you two enjoying the film?" He asked us with what I could assume was definitely sarcasm. This guy does not particularly like us. His anger and disgust was more towards Yusei than me but I can tell I also ain't his favorite person.
"To be honest I was falling asleep of boredom, think we can change the channel so I don't die of it either?" I asked leaning my head back on the couch.
I heard the man scoff and well I didn't have to look at him to know he was glaring holes definitely into my head. "Well if your bored then I could take you on in a duel! Or maybe a duel between Yusei and I would be more interesting. What do you say Yusei, or are you too scared to already lose your title?" Ugh now I can here the smug in his voice...
"Oh please, you think you could take on a Fortune Cup finalist or even our champion? Now that would just be an embarrassment." Wait a minute... I know that voice.
I looked back to the door and saw, "Clown Dude! How ya been?! Still lurking alleys to blackmail people?"
Oh how the veins on his forehead bulged and the irritation in his eyes when he looked at me made me laugh! Now this is entertaining!!
But he just cleared his throat and looked at Yusei and I before speaking again, "apologies to you both, Director Goodwin will see you now."
Welp guess it's time! Getting up from the couch then grabbing my backpack I brought with, I walked to Yusei then stood next to him and watched as Clown boy basically pushed Officer brows kinda around. "Mr Goodwin would like to thank you, but go make yourself more useful and fetch Jack at the hospital!"
He saluted at the small man while I just followed Yusei who walked out of the room following the shorter guy. Trudge guy then literally had the nerves to glare at us as we walked by, so I did the most dignified thing I could do. I stuck my tongue out like a little kid!!

Yeah that irritated him a lot more but doth not care!!
We followed Court Jester man to a long black limousine as a body guard opened the door. Both guys got in and then I copied getting in and sitting next to Yusei while Jester sat in front of us. And if I'm gonna be completely honest here, I forgot what his name was...
The limo began driving finally and we all sat in silence. I just looked around the limousine interior hoping that maybe this thing had a snack bar! But when there wasn't any I could see, I just groaned out, "where are we even going?"
"Director Goodwin has requested that you both meet with him somewhere." Yeah... That doesn't sound shady at all.
I just rose my eyebrow, "and we couldn't meet in like an office?"
"He specifically asked that we bring you both to this location." Yeah and that isn't sketchy at all...
Looking around more inside the limo I saw one of those phones attached and with one quick glance at my ribbon I stared at the court jester who was definitely watching us, "mind if I phone a friend real quick?"
He was suspicious and confused but I tried to give my best don't worry bout it smile. "Yes you may but make it quick, for we will be arriving shortly." Yes!
Quickly grabbing the phone, I went into my backpack and then I finally found a piece paper I was looking for. I held the phone between my ear and shoulder beginning to dial the number on the paper. Once it began ringing I had to wait a few moments till finally someone picked up, "Hello? Who is this?" A woman's voice asked, and I seriously hope Liquid didn't give me a wrong number.
"Um hi... Is Liquid or Okita there?" I asked and there was an uncomfortable pause till suddenly.
"Cat? Is that you?"
Wait how does this lady know my name?! I wasn't that well known in the Movement, was I? "Uhh... Depends who's asking..."
"Cat it's me! Syria!" The name sounded familiar... She sighed on the other line and grumbled out, "the girl in the room when you woke up from your coma."
Oh now I remember her!!! "Syria!! Hey! Sorry bout that!"
I heard her chuckle, "no no it's alright. Anyways Liquid told me he gave you this number, I'll get him immediately. Oh and don't worry, I won't tell Mister Sayer."
"Thank you." I had to wait a few minutes and when I looked at the Clown Prince and Yusei, I noticed they were watching me. Yusei looked away but Joker over there kept looking and I huffed, "you mind? This is an important business call, thank you."
He was about to say something till I heard the phone on the other line being moved, I think, and I raised my hand to shush him. The phone stopped moving and that's when I heard panting then a familiar voice, "Cat- I mean Cathy?! Is that you?!"
"Well who are the other girls you give this number to~." I teased chuckling and heard him laughing.
"Yup that's you. Hey how you been?!"
"I saw you like a day ago, but good."
Hearing him sigh I know he was relieved, "good. I'm just worried cause, well, Okita and I saw that enormous spirit looking dragon during Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas' duel.
"Yeah... That was, something..." I paused knowing full well I shouldn't talk about the Crimson Dragon so openly, especially with Goodwin's lackey here. "Listen Liquid, I can't talk long. How are you, Okita, and... You know."
There was another long pause on his end that I had to ask his name to know he's still there. "Mister Sayer.... Wasn't happy we didn't bring you back... Our training became more..." He was hesitating! I could hear it!
"Liquid. What is he doing to you?" I questioned and I could hear the panic in my voice. He didn't answer right away and I looked at the phone feeling my grip get tighter, "Liquid, are you all safe?!"
"Yes Cathy we'll be okay. I told you I'm your man on the inside. You don't have to worry about us." He was purposely avoiding my question I know it. "Okita and I have noticed Mr Sayer has gotten more frantic. We haven't seen Akiza in a while, so we don't know how she's doing. But we convinced Syria to help us, and since she's more close to Sayer, she's told us that Akiza's psychic powers appear to be weakening."
Staring at my wrist ribbon, I clutched my hand. He better not be doing anything to her... "Is she safe?"
"We don't know. Syria says that she's been in resting mostly, but has asked where you are..." I could only nod and grumble in frustration. I should've stayed with them. Akiza needs a friend, not somebody who just left all of a sudden. Man, guess that's a trend I do.
"Thank you Liquid." I could feel the limousine slowing down and figured we were here. "I have to go, I'll call you soon hopefully. Okay?"
"Of course Cathy! I'll tell Okita you said aloha, though of course meaning hello! Not goodbye."
I laughed at the attempt to change the mood. "Thanks dude. Please do."
Before I hung up his voice interrupted again, "oh and Cathy... Please be careful."
"Haha trust me trouble is like my middle name! But you too Liquid. Bye." Then that was when I hung up the phone.
Placing the phone back on the receiver, I felt a hand on my shoulder. Looking at it, even though I already knew it was Yusei, he was looking at me concerned and staring into my eyes. "Are you okay?"
I smiled brightly of course nodding. "Yup! Just making sure everything is in tip top shape!"
He only nodded when joker spoke up clearing his throat. "We are here."
Looking out the window then back at him unamused then raising my eyebrow, "where exactly is here?"
Though my logical question went unanswered as we all hopped out of the vehicle. Then I knew where here was, cause here was apparently on top of a bridge!! I could even see the ocean but the bridge was definitely unfinished. Then looking out at the unfinished part, I could see maybe another city on an island.
It was still pretty dark but I knew the sun would be coming up soon. I could also see a familiar grey suit clad man ahead of us. Goodwin. Yusei and I walked together to him as he turned to look at us.
Even though his emotions weren't clear as well, he did look pretty serious. "Yusei and Cathy. I believe it's time I told you some answers and the truth."
Raising my eyebrow and crossing my arms I spoke next, "ya think."
"What is it your going to tell us Goodwin?" Yusei asked next.
He turned back around to face out to the ocean and said, "about where you both come from and where you two will be going next."
"Wait over there? Where is that exactly?" I asked next as Clown dude left us going in the limousine, guess he's not allowed to listen.
"That place, 'over there' Ms Cathy, is Satellite. Where you are from and were raised." I dropped my arms then looking back out I couldn't believe it. That was Satellite...
Staring at it I now felt the need to go there. I know I gave up on trying to get answers of who I was back then, but that place is where I started.
"How do you two like this bridge? It was supposed to be completed and connect New Domino City and Satellite."
"Why wasn't it finished?" Yusei said making me look back at Goodwin also wondering too.
"Who was the lazy bones to not get this thing done?"
When I heard him chuckle I wanted to tell him it wasn't a joke. "Well actually, the reason it wasn't completed was because then the evil inside Satellite would come here to the shores of my beautiful New Domino city."
Okay wait. What? "Pardon? Evil in Satellite? Excuse em moi?"
"If that evil is inside Satellite, what about the people?" Yusei asked concerned and I nodded my head rapidly.
"They will become one with eternal darkness."
It was as if something in my head drummed hearing that word. Darkness. Pure darkness.
Shaking my head immediately to clear it I looked back at the back of his head. "So those innocent people are, what?! Sacrifices to it?!"
"No. Not unless someone saves them."
"Then why aren't you doing anything in your power to at least help them out of there?"
Goodwin shook his head, "because, Yusei, as long as the people remain in Satellite then so does the evil."
Alright! This is just going round in circles! "So they are sacrifices!" Something in my chest felt like it was boiling over and I didn't have to look in a mirror to know my eyes had black and gold in them.
I felt a hand on my shoulder, either to calm me or hold me back from exploding over. "Why would you put the people at such a risk?"
The cause of my frustration turned back to face us, "I believe it is time I told, you the truth."
And now the frustration was rising in me again. Were you not telling the truth?! Ugh trying to build a filter here... Hard to right now.
Yusei cleared his throat to me which I knew was a signal to not say what was on my mind. "Alright fine, then how bout the truth on this?" He asked rolling down his glove and his jacket sleeve up.
Goodwin looked at the mark from where he stood. "That is one of the marks of the Crimson Dragon. The people who have it are destined to protect this world from the evil rising."
No! Really?! I thought they were matching tattoos Yusei got with the others before he even met them!! And can summon a stinking dragon in a duel!!!!
Yusei's hand was back on my shoulder cause I'm sure I made an audible groan of annoyance trying to bite my tongue... I've had a long day!! "Really? Is that all? Then why choose me?" He questioned and I'm not sure if it was sarcasm or no.
"Because the Crimson Dragon knew that you are selfless and wouldn't run away from this challenge."
"Okay all those traits are true about him, but then why did this dragon choose Luna or Akiza? Luna's just a little girl and Akiza isn't thrilled to have this mark." I asked crossing my arms.
"Because they are also the reincarnations of the original signers from long ago. It is their fate." That's kind of what Artemis said in that vision I had... "They are here to protect the world from the darkness that is returning. I must warn you though Yusei, that this darkness is dangerous."
"Tell me about it..." I mumbled looking to the side.
Goodwin continued not hearing what I said, "it can take on many forms. A stranger, an acquaintance, or even, a friend. But you will know who they are by the mark of shadows they bear."
"Wait, are you talking about the Dark Signers?!"
"Oh we know about those rotten tomatoes! Yusei and I dueled already a couple of shadow drones!"
He hummed in thought before speaking again, "so the first battle of this war has started... Yusei, you and the other signers were chosen to protect the light while these Dark Signers were chosen to protect and serve darkness."
What is up with all of this darkness?! Is this just a crazy group of emos?! Even that voice in my head mentioned it a few times as well when we communicated.
"You talk about the signers, dark signers, and being chosen protectors but where did all this even begin?" My good friend questioned next to me and that's when I could feel sunlight hitting my back.
"I suppose then I should start from the beginning. When it all started 5,000 years ago when this war first began." Ha yeah no! I am not getting a history lesson. I know basically the gist of it from Artemis, Sakura and Yanagi.
I looked away and saw Yusei was invested into the tale Goodwin was talking about, but I tuned out, only occasionally listening in when something caught my ear. Basically the story goes long time ago two groups fought. One was good and one was evil and nearly destroyed the world, like ya do. Creepy creatures I'm assuming was on the side of bad and dragons were on the good side. The good was getting their butts whooped so they made the Crimson Dragon. They won. But the bad creatures aren't dead, just locked away yada yada new signers here today to do it again. We good?
"But why now if they were trapped? It's been 5000 years! Aren't they stuck underground?!" Yusei's question broke me out of my thoughts, and that's when I gotta ask something too.
"And quick thing, how do you know so much about this?"
"Because I helped awaken them. And have spent the rest of my life understand what it was we disturbed." Okay what?! He looked back at us facing the ocean to the side. "Do you two know anything about the Ener-D reactor? It was created to absorb positive energy and to create a better future. However in order to do so, we created risks in the past. Years ago, we built a prototype deep underground-"

The Pugilist
Vincent Roy Salazar has never been your common folk. He climbed any mountain he found in front of him. From a bright young student to an accomplished professor, his life can be described as a continuous race to the top of his chosen fields. Patriarch of a loving family, proud father of three already grown siblings, Roy realizes that his life is the perfect picture of what the average man strives for, and for that he is truly grateful. But happiness is a difficult-to-reach goal, and as he lies in a pool of his own blood, his fist cracked, a young lady crying while cradling his head, he remembers what really gave sense to his youth. Pure Unadulterated Violence The Pugilist wants to be a different take on isekai shenanigans. What would happen if instead of a moronic idiot, a depressed high schooler, or a wannabe hero the one to get his do-over is a fully grown man that has already seen what life has to offer in full? Someone who conformed himself to society, but has always craved something different? In a journey of self-discovery, academy building, god-slaying, and absolutely no harem we follow someone driven by logic, experience, and a smokey goal: to fuck shit up, have fun while doing so, and maybe resume his career as a professor for those strange, magic-wielding, unstable youths that seems to never get enough of his presence. Guys, a few notes, first of all, this is my first time writing long-form fiction. I have a background in psychology, and my main income comes from writing dreary financial articles on SEO blogs. But after a bad break-up, and finding myself falling asleep only while thinking of deus ex machina for stories on this site (and for APGTE) I decided to try my hand at this web series thingy. I'm confident in my grammar, but that's it. Everything else will be a first time, and as such any constructive criticism is encouraged and gratefully accepted. Now, on the story. Romance will be introduced once my little heart is mended, if you are scared of LGBT you may be turned off by the fact that I plan to have no taboo of any kind in my universe, but I won't ever write detailed sex scenes for any characters so don't worry too much. The litRPG part is very light and will take place later in the novel, but it's a key component nonetheless, for world-building and storyline reasons. I already have everything big planned out, so I won't drop it outta nowhere, and I hope you won't find too many flaws in how things pan out. I plan to make The Pugilist an interactive story, with secondary characters created by my audience and introduced after tweaks and careful planning. The main reason I'm writing this is that I want to build a community for myself in this time of isolation. I discovered that exercising, playing the piano or video games means jack-shit when you are utterly miserable, so I hope to give some value to my readers in exchange for praise, fame, money, and companionship. I give full props to anyone who has read this whole mess of a synopsis: I hope to not disappoint too much, now let's write some more steaming garbage that will be in dire need of editing later on.
