Kuuga City.

A large coastal city in Japan, seen as a vanguard in the fight against fossel fuels. Being one of the first to become ecologically friendly, it was filled with windmills, be it out in the rural areas far from all the confusion, or even on top of the towering buildings that spread across the city. It's mascot was Kuuga-chan, a red lion with a tophat that had a windmill drawn on it. It was drawn by the previous' mayor's youngest son.

But wind was not the only thing related to Kuuga City.

Crime was also part of it.

Among the calm winds of the city, there was a rigid underbelly of crime families, scattered throughout the entire city, and even growing more powerful than its government. Nobody desired to be connected, let alone associated, to that massive criminal world, but some had the bad luck of being chained to it against their will.

One of said unlucky bastards was a blonde teenager, now on his way to class at Kuuga Academy. He sat down at his table by the window, and began making the homework from the day before. 

His name was Honami Yuujin.

"Top of the morning, Yuujin!"

Across him sat one of his friend. A pink haired student called Nakiri Mitsue. Nakiri held a phone, and scrolled through some blog websites.

"Did you heard about what went down in Alba the other day?! That tag duel was sick!" Nakiri said.

"Alba City? I'm more concerned about what's going on with Kuuga." Yuujin replied.

"Aren't you a wet napkin today? Sangria's boss whooped Logan's ass in this awesome tag duel! He even got Archangel's Mika to be his partner, but Saionji-sama and some guy beat their asses! That Takamine Minoru, such a lucky bastard to get to touch Saionji-sama... Dude, he even summoned his mom to end the duel! That's metal!"

"Oi, Nakiri... What's your deal with those Wings things anyway? Kuuga has enough problems of its own, at least worry about them first and foremost." Yuujin sweatdropped.

"Oh c'mon, Kuuga's the same old, same old. A dueling yakuza here, crime boss lost his construction business to Phoenix Enforcer there, it's the same old boring Kuuga. Besides, those stinky disco lovers are the reason we can't have Wings here, so screw them." Nakiri shrugged. "Why are you doing your homework now? Tough night?"

"Yeah... I ended up using up too much time investigating by the docks."

"Still looking for your old man?"

"Of course I am. Dad... He lead the Anti-Crime Syndicate and fought so well, but that faceless Deadhand...!" Yuujin clenched his fist. "He stripped the city of its last bastion of hope..."

"Deadhand... The duelist for the Doujima family, as rumours says. Nobody ever saw the dude's face, and those who did just end up forgetting it because of his empty hands. Well, not that alot came back anyway. But what's one urban myth supposed to do to make Kuuga be any less boring? C'mon Yuujin, let's just go to Alba after we graduate! You and me, brothers in arms, taking on the big guys with our own hands! And then, I will look up to Saoinji-sama and ask to step on-!"

"This card... This is the last thing that remains from my dad after he fought that Deadhand." The blonde boy spoke, looking at a card in his hand.

"Dude... You're way too attached to that. How are you ever get a girlfriend if all you talk about if your missing dad? Think, Yuujin, think!"

"I'm not worried about that right now. I'm more focused on finding my dad and protecting the students from Kuuga Academy from the yakuza than trying to find someone to date." Yuujin sighed, returning his card to his duel disk.

"Ehhh, nevermind the wet napkin, you're on full wet blanket mode today..."

As the two students talked about their things, a female student entered the classroom. With dark hair and bright green eyes, the girl left the rest of the present students shocked by her looks alone. Even Nakiri and Yuujin stopped their conversation to look at her, and the female students talked about themselves about how pretty she was.

They weren't being mean, they were just simping.

Shinohara Raiden, the quiet beauty with a peculiar first name.

The boy and the Nakiri followed her with their eyes in silence, as she walked past their table and sat in the table next to Yuujin's.

"Good morning, Honami-san, Nakiri-chan." Raiden greeted.

"G-good morning, S-shinohara-san!" Yuujin exclaimed.

"Bro, how subtle." Nakiri snickered. "Yo, Raiden-chan! Looking super duper cute today! Got a boyfriend or something?"

"O-oi, Nakiri!"

"N-nothing like that..." Raiden sweatdropped with a silly chuckle. "You're looking cute too, Nakiri-chan."

"Do you feel the NTR yet, Yuujin?" Nakiri asked with a wink.

"I'm going to end your life one of these days, Nakiri..." Yuujin said with a slightly annoyed growl.

"O-OH CRAP, I ANGERED THE GUY, HE'S GOING TO OMNI NEGATE MY LIFE!"

Screaming for dear life, Nakiri ran out of there. This was a normal occurance, so no one was surprised by Nakiri's antics.

"That Nakiri..." The blonde boy groaned.

"Nakiri-chan is fun." Raiden smiled.

"Yeah, fun... Did you get here safe?"

"My neighbours didn't leave me alone until I got to the train station..." Raiden sweatdropped. "You're too concerned about everyone, Honami-san. You're going to tire yourself out if you keep going like that. You need to relax too." The black haired girl said, taking out a flask of tea from her schoolbag and handing it to Yuujin.

"No, it's fine. It's my duty as the student council president, and besides, we're the bastion of hope for Kuuga City. We'll be the ones to free the city from its yakuza plague!"

"H-hai..." Raiden nodded.

Nakiri rushed back into class.

"HOMEROOM TEACHER'S ON HIS WAY, SQUARE UP FOR SOME HARDCORE STUDYING!"

"On second thought, give me that."

Yuujin grabbed the flask of tea and prepared to hit Nakiri with the sickest thrown of his entire career.

During class, Nakiri tried to get Yuujin to respond to his notes by making funny faces to grab his attention, but he was too focused on reviewing the information he obtained the day before, written on a small notebook he took out from his jacket.

'Dad... I know you're out there. Somewhere, anywhere... And to find you, I'll find him. The duelist of the Doujima family, Deadhand. This city is a purgatory hidden between windmills, where crime reigns through money, violence, and Duel Monsters. You fought to save this city, and I will end what you began...! For the people of Kuuga City, for the students of Kuuga Academy, for Nakiri, and... For Raiden. She knows just how cruel Kuuga truly is... Her dad disappeared too because of the yakuza infesting this city like a plague. I will find you, dad... And I will protect Raiden with all I got!'

At the end of the tiresome school day, the trio made out of Yuujin, Nakiri and Raiden walked out of the school together. Poor Nakiri's eyes were spinning around, Nakiri's brain was still trying to process everything taught in class.

"My head hurts... Hngh, how do you two never get headaches from all the crap they teach us here?! Ah man, why did that Ogdoadic combo loser kicked my ass when I tried to get into Duel Academy?! Tch, damn Bishbaalkin!!!"

"It's really easy to avoid headaches if you sleep through class, Nakiri-chan." Raiden hummed, tilting her head.

"O-oi, don't call me out, I have a reputation to mantain!!" Yuujin called out, blushing. "Besides, e-everyone needs eight hours of sleep, who said you gotta do them during the night?!"

"The scientific professionals, common sense, human history, etc." The black haired girl replied.

"Oh so you can sleep in class but if I take a snooze, I gotta face the second coming of Murakami Masanori and his violently hot tea flask... Bias loser." Nakiri pouted.

"Fine, I'll give you my notes, shut up..." Yuujin sighed.

"What notes?" Raiden asked.

"OI!"

"Pfffft, ahahaha, your ass is getting owned! Way to go, Raiden-chan!" Nakiri laughed, raising a hand.

"I learned from the best." The girl chuckled, high fiving Nakiri.

"Now that you accepted my kind high five, you own me one! Pay me with your notes! Please Shinohara-sama, you're my final hope!"

"You little..." Yuujin deadpanned.

"Alri-"

"Wait, I got a better idea! Let's go study at a family dinner! I'll pay with my big Nakiri money!"

'What is that supposed to mean...?' Yuujin and Raiden thought.

The three walked out of the school perimeter, and one train ride away to the area where they lived, the trio entered a family diner, sat down and ordered some food. While Yuujin and Raiden where hard at work with their studying, Nakiri was munching down on the biggest hamburger they could legally served.

"This was your idea, at least study too." Yuujin deadpanned.

"Can't, don't wanna endanger by precious notebooks with ketchup or honey mayo. Besides, I'm working really hard on winning this duel against Hungry Burger!"

"There's someone hungry but it isn't the burger." Raiden sweatdropped with a small chuckle.

"Nakiri..."

"Eek! Oh shit, I did it now, I pissed him off for real! HE'S GOING TO OMNI NEGATE MY LIFE!"

"NEXT TIME YOU TRICK US INTO PAYING YOUR FOOD, THEN STICK WITH THE ACT AND STUDY AS WELL!"

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIII~!"

Poor Nakiri, chased out of the diner by Yuujin's serious reprimands. Duel Monsters are love, Duel Monsters are life, but please study too, kids.

In the end, Yuujin just returned to their table and sat down.

"That Nakiri..." Yuujin grumbled.

"You know Nakiri-chan didn't had any ill intent with this. Nakiri-chan just wants you to relax. I do too." Raiden smiled.

"Y-yeah..." He nodded with a small blush. "Still, that Nakiri.. Making us walk all the way here!"

"Hai, hai, Nakiri-chan's love has its wacky ways, just let Nakiri-chan have some fun." The girl clapped her hands. "So, how has the search for your father been going?"

"It has... Lead to nearly nothing. That damn Deadhand, helping the spread of the criminal plague around the city...!" Yuujin muttered through grit teeth. "He only appears, defeats whoever his owners command him to, and disappears, just like the damn street dog he is! But I'll find him, even if I have to chase him to the ends of the world! I'll never forgive that damned dog for taking my father!"

"You need to start being more laid back, Honami-san." Raiden chuckled. "But I agree, Deadhand is the worst."

"I don't get it, how do you and Nakiri can act so calm in this purgatory of a city? Kuuga City used to be a place where people could come to to be happy and live a good life, that's the city where I was born! But now it just degraded into a degenerate rathole for petty thieves, crime families and syndicates, a complete hell hole that takes people from their families, with a pretty coat of paint over it to hide it. I hate it!"

"Hm... I think Kuuga still has it's benefits. The croquette bun is the best, and the festivals are so fun, and the fireworks are the prettiest!"

"How can you like this city when it left you as an orphan?!" Yuujin yelled, slamming his fist on the table.

Seeing the saddened look that began appearing on Raiden's face after his harsh words, Yuujin calmed down and sat next to her.

"I'm... I'm sorry about-"

"It's fine." Raiden muttered. "No matter how much I like this city, that's the harsh truth. If dad and mom hadn't fought on that night... And if dad hadn't drowned himself into such a debt... Then they could have seen me graduate from middle school, could have been there when I entered high school, when I got my license, when I got a good score on a text... But I still can't bring myself to hate this city." She sighed.

"Kuuga City's the worse... Maybe Nakiri's right, we should just go to Alba after graduation." Yuujin sighed.

"With the stockholm syndrome we for the city? Sounds plausible. I think we've have better luck running for mayor." Raiden joked.

"Yeah, because that sounds more plausible than jumping ship and going to Alba." The blonde boy chuckled. "But even if Kuuga's its own circle of hell... I'll change it for the better. My father's legacy didn't die with the fall of the Anti-Crime Syndicate, and it won't die until they bury me five feet deep. I'll become the ray of hope this city needs. I'll protect the other Kuuga Academy students, I'll protect Nakiri, and I'll protect you too! I promise you that, Shinohara-san!"

"Of course you will. That's the type of person you are, Honami-san. Only you can change Kuuga." Raiden smiled.

With all the talking and studying, the two lost track of time, and ended up leaving the diner after the sun had already set. It was only around eight in the evening, but it was already dark outside. Since neither had parents or siblings waiting for them at home, they decided to take the long route to Raiden's home, and enjoy the silent evening.

"I think Munenori-sensei mentioned delivering our tests this week." Raiden hummed.

"Oh god, the history tests..." Yuujin muttered, staring at the ground with a despair-filled stare. "I can't tell what was worse, the test or Nakiri asking me the answers about it..."

"This is why you need to only do your investigations in your free time. Study, Honami-san. S-t-u-d-y. You can't go preaching about studying to Nakiri-chan about it if not even you follow your word." The girl pouted.

"Hai..." He weeped.

As the two approached the opening of an alleyway, some random guy was blasted out of it and slammed against the safety railings on the sidewalk, knocking him out in an instant. He had his duel disk strapped to his left forearm.

"W-what the hell is this?!" Yuujin screamed, putting himself in front of Raiden.

"It looks like a duelist who fainted." Raiden pointed out.

The floor is also made of floor.

"That was the easiest money I made in ages!"

A third voice came from the alleyway, one belonging to a massive man in a black trench coat. His muscles? Big. His bald head? Perfectly shaved. His duel disk? It didn't even have the time to get heated up, that's how fast this guy OTK-ed that nameless NPC.

"L-let's get out of here, Shinohara-san!" Yuujin exclaimed, grabbing hold of Raiden's hand. What a bold move.

"Hai." Raiden nodded.

Just as the two crossed the alleyway's entrance, the resident bald guy talked again.

"Yeah, run along, you brats! The godly Deadhand doesn't got the time for some school brats who can't even afford their golden ghost rares!"

That made Yuujin stop in his tracks.

"H-honami-san, ignore him, he's probably just an impostor, let's get out of here." Raiden said.

"Dead... Hand... You're... Deadhand...?" Yuujin asked, slowly turning his head to the man.

"You got money you can bet, little kid? I've been lookin' for a good reason to punch a teenager in the face, this feels like Christmas!" Deadhand laughed.

"Honami-san-"

"YOU BAAAAAAAAAAAASTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!"

Yuujin let go of Raiden's hand and ran into the alleyway. He threw his school bag away and slammed his duel disk onto his forearm. 

"YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DAD OR ELSE!"

"Your daddy? I missed the part where that's my problem." Deadhand cackled, shuffling his deck. "You got money to bet, kid?"

"HONAMI YUJIRO, THE LEADER OF THE ANTI-CRIME SYNDICATE, YOU DUELED HIM AND HE LOST!" Yuujin shouted, tossing his stacked wallet at the wall. He had some savings.

"Oh, that guy? Eh, just another day for the Deadhand."

"Honami-san, please reconsider this, there's no way this man can be the same that defeated your father. Let's just go home." Raiden requested, having followed Yuujin into the alley.

"Hell no! I'm keeping my end of the bargain! I'm bringing change to Kuuga City, starting with taking down this FILTHY DOG! DUEL!"

"I hope your wallet has more money than you have throat. Duel." Deadhand said.

[Honami Yuujin (8000) versus Deadhand (8000)]

"I'll start! I ACTIVATE RED-EYES FUSION!" Yuujin declared. "BY SENDING BLACK MAGICIAN AND RED-EYES BLACK DRAGON FROM MY DECK TO THE GRAVEYARD, I FUSION SUMMON-!"

But as Yuujin reached for his deck, his duel disk zapped his hand away.

"W-WHAT THE HELL?!"

"Hai, hai, Ash Blossom, you can end your turn now." Deadhand smirked.

"Tch... I'm not out of plays yet! I set one card and pass!"

"Man, you're a loser bigger than your dad, I can tell that much."

As Deadhand went around dooing his loopy lops and plays, he starting telling Yuujin a story.

"Lemme tell you how's it been hanging for the great Deadhand lately! Business is boomin'! All the yakuza going around? MONEY! All the weak losers who need protection? MONEY! Hell, I even had that american loser Logan, that stupid child Mika and that hottie with the fat tits Saionji asking me to join their stupid little factions! And you know what that means? MORE MONEY! The yakuza have a keen eye, and already knew I was a money making machine since I was a little boy!"

"I DON'T GIVE THE DAMN ABOUT YOUR LIFE HISTORY! MY FATHER SHOULD HAVE WON, THOSE USELESS CRIME GROUPS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVEN OUT OF KUUGA ALREADY!" Yuujin exclaimed.

"Bullshit! Crime's just part'a who we are. Why fight it? Demand for the god hand Deadhand is always skyrocketing. Like the good ol' days after 11/9!"

That's when people believe the first yakuza family started doing business in Kuuga.

"I'm fucking invincible! Blow his little boy cheeks apart, Cyberse Quantum Dragon!"

"No... No...! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (2200>0)" Yuujin screamed.

It finally started dawning on him.

'If I can't beat this guy... I won't find my father... I won't be able to change Kuuga... I won't be able to protect the other students... Nakiri.. And even... I won't... I-i-i won't... B-be able to protect... Shinohara-san...'

Raiden gently shook Yuujin's shoulder.

'Am I destined to... Never beat Deadhand...?'

The burden of his rapid thoughts won the fight. He fell to the side, having fainted from the massive despair that fell on him.

"Hey, for real?" Raiden asked, crouching next to Yuujin.

"Ha ha, go join your daddy in hell or whatever, I'm taking your money! Another day for the godhand Deadhand, the hunting hound of the Majima!" Deadhand laughed. "Business has never been boomin' quite like this, I tell ya!" He exclaimed, snatching the wallet from the ground. "Oh yeah, look at all this-"

"...at least learn how to play the part."

"What was that?! You asking for some too from the godhand Deadhand?! If you got money, then I'll be glad to prove you wro-"

"I said... Learn how to play the part!" Raiden said.

She got back on her feet and tossed her school bag away after taking out her duel disk.

"Who the hell do you think you are, missy?! I'll beat you and take your money just like I did to your little-!"

"Deadhand doesn't duel for others' money, Deadhand duels to pay the debt her dad had to the Doujima!" Raiden explained, activating her duel disk. "And this particular Deadhand is tired of talking in the third person!" She deadpanned.

"You really think I'll believe some pissy story about-!" 'W-wait, that duel disk, with a shine to the edge of the monster part that looks like an actual blade... You tellin' me this high schooler's it?!'

"Eat your heart out. Duel!"

"I'm the real deal, and I'll throw you pissy wannabes outta window! Duel!"

[Shinohara Raiden (8000) versus Deadhand Impostor (8000)]

"I'll take the first turn." Raiden declared.

"Knock yourself out!" 'Darn, I didn't drew any of my ten hand traps, this blows! I got Achichi though, so I'll just The Arrival her tiny girl ass back to the streets!'

"I summon Tour Guide-chan of the Underworld!"

"With her effect, I summon Fiendish Rhino Soldier from the deck, then link the two away! Link Summon! Cherubini, Ebon Angel of the Burning Abyss!"

'Oh, she playing BA? Oh this is will be easier than I thought then. Yeehaw, lucky me!'

She wishes.

"Rhino's effect, I send Infernity Archfiend from my deck to the graveyard, and then Cherubini's effect will mill Infernity Necromancer."

'W-what the hell are those?! When did a second dead archetype crawl in here?!'

"I set three cards, then activate one of them! ZERO-MAX! With no cards in my hand, I summon Necromancer from the grave in defense position. My battle phase gets skipped this turn. Necromancer's effect! With no cards in my hand, I can summon an Infernity from my grave! First summon, Infernity Archfiend!"

"Archfiend's effect, I add Patriarch to hand, then use his effect to special summon him. Now, I'll link all of my monsters away! Link Summon! Saryuja Skull Dread!"

"Saryuja's effect, I draw four cards and return three to the bottom of the deck! I set one card and activate it! World Legacy Succession! I summon Necromancer to a zone Saryuja points to! Necromancer's effect, I summon an Infernity from the grave!"

"That skill ain't a hard once per turn?! How?!"

"Good question. Second summon, Infernity Archfiend!"

"Then with his effect, I add Infernity Mirage to my hand!"

"Another not hard once per turn?!"

"Link Summon again! Saryuja Skull Dread! Since I didn't use four materials to summon him, he doesn't get his final effect, but minor. Saryuja's second effect, I special summon Mirage from my hand! Mirage's effect, I tribute it to special summon Necromancer and Patriarch in defense position. Necromancer's effect! Third summon, Infernity Archfiend!"

"Archfiend's effect, I add Infernity Launcher to my hand and then activate it. Now, creating the Xyz network!"

"Xyx summon?!"

"I overlay the level fours Patriarch and Archfiend!"

The number 60, shining blue, appeared on Raiden's throat.

"A-a number monster?!" 'Dammit, she might just be the actual Deadhand! Goddammit Timothy, next time stay in Texas!'

"Xyz Summon! Number 60: Dugares the Timeless!"

"Dugares' effect! I detach two of his Xyz units to revive a monster, and in exchange, my next main phase is skipped. Fourth summon, Infernity Archfiend!"

"His effect, I add Archfiend Wildcat to hand. Launcher's effect, I send Wildcat to the graveyard. I'll use Saryuja, Dugares, Necromancer and Archfiend for another Link Summon! Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess!"

"Tch, an Apollousa with four materials...!"

"Launcher's second effect. I send it to the graveyard to summon Necromancer and Wildcat. Wildcat's effect, I banish Mirage to raise his level to four, and then Necromancer's effect! Fifth summon, Infernity Archfiend!"

"This time I add Infernity Barrier, and then set it. Now, I'll tune Wildcat with Archfiend!"

"S-synchro summon too?!"

"Synchro Summon! Borreload Savage Dragon!"

"His effect, he equips Saryuja from the grave, and gets half of his attack, aswell as four borrel counters! I activate my last face down, Monster Reborn! Sixth summon, Infernity Archfiend!"

"Once again, I add Barrier to hand and then set it! Turn end."

"Ngh! (5600>>12000) Go around being Deadhand and just end things so quickly?! Where's the fun in being the legend of this lowly city?!"

"Fun? Oi, you ugly bastard, my life is on the line here!" Raiden barked. "If the Doujima stop seeing a need in my dueling, then I'll be as good as dead... So I'll keep doing what I do best and win! INFERNITY ARCHFIEND, END HIM! (18000)"

"S-screw this! Nobody ain't beating Timothy Denis Johnson White in some ricefield country!"

The fake Deadhand, because only a narrator with zero sanity would go through the effort of saying any of those names, did the secret strat to avoid losing and started hootfooting his way out of there.

Sadly for him, a shadow followed him through the alleyway walls.

"W-what the hell?! WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE HELL WHAT THE-?!"

Infernity Archfiend sprouter out of the shadow like a jack-in-a-box and striked the impostor down once and for all.

Maybe calling him his full name would be better than calling him an impostor. Goddamn internet.

"I win." Raiden sighed and showed a pair of hand signs. "Peace, peace. Now go back to your country and pick an easier cosplay target. Man, that didn't even take the full combo in the end. Honestly, going around saying you're me while wearing a stupid leather trench coat and having a head shinier than the sun... Ah, my reputation's about to hit the dirt like never before!" She cried.

But that wasn't the worst part. Raiden looked back, and Yuujin was still passed out on the ground. She couldn't call for help since it'd raise suspicion, and she couldn't jsut wake Yuujin up and tell him what actually happened.

So instead of waking him up and lying to his face, she carried him home on her back!

Yeah, not a great plan, Shinohara.

After dropping Yuujin at his home, to which she has a spare key off since they're just two corners away from the other, Raiden returned to her home.

She didn't even bother to turn any lights on.

She just tossed her shoes and bag away, ditched her clothes, and jumped into her bed.

Oh yeah, and she hugged her Tour Guide bodypillow.

Raiden let out an heavy and long sigh that made her shoulders slump. She looked like a deflating balloon. That student life will do that to you.

"This was way too much social interaction for one day... Aaaaah, this job sucks! I just want to pay my debt, build Burning Abyss and never leave the house again, how is this so hard?! Tour Guide-chan, heeeeeeelp~!" Raiden cried.

Kuuga City.

A large coastal city in Japan, plagued by the larges amounts of crime families within its borders. In a city where all leave in fear of the yakuza, one girl duels to pay off her deadbeat and literal dead father's debt.

Her name is Shinohara Raiden.

And she just wants to pay off her inherited debt so that she can finally build Burning Abyss for her beloved Tour Guide-chan of the Underworld. And honestly, who wouldn't.
