Hey there my kittens! I give you 9th chapter of Yugioh 5Ds Lost Memories! And it's another long one! And yes that is a picture of Cat! Fina-freaking-ly! I hope you all like it!

~~

Last time on Yugioh 5Ds Lost Memories! After the first round, I had to go back to the Arcadia Movement with Señor Swoop and Akiza. After chatting with him and then Okita and Liquid, I finally got to sleep but I woke up with a nightmare. Needing some fresh air I snuck out, yeah smart move. I know. Well during my late night walk I saw Leo sneaking into Greiger's garage to help Yusei. After, some minor complications, I was forced into it. Then we got caught after some more complications. Greiger and I took Leo home and found Yusei and Luna looking for him. After a late night chat we all went our separate ways. Now it's Greiger and Yusei's match up first! I know Yusei can win!

I was finally close to the competitors lounge, when I heard someone talking. I peered around the corner to see Señor Swoop talking to someone. I couldn't get a good look because Swoop's stupid bangs, but I barely hear what they were saying.

"So are you sure you did as I asked?" I heard Sayer say.

"Don't worry Mr Sayer. I promise everything will go according to your plan." The mystery person said.

"Good. I need everything to go perfectly." Swoops was turning around so I quickly ran into a supply closet and waited for him to walk by. When he passed the supply closet I waited for a little bit then I stepped out. When I peered over the corner to maybe see the mystery man, no one was there.

"Just what are you up to Señor Swoops," I said to no one in particular. I shrugged and walked into the competitors lounge and saw Sakura sipping some tea on the couch wearing the same kimono as yesterday. I plopped right next to her and said, "sup Blossom!"

"Oh Cat! Hey!" She poured some tea into another cup and handed it to me.

"Thanks. Did I miss anything?" I asked while sipping the tea. It was a little different this time. It was a little bitter but still sweet. That's when I noticed her looking at the screen for the match.

"Yeah. And I don't think you're going to like it." I looked at the screen and saw a HUGE flying monster on the field with Greiger riding next to it. Greiger's runner was also huge! There was also a skull on the front which looked similar to the one Leo and I saw last night. So that was it! Then I noticed the life point difference! Yusei had while Greiger had .

"What is that monster?!" I asked looking at the giant flying battle ship!

"It's Greiger's monster called Flying Fortress Sky Fire." It should be called Flying Fortress of Solitude. "And it's ability is that if Yusei plays a monster or sets a card facedown it's destroyed, and not only that but he gets dealt with 800 points of damage."

"That is way too OP!" I said wondering how Yusei was going to get out of this one. It was his turn and he drew a card. All I can tell is that Yusei already has a facedown on his field and no monsters.

"From my hand I summon, Shield Warrior in defense mode!" Yusei said.

"Too bad your monster can shield itself from my assault!" I watched as Sky Fire pointed it's weapons at Yusei and his monster. They fired and Shield Warrior was destroyed, along with 800 points of Yusei's LP.

Yusei: 1100 Greiger: 3400

'And Yusei spins out again!' The MC announced like we didn't know that.

"He's not looking too good." Sakura said next to me.

"I place one card facedown and end!" He said.

"I don't think he's gonna win Cat."

"Yeah but think about it Sakura. What did Yusei just do?" I said looking back at her.

"Well he just got hit with damage and... Placed a facedown! Summoning Sheild Warrior must've been a diversion." I nodded.

"Yup!"

"And I bet 10 bucks that one of those face downs will destroy Sky Fire!" Sakura continued. I smirked and put up my right hand.

"Shall we shake on that bet?" She smirked also and shook my hand. Then we looked back at match. Greiger was now behind Yusei getting ready for a direct attack. When he started his attack Yusei activated his one of his facedown cards.

"I activate Wasteland Tornado! Now I'll destroy one trap card, I'll destroy my Limiter Break." A tornado appeared as Yusei's other facedown revealed it's self then got destroyed.

"Why are you destroying your own card?" Greiger asked the same question that was on my mind too.

"Because with this cards destruction, I can special summon Speed Warrior from my graveyard in defense mood! And with a monster on my field in defense mode I won't take battle damage." Wow that was smart strategy. That when I realized Sakura had lost the bet.

"Oh Sakura~..." I smirked and held my hand out. She sighed and pulled her small pink pouch to her lap. She opened it and pulled out a ten dollar bill and handed it to me. I smiled and put it in my blue and white backpack. "Pleasure doing business with ya."

"Yeah yeah. But now Yusei is wide open." We looked back to see Greiger placing one card down and ending his turn.

"It's my move!" Yusei said as he drew a card. "From my hand, I summon Massive Warrior!"

"With another monster summoned, it gets destroyed and you get dealt with more 800 points of damage!" Sky Fire fired more missiles and attacked Yusei and his monster.

"Oh no!" I gasped watching the duel runner. But luckily he got back to normal. He then activated a spell card from his hand

"I'll now play the speed spell Zero Reverse!"

"Question," I said to Sakura.

"Answer. Zero Reverse allows you to re-summon a monster that was destroyed on the same turn." Sakura answered.

"Oh so that mean Yusei can summon Massive Warrior again."

"Yes but it's attack points are now 0." I looked back at the screen as Massive Warrior returned to the field. But why would Yusei summon him?

"Remember Greiger, we've got something in common. We're both out for our own, and if I'm gonna win this duel, I'm gonna need my friends to get me to the finish line! I summon Turbo Booster!" When the new monster appeared it looked familiar to me. I know I've seen that monster used before! "Now Massive Warrior, attack Greiger's Sky Fire!"

"But that would just destroy him and Yusei's life points." Sakura said in surprise.

"Not with Turbo Booster's ability." I said out of no where. Sakura just looked at me confused. "By releasing that card, he can take down a monster of Greiger's as long as it's facing one of Yusei's."

"But he'll still lose."

"Not with Massive Warrior. You see it can make the battle damage zero." We watched as Turbo Booster released Massive Warrior to the sky, and the heavy monster came crashing down on the Flying Fortress of Solitude. The monster crashed to the ground and went up in smoke.

"Woah! How on Earth did you know about that ability Cat?!"

"Huh?! Oh uh... Actually I don't know! Hehe." I laughed a little while rubbing my neck and sweat dropped. It was true, I don't know how or why I knew about those abilities.

"You must've heard about them before you got amnesia." My smile turned into a small one and nodded.

"Yeah I guess so. But hey! Now Yusei took down that Fortress of Solitude!" I said cheerfully.

"Yeah! I think he might win this actually!" We looked back at the screen when Greiger activated his Chariot Pile trap card. His tire on his duel runner suddenly grew spikes on his tires! Oh boy!

"I won't let you win this Yusei! Once per turn I can activate Chariot Pile and deal you 800 points of damage!" I watched in anticipation as the spikes came closer to Yusei.

"I'll negate the effect by getting rid of Massive Warrior!" Massive Warrior blocked the spikes from coming near Yusei but was destroyed.

"You may have defended my attack for now Yusei."

"It's my move! I'll summon Junk Synchron to my field!" Holy butternut squash! That monster looks even more familiar! "And because I successfully summoned him out, I can also summon a monster from my graveyard! So now I re-summon Speed Warrior! And because he's here, I can give him a little tune up." I watched as Junk Synchron and Speed Warrior do the same thing as when I summoned Artemis. "I tune my Speed Warrior with Junk Synchron. Let's rev it up, Junk Warrior! Send his life points to the junk pile!" Junk Warrior was about to attack Greiger when all of a sudden the spikes on his duel runner began to spin.

"Uh what's happening?" I asked not liking this.

"Not so fast Yusei. I can negate your attack with the other affect of Chariot Pile, as long I pay 800 life points."

"And that's not all, but your monster is also destroyed." Man it seems like Yusei can't keep a monster for at least 3 turns.

"I place one card facedown and end my turn."

"My turn. I'll now summon Black Salvo!" Greiger literally summoned a bomb with a smiley face. An evil smiley face.

"Question." I said looking back at her.

"Answer. Black Salvo is a level 3 tuner monster. With it, you can summon one level 4 dark attribute monster, that's in your graveyard, in defense mode."

"Oh okay."

"With Black Salvo I'll bring back my Trap Reactor Y-Fi!" A new monster came out that I've never seen before.

"When did he have that monster?" I asked Sakura again.

"He used that card to summon Flying Fortress Sky Fire."

"Oh." I said looking back at the match.

"I'll now tune my Black Salvo and my level 4 Trap Reactor!" Woah a Greiger's got a synchro monster too?! "I give you my Dark Strike Fighter! And he's gonna attack your life points directly!" Come on Yusei. You've got to have something.

"Not if I activate my Trap Card Synchro Spirits! By removing from play a synchro monster in my graveyard, I can re-sumon the monsters I used to summon it. So I'll remove form play Junk Warrior to bring back Junk Synchron and Speed Warrior!" Right when they were both brought back to the field, Junk Synchron stepped in front of the missiles and got hit. Yet when the smoke cleared he was still there!

"How did he survive that attack?!" Greiger exclaimed.

"By removing from play Shield Warrior in my graveyard, I can negate the battle damage!"

"Then I think I'll activate Chariot Piles ability where the only way you can negate the damage is by sacrificing your monster!"

"Then that's just what I'm going to do." Speed Warrior went to the twirling spikes and held onto them, destroying him in the process.

"Let's see how you do against this! I activate The Ultimate Flare trap card." Greiger activated another card I've never heard of.

"What does that do?" I asked Sakura.

"Let's just say Yusei's gonna get hit with 800 points of damage again. Then with Greiger's fighter he deals damage 200 times the released monster's level. And since Ultimate Flare Token is level ten then that's 2000 points of damage!"

"2000?!" Oh no! I looked back at the screen hoping Yusei has a counter. It was his turn as he drew a card.

"I now summon Tuning Supporter in attack mode. Next I'll tune him and Junk Synchron to synchro summon, Armory Arm!" I pulled out my pendant and subconsciously grasped onto it.

"You're grasping at straws, Yusei. That monster can't destroy my Dark Striker."

"That maybe true, but when Tuning Supporter is used to synchro summon a monster I can draw another card." I closed my eyes bring the pendant closer to my chest. Just like the time during Yusei's last match, I felt power course through me. I started focusing the power onto him and believed. 'Go Yusei! Win!'

'Thank you Cathy.' I opened my eyes immediately and looked around. Why did I hear him in my head again?! What's going on?! The power I felt is gone but I don't feel as dizzy as last time. I must be getting used to this.

"Did I just smile?" Sakura asked me snapping me out of my thoughts. I quickly put my pendant back in my cloak and looked at her.

"Huh what? I didn't hear you."

"Jeez. I asked you did Yusei just smile?" I looked back at the screen to see Yusei activating the speed spell Synchro Return. It brought back Junk Warrior to the field.

"Next, I activate Armory Arms special ability! I can equip to a monster I control, and that monster gains 1000 ATK points!" I watched as Armory Arm locked itself onto Junk Warrior, and he gained 1000 more ATK points! He then charged at Greiger's Dark Fighter and destroyed him.

"I'll activate Armory Arms second ability. When it's equipped to a monster that destroys another monster in battle, you get inflicted damage equal to its ATK points! You said that one of us was going to have to lose today, and it looks like that someone is you!" Junk Warrior charged at Greiger from behind and attacked. As his life points were going down, Greiger began to lose control on his duel runner.

"Alright he did it! I knew he could!" I cheered while hugging Sakura's side as she smiled.

"Yup," she then looked confused. "Hey if the duel is over, then why are those spike things still on the runner?" I looked back at the screen and saw that the spikes on Greiger's tires were still there. I saw Yusei going to Greiger as he was getting up.

"Yusei, it's not over yet." Wait his mic is still on? "I was hoping to do this differently, but if it needs to be like this then so be it."

"What's going on?" Sakura asked still confused.

"I told you and Cat about the fire and destruction that happened in my village. But I've learned the truth, Goodwin isn't going to help rebuild it like he promised. Why would he when it isn't even there anymore?"

"What?!" I asked shocked. Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

"What do you mean Greiger?" Yusei asked with his mic still on. Suddenly the screen changed to a village in the mountains with star all around it. I recognized those mountains from the vision I saw in Greiger's eyes last night!

"This was my village! Before Goodwin came along." Greiger said over the picture. "I hacked into Goodwin's files before our duel and found out that it wasn't a natural disaster. Goodwin came along and decided to use the valley as a little testing ground to summon the Crimson Dragon!" Again with the Crimson Dragon.

"I've heard about the Crimson Dragon." I looked at Sakura who looked shocked but in her eyes I could feel that she wasn't believing him.

"You know about it?"

"A little. I've read books about the legend. But I believe it's just a story and nothing more." If that's the case, then why is it so important to everyone?

"But he couldn't control the energy, it was too powerful. And then..." Suddenly a bright flash appeared and destroyed the mountains! I gasped at the destruction that was happening! When it cleared, all that was left was a huge crater! The village! "The village is gone! The people who lived there, all gone! Vanished!" That bad feeling was starting to grow deeper and I knew something else was going to happen.

I immediately got off the couch and ran out of the competitors lounge. "Cat? Cat!" I heard Sakura call out to me, but I ran faster. Something else is going to happen. I heard Yusei and Greiger still speaking through the speakers.

"Greiger, are you sure about all of this?" I heard Yusei ask. I was now going through the Duel Runner entrance where Yusei was when he was preparing before the match.

"I saw the files myself. And now Goodwin is going to answer for all his lies!" I was now at the track entrance when I saw Greiger's duel runner zip past me.

"Greiger!" I called out but it was to late.

"Now that the world knows what you did, it's time for you to pay! To my friends... My family... My home... Your ivory tower is coming down Goodwin!!" I watched as Greiger launched himself in the air towards the middle tower.

"Greiger! No!!" I yelled. Then I saw Yusei's duel runner go in the air towards Greiger's runner! I think my whole world stopped when they collided! I screamed. I saw the spikes from the runner breaking off and heading towards the tower, and I watched as both runners crashed to the earth! I ran as fast as I could to them but the track was too long. 'No! No!! Please be okay! Please!' I kept replaying in my head. I don't know why but seeing the crash was starting to make me panic. It was like I was remembering something.

"Yusei why?! I had him!" I heard Greiger say.

"I'm sorry, Greiger. I'm sorry that Goodwin lied and used you. But going after him won't solve anything or get you your answers." I heard Yusei say through his mic. Oh thank goodness he's alive! I stopped when I was close to where they were and began panting. I saw Yusei on the ground next to his runner with Greiger holding him up by his jacket.

"What do I do then?" Greiger asked.

"You trust me to figure things out." Greiger let go of Yusei's jacket and screamed Goodwin's name to the sky. Yusei was getting up as I ran to him.

"Yusei!" I called out. When he turned around I could tell he was surprised to see me, I stopped in front of him and looked up to see his eyes.

"Cat? What are you doing here?" He could tell that I was afraid and worried.

"Are you okay?! That's was dangerous you idiot!" I practically yelled. I then put my head down and avoided his gaze. "I- I was afraid you were hurt. Please don't ever do something like that again."

"It's okay I'm fine. I promise to not do that agian." He said to help me calm down. I nodded and looked up at him and smiled.

After a few minutes Goodwin's face appeared on the screens. "People of New Domino City, it's always a terrible tragedy when a gifted duelist, like Grieger, suffers an emotion and nervous breakdown in such an intense duel. But rest assured he will get all the help he needs." Everyone in the crowds cheered at his words as Sector Security was making Greiger leave. Before even stepping a foot he turned to look at Yusei and Cat. They both met his gaze.

"Yusei, promise me you'll take Goodwin down. Once and for all." He nodded at Greiger's request.

Meanwhile Sayer smirked at the top of the stands. 'I can't believe they're actually buying all of Goodwin's lies. They are so gullible.' He thought. Sayer looked back at Cat and Yusei, who were walking away, and grew serious. 'Let's just hope that the plan goes perfectly before she starts remembering anything.' He smirked and started to walk away. 'Cathy Sullivan.... Soon your powers will be mine to control.'

Tanner was walking to the garage when he suddenly spotted Sakura leaving the competitors lounge. "Yo, Sakura!" He called out. She turned around and smiled. She stopped and waited for him to catch up to her.

"Hi Tanner. Going to see Yusei?" She asked him.

"Yeah. What about you?"

"I'm going to see Cat. I know she's with Yusei since I saw the them on the screen." Tanner laughed at what she was implying while they walked next to each other.
