Death: This is my first crack at a crossover, let alone a Yugioh and a Yugioh 5Ds fanfic. I am more familiar of Yugioh the original, but Yugioh 5Ds is hell of a lot better than GX, and since I gave 5Ds a chance, I think that they're starting to get somewhere with it. Also this after the season against the "New Threat", which started around the 60's of the episodes.

Also, some of the names are from the Japanese version. I watched most of the episodes from 5Ds in Japanese, so please, don't go "Why the the hell did you change some of the names?"

Chapter 1 The Holy Priests

=3=

After the new threat, the Signers felt that everything that would harm the world was over. Although most of the Signers felt that way, Yusei couldn't help that small little thought in the back of his head that he knew nothing was over.

Yusei often found himself wondering why everything seemed to weigh down on them. He couldn't help it when he stopped and had time to think. He couldn't help but wonder about those worrying thoughts that seemed to creep up on him.

Within months after the new threat, did he learn that his worries were for real. It all started on the news, of a group of people kidnapping duelists that had the "potential to use real monsters". Or so Ushio and Mikage told them.

"So what do you know of them?" Crow frowned as he and the whole group examined the photos of four people in dark cloaks surrounding a duelist.

"They're calling themselves Holy Priests." Ushio shook his head at the name.

"Holy Priests? They're more priests of some cult." Jack snorted.

"What's their motive?" Yusei asked as he picked up a photo of the same four in cloaks surrounding a frightened child.

"They gather up anyone that has a different heat signature. Those who have higher or lower heat signatures than normal people, they send out these four," Mikage pointed at the first photo. "To find, and take those people in."

"Then they hone their skills of dueling, and they're able to summon real life monsters." Ushio added.

"How come these Holy Priests haven't been stopped?" Crow furrowed his eyebrows with suspicion and worry.

"We haven't found their head quarters. The reason why we know so much of how they find certain duelists is because they were bold enough to tell us first hand." Mikage frowned.

"They're that confident?" Yusei set the photo he had been examining down.

"Apparently so."

"What's this got to do with us?" the smaller teen crossed his arms, eyes narrowing at the officers.

"We're asking for you guys to be cautious. We know what Aki Izayoi is capable of, and we're worried she'll become a target soon." Ushio stared down at Crow, effectively getting the message through to the teen.

"Ok, ok. I get the picture." Crow uncrossed his arms.

"So you want us to keep an eye on Aki until you catch these guys?" Yusei guessed.

"And Ruka-chan." Mikage added. "We're not sure if she'll be as strong as Aki in that department, but she can still talk to her deck. The Holy Priests may pick up on that information and won't hesitate on taking her too."

"Right. Well thanks for the warning." Jack broke away from circling the table to retrieve his drink on the desk not too far away.

"We'll keep a good eye on them. They're classes should be ending soon." Yusei checked the clock on the wall to see that indeed his friends' classes were ending within ten minutes.

"We'll be off. Be careful, ok?" Mikage waved as they left for the door.

"Oh they'll be fine, Mikage." Ushio grumbled as if it was a well known thing.

"Doesn't hurt to try. If you showed you care a bit more often then people will respect you." Mikage patted his back.

Ushio just raised an eyebrow.

Once they left Yusei picked up his deck from the desk in the corner.

"You're heading off to meet them?" Crow guessed.

"I only want to inform them of these so called priests. We have little information of them, but I know Aki can take care of herself. It's Ruka I'm worried about." Yusei elaborated as he lifted his jacket over his shoulders.

"She may be small, but she has a strong heart and even a stronger connection to her dragon." Jack pointed out.

"True, but she's still a child. We can't take any chances, however unlikely they'll be able to capture her." Yusei countered, leaving them for the Duel Academy.

"Let's go!" Rua jumped up and down excitedly as the bell rang.

"You're always excited to visit Yusei." Ruka rolled her eyes at her brother, unable to hold back a smile of her own.

"Oh c'mon, Ruka! I know you like visiting him too!" Rua accused.

"I'm surprised you're not sad that our friends are unable to come today." His twin frowned.

"Yea, it's too bad they're all busy." Rua slouched forward, nearly pouting.

"Let's keep going." Ruka smiled, trying to cheer her brother up.

Rua brightened up. "Let's!"

Before the twins made it outside into the hallway, the principal blocked their way. He had a worried expression as he politely asked if they could spare him a few moments.

"We're not in trouble, are we?" Ruka frowned.

"No, no, nothing like that. I would just like to ask a few questions concerning Izayoi Aki." The principal ran a hand through his hair.

"Aki-nee-chan? What's wrong?" both twins spoke in sync with worry.

"I was hoping either of you knew. She hasn't shown up in a couple of days, we contacted her parents and she hasn't returned home either." The principal informed.

"What!"

Two Days Before

Aki waved goodbye to her classmates, flashing a genuine smile that seemed to grow happier with each passing day. Now that she can control her powers, and no one feared her anymore, Aki felt like life was good again.

Today was such a good day that Aki felt she should visit the boys. It's been a while since she last saw them, and she was sure that the twins and their friends would be on their way there now.

As she walked two to three blocks, though, Aki began to feel uneasy. The hair on the back of her neck stood up as her shoulders tensed.

'Someone is following me.' Aki glanced over her shoulders.

But no one was there.

Trying to calm her nerves, Aki kept walking. But the uneasy feeling was still there after another block. Something caught her attention from an alleyway. From the corner of her eye she thought she saw a shadow of a figure moving about.

Aki cautiously made her way into the alley, ready to use her powers if needed. After a few moments of walking deeper into an alleyway, Aki found herself standing in a squared area where three other alleyways met, creating an intersection effect.

Still moving cautiously, Aki made her way to the center.

"Whoever you are, show yourself! I'm not afraid to use my dragon on someone who's stalking me." Aki warned, as she heard footsteps approaching from all sides.

Aki twirled around, confused, as all four men (or at least they look like they're men) formed a circle around her. They were all wearing black cloaks with their hoods up, shadowing over their faces.

In her confusion, the four began to chant in an unknown language. This only confused the trapped Signer even more as she twirled around. The chanting heightened in volume, over whelming her senses.

"Stop it!" she cried.

Aki stopped twirling around, hands rose to her head as she tried to drown out the voices. Opening her eyes, Aki raised one arm up, ready to summon her dragon when suddenly a ring of energy manifested, forming another circle around her.

"What…?" Aki froze as the ring of energy shrunk its way towards her.

Before she could retaliate, the ring tightened itself around her like rope. Within moments it drained of her energy as she fell to the ground.

"What do you want from me?" Aki weakly asked as she used the last of her strength to speak.

"You have great potential…Black Rose. Perhaps you'll make an even better specimen than our current one that bites back." One of the men chuckled.

The other three laughed, and Aki knew no more.

Aki woke up to find herself in a small cell with some energy shield that prevented her to escape. The barrier was clear, save for a hint of blue green color that swirled around like soap on water. She didn't know what it was called, but it waved off enough energy that she could feel it. Aki could tell that from its energy, nothing will be able to penetrate it.

She sat up, tilting her head when her gaze met someone in a cell across from hers.

He was leaning against the wall, arms crossed, eyes glaring off into space in deep thought. He was around Yusei's height, Aki guessed. His bronze skin intrigued the Signer. She was curious where he was from.

He wore black leather pants that were a second skin on his thin legs. His black boots were that of a D-Wheel rider, but still went well with his pants. The young man wore a simple sleeveless black shirt tucked in under the pants with two belts. One belt went straight around his thin waist, while the other was slanted over the side.

His arms were bare, showing off skin and somewhat athletic muscles. What struck as odd to Aki were gold armbands from the wrist to just below the elbow. They strangely reminded her of the armbands the Egyptians wore ages past.

'Maybe he's from Egypt?' Aki shrugged off the thought and turned her gaze at his face.

One of the most striking features was his hair. It was spiked in a star-like shape, black with red tips. His blond bangs were shaped of lightning bolts, on one side framed his face while the other seemed to hold itself outwards.

One bang shot straight up into the middle of the black and red mess. Tearing her gaze off his hair, Aki focused on the teen's eyes.

Her heartbeat stopped for a second of this young man's intensity of striking crimson red eyes. The deep color reminded Aki of Yusei's blue eyes, only the colors were opposite.

He seemed to have caught on her staring, his gaze turned to her. Aki quickly turned her head, feeling embarrassed.

"I know you've been admiring me, Black Rose." He smirked.

"H-How do you know me?" Aki glared, ineffectively trying to intimidate him.

Her reaction only served to amuse him even more.

"You can say I'm a walking god, I've been watching you and your friends since the beginning of your journey against the Dark Signers." He simply shrugged.

"What do you mean a walking god? There's no such thing." Aki narrowed her eyes at him, suspicious yet curious at the same time.

He couldn't hold back a small laugh.

"I can control the gods with the flick of my wrist; I can summon monsters from within my soul without using cards or a duel disk." He said with a smug expression.

"Then why can't you escape from this place?" Aki couldn't help but raise her voice a little.

"They took away my power source." He snorted in disgust.

"Then wouldn't you be useless to them?" she flinched at her words, she didn't mean to say them.

He shrugged. "They've been trying to make me hone my skills."

'And the moment I master my powers they will regret capturing me.' He finished in thought.

"If you know about me…then what's my name?" Aki couldn't help but ask.

He smirked. "Izayoi Aki, you're often known as the Black Rose or the Black Witch. You believed your mark was a curse, when later one you were taught that it was a gift. Your connection with the Black Rose Dragon still remains strong, even after you gained full control of your powers."

Aki hunched her shoulders in defeat. "All right, I believe you. But what's your name?"

He frowned.

"If we're going to escape, I would like to know who I'm working with to get out of here." She reasoned.

"…Atemu."

"Atemu?" Aki tilted her head, his name rolling off her tongue.

"That's right."

What a strange name, she thought.

"I get that a lot." He chuckled.

"Did I say that out loud?" Aki frowned.

"I can't read minds." Atemu rolled his eyes.

"Sorry."

Atemu furrowed his eyebrows. "Wait…you said 'if we're going to escape'…what do you mean?"

"It's better to work with someone in order to escape, right?" Aki pointed out.

"True." He tilted his head in thought.

"How did you get here?"

"Hm?" Atemu returned his gaze at her, he wasn't really paying attention.

Aki glared. "I said how did you wind up here?"

He shrugged. "Same as you. I was out at night, enjoying myself at a night club. When I was heading home afterwards did those four bastards surround me."

"I'm sorry."

"That was weeks ago." Atemu waved off.

Footsteps echoed in the hallway as a pair of guards and one of the men in black cloaks headed their way. The three stopped in front of their cells, the man smiling.

"Well, well, look who's awake. I hope you're comfortable with your cell, Black Rose." The cloaked man said in a smooth baritone voice.

"You hoped wrong." Aki replied coldly.

"Soon you'll think differently. Now as for you, my precious Desert Prince, are you ready for another one of my lessons?" the stranger turned to Atemu.

"You don't own me, Ares." Atemu hissed.

Ares clicked his tongue. "You still hate me, even after all the times I spared you from the most painful of punishments."

"You call yourselves gods, when you're only men with a ridiculous amount of magic within your souls. Here you've trapped a real god, and soon you'll all be paying the price." The teen warned.

"Talk all you want, your powers have been restricted to the point you can only do minimal damage to us. If you want to survive this place, I recommend you bite your tongue. If we strip you from all of your powers, then you'll die from exhaustion." Ares countered back.

"A god, even in the human flesh, cannot die." Atemu narrowed his eyes.

'How is he so confident against this man?' Aki furrowed her eyebrows.

The man in the cloak snapped his fingers, the guards stomped one foot in unison, ready for their orders.

"Tie him up. He needs to learn another painful lesson." Ares cackled, smirking evilly.

The guards snickered as they punched in the code to open the strange energy shield, taking out nylon ropes as the cornered Atemu.

Aki ran to her shield as she watched helplessly as the teen struggled to fight back. But whatever punishment he had previously, had taken its toll on him for he was too weak to fight back for very long. The guards had tied his hands behind his back, nearly dragging him along before Ares' feet.

"Hmmm." Ares hummed, lifting Atemu's chin up. "You are my most prized possession, Desert Prince. You are strong and confident, yet you are still so delicate like the rose you are."

"I. Belong. To. No. One!" Atemu growled, suddenly baring fangs as his eyes darkened with hatred, his pupils grew long into cat-like slits.

Aki couldn't suppress the shivers running down her back. She tore her gaze away from the terrifying teen to Ares, who didn't seem to be scared at all.

"My, my, such anger." Ares smirked, leaning forward, their faces mere inches away.

"This is a good sign, Desert Prince. Now the next step is to channel your anger, build it up inside you, just enough to set your powers free from your soul."

Atemu spat in the man's face.

Ares froze for a moment, surprised.

Aki watched, holding her breath as the cloaked man straightened himself as he wiped away the fluids from his face. His smirk transformed into a deep frown, and even though she couldn't see his eyes, Aki knew he was glaring menacingly at Atemu.

"Take him to the electric bed. I'm not going to hold back this time, Desert Prince."Ares said in a tone that promised a world of pain.

As the guards took the still struggling Atemu away, Aki pounded her fists against the barrier.

"No! Where are you taking him! What are you going to do him!" she demanded, watching helplessly as Atemu was dragged out of sight.

Ares turned to her, answering with only a smirk.

"Aren't you going to say anything? Tell me what you're going to do!" Aki shouted as she continued to pound the barrier.

The cloaked man said nothing as he followed the guards, still smirking a knowing smirk.

"No! Don't hurt him! Don't you dare hurt him!"

She didn't understand why she was screaming, she didn't even know why she was demanding to know what they will do to someone she had just met. Aki never grew attached to anyone so quickly. But maybe she did in this case because something about Atemu reminded her of Yusei.

Ares laughed. "That's right, feed your anger Black Rose. Soon you'll take your first step of hardening your skills."

Aki stopped her pounding, hearing those words over and over in her head. The way he spoke, the way he told her to feed her anger, reminded her of Divine. But this man was much worse than Divine. Divine only twisted words, twisting people's minds to his will.

Ares was a more sadist control freak. Even though she only knew of him for a few moments, his intentions made Divine look kind.

Whimpering, Aki fell to her knees, gripping her arm as she tried to call out to the others through their bond. But something was wrong, her mark couldn't reach out to them. It didn't take her long that the prison around her was probably put under spells to prevent her to contact the other Signers.

Although she didn't want to, the tears came. Aki leaned against the energy shield as she wished with all her heart that Yusei and the others will come to her rescue.

Death: Ok, there's a few things I'd like to go over, and the first is please don't tell me anything of religious shit. The Holy Priests are only called so because I wanted to give them a name that was the opposite of what they are. More will be explained within the next couple of chaps.

1) Engergy Barrier: Think of it as a shield, or better yet a barrier, kind of like the barriers Naraku uses in Inuyasha. If you don't know anything of Inuyasha, you should be ashamed.

2) Atemu: I know, he seems real angry and a bit too Seto Kaiba-like. But there's a reason why, because he has had a troubled life as he was forced to come back as a living god. More will be explained in the next chapter.

3) Ares: It is not his real name, but he named himself after a Greek God of war, bloodlust, manly courage, and civil war. Ares is the leader of the four Holy Priests for he is more controlling than the other three. And of course the other three have also named themselves after Greek Gods, their names will be revealed in the next chap.

There, I hope everything's cleared up. Also, as a small warning, there will be slight yaoi, and it's not with the two main characters. They would make a pretty couple but they're too much alike. I would leave hints of what the pairings will be as the story continues, but I'm sure you guys might figure it out before then.

Without further ado, please click the magic button underneath and tell me what you think!
