Ride 1- Fortune Cup Frontier- Beelze King of Dark Dragons
(Duel Stadium Hallway- Lyra jogs down the corridor)
Lyra: ("They said to meet up at the entrance after they had a look around but—") (Bumps into Sect.)
Sect: HEY, WATCH IT!
Lyra: Sect?
Sect: Huh? Lyra? All this weird stuff's happening lately. Yusei was arrested and taken to facility, then I was forced to sleep on the street with this weird old guy, and then these two blue-haired twins helped me out and cooked me dinner, and Yusei came out of the facility and got back his runner and then lost his memory and now he has it back and—
Lyra: Sect… calm down a second…
Sect: Yeah… guess I got a little too worked up there, huh? (Rubs the back of his head.) Hey, you wanna grab something to eat?
Lyra: No thanks, I just had breakfast half an hour ago.
Sect: Okay. So, what are you doing here?
Lyra: What am I doing here? What are you doing here? Weren't you looking after those blue-haired twins?
Sect: Yeah… well… about that… I wanted to come and rescue you from the- well, I'd best keep that a surprise. Sorry I missed two of your birthdays by the way…
Lyra: Huh, oh, that's o-
Sayer: (Enters.) Lyra, I finally found you.
Lyra: Oh, hey Dad.
Sect: HE'S YOUR DAD?!
Lyra: Erm… (Looks up at Sayer) Yeah…?
Sayer: Of course, are you two little love birds finished yet?
Sect: Well we only just—
Sayer: That's fine. Come on Lyra (Grabs Lyra by the wrist.) we're leaving!
Sect: What?! But I didn't even—
Sayer: Remember our talk yesterday?
Sect: Yeah, but—
Sayer: May as well save it, we'll be leaving now.
Sect: What?!
Sayer: (Flicks Sect on the forehead.)
Sect: Ow!
Sayer: You won't last 5 seconds in a tournament like this with that much power. You may as well give up before it even starts. (Exits, holding Lyra by the wrist dragging her away.)
Sect: Yeah right! You watch, I'll make the finals and duel Yusei, just you wait and see! (Exits.)
(Stadium- Duel Field.)
MC: Duellists young and old, professional and amateur alike, welcome to the Fortune Cup held right here in the Kaiba dome in New Domino City! Now let's get this tournament underway with our very own h=king of turbo duels- the master of faster himself- JACK ATLAS!
Jack: (Enters on his duel runner.) WHAT SAY WE KICK THIS TOURNAMENT INTO OVERDRIVE?!
Crowd: YEAH, JACK ATLAS IS BAE! HE'S THE BEST!
Jack: (Plays a card on his Duel Disk.) Alright then, come forth- RED DRAGON ARCHFIEND!
Crowd: That's his ace monster! It's soooo cool!
Jack: (Lands his duel runner somewhere near the middle of the duel field.) Alright, listen up! This may be the first tournament I've never been a part of until the very end, but that still doesn't give me any excuses for my passion not to burn as bright as it does in any other!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
MC: Alright, and now that Jack and Red Dragon Archfiend are ready, let's call forth the duellists participating in this tournament! I give you- THE FORTUNE EIGHT! (Koda, Leo, Shira and Yusei enter from the left. Grieger, Akiza, Frank and Randsborg from the right.) Now let's hear it for! The always mysterious Shira! The great Greiger! Commander Koda! The Professor! Miss Akiza Izinski! Sir Randsborg! The lovely Miss Luna! And Yusei Fudo!
Crowd: Hey, that guy's got a mark, I bet he's Satellite Trash and all. Lose the loser, lose the loser, lose the loser, lose the loser, lose the loser, lose the loser-
Grieger: Gimme that! (Takes MC's mic from him.)
MC: Huh?
Grieger: I have to say something. My name is Grieger, I know things are different in this city, but where I come from, you judge a guy by his spirit. (Points at Yusei.) This kid right here may have been branded by your people as a no-good, but when I look at him, all I see is a duellist; and being a duellist myself, that means I have to respect him until he gives me a reason not to, because a duellist doesn't judge another duellist based on where he comes from or who his family is, or how much money he has; that isn't what really matters. (Returns mic to MC.)
Goodwin: (Claps.)
All: (Clap.)
MC: And now if you'd please turn your attention to the shuffle board screen!
(Waiting Room.)
Leo: This new duel disk you fixed up for me rocks!
Yusei: I'm glad you like it.
Leo: I can't believe I'm actually going to do this! (To Sect and Yusei, excited.) You don't have any last-minute pointers for me do ya?
Sect: Yep, remember to adapt to your opponent!
Leo: (Runs off.)
Sect: Yusei, Lyra's over there!
Yusei: Don't go and talk to her after yesterday.
Sect: I think I'll do just that!
Yusei: Sect don't do it!
Sect: (Stands up.) What harm's it gonna do?
Yusei: (Grabs Sect by the arm.) Sect, who was that guy yesterday?
Sect: That was Sayer, Lyra's god-father.
Yusei: The fact he threatened you not to go near Lyra means he can control a lot of people… perhaps even Goodwin, you need to be careful.
Sect: Yeah, yeah, I know all that, but he's the guy I have to deal with in order to get Lyra back.
Yusei: Just be careful… okay? (Let's go of Sect's wrist)
Sect: Alright, alright… (Walks over to Lyra and pulls out a chair next to her at the table, sitting down.) Hey Lyra!
Lyra: Oh, hey, Sect.
Sect: Who's your friend across the table?
Lyra: She was introduced as one of the tournament's participants— Miss Akiza Izinski. She's facing Randsborg in the next match.
Sect: Ohhhhh. Hi there my name's Sect Ijuin, I'm Lyra's—
Akiza: (Glares at Sect.)
Lyra: She can be a little touchy at times…
Sect: Yeah… I got that…
Lyra: What are you over here for anyway? I heard about the threat he posed you.
Sect: Oh, yeah. Just wanted to say Imma get you outta there.
Lyra: Don't!
Sect: Why not?
Lyra: It's too dangerous. Besides, I don't want you getting hurt.
Sect: Danger's my middle name!
Lyra: Yeah, and knowing you, you're prone to it.
Sect: (Whispers) Okay… I guess I can leave it up to you for a while. Just tell me when you need me and I can bust you outta there. (Walks back over to Yusei.) It's already over?
Yusei: Yep. Let's go meet up with him.
(Corridor.)
Luna: Hey, cheer up Leo it's not like everyone saw you lose.
Sect: Yeah, like 15,000,000 tops.
Yusei: It's not a loss if you learnt something… now you know more than you did before… right Leo?
Leo: Yeah, more about losing. Can't wait to use that in my next match…
Akiza: (Enters, walking down the corridor very quickly.) Excuse me!
Leo, Luna and Sect: (Move next to wall so Akiza can leave.)
Leo: So, what's her problem?
(Ten minutes later)
Lyra: I just find the whole thing ludicrous. First, I lose the preliminary round of matches meaning I can't qualify for the tournament, and then I get a letter to say that I can participate. But they don't announce my name at the entrance ceremony. I don't get what the deal is, Sect said that he was a contestant too, but he wasn't there when the MC announced all the Fortune Cup's applicant's either.
Sect: There you are Lyra!
Lyra: Sect?
Sect: Yeah… but not just me… (Points at Yusei.)
Lyra: Yusei!
Sect: Yeah, lucky guess.
Lyra: Well, he is your only friend, isn't he?
Sect: ONLY?! I have tons!
Lyra: Sorry, I was only kidding…
Sect: No need to apologise… (Blushes.)
Yusei: So, Lyra, how've you been these past years?
Lyra: To be honest, not too good… what I mean is my god-father's a little power crazy and he'll do anything to get my psychic powers…
Yusei: And Kyle?
Lyra: Kyle? What about Kyle?
Yusei: You know, how is he? After I found out he left, I was pretty worried about you guys.
Lyra: I never seen him at the movement. He could be staking out somewhere for an ambush like he did in the good old days. Heh.
Yusei: I thought he was with you, though.
Lyra: I mean, that or he's travelling or something. If he's been gone this long, I guess he's coming back soon.
Sect: Lyra, make sure you watch Yusei's next match, 'kay it's gonna be awesome
Lyra: Sure, but I have to get back to ya on that one. I need to get to the Arcadia Movement seats before I get found out that I ran away again.
Sect: Why don't you come and sit with me?
Lyra: I can't, it's not that easy with Arcadia and everything. I can't leave Aura and Saph alone with people like that.
Sect: But—
Lyra: No buts. I'll be okay, I have friends who can gonna support me.
Yusei: Sect, I think Akiza's match just ended… you wouldn't want Lyra to get in trouble, would you?
Sect: No… okay then, let's go. (He and Yusei leave)
Sayer: (Enters.) Why were you just talking to yourself?
Lyra: No. I was talking to my friend.
Sayer: And your friends are made from slips of paper.
Lyra: Monster spirits do exist, ya know?
Syer: Never mind. (He leaves, dragging Lyra out.)
(Arcadia Movement- Sayer's office. Sayer enters and holds the door open for Lyra who enters behind him. Sayer has a coffee mug in his free hand.)
Sayer: (Takes a sip of his coffee.) Take a seat, Lyra. (He sits behind his desk)
Lyra: Err… okay… (Sits down opposite Sayer.) So, why did you bring me here anyway? You know how freaked out I get when I come in here. It always feels like the statues are watching me and it creates a really chilling atmosphere.
Sayer: You think I should care about your opinion?
Lyra: Well, yeah, I'm your go-daughter aren't I?
Sayer: Does that really matter to you?
Lyra: (Sigh) No, but I'm here.
Sayer: And so is someone else who'd like to see you again?
Lyra: Again? Is it… Kyle…? No. It can't be. He's been missing for the past two years! He's really here?
Sayer: Well in short, yes. He wanted to— (Kyle knocks on door.) Speaking of, that must be him now. You can come in! (Kyle opens the door and enters, closing it behind him.)
Lyra: Huh? I don't see how I'm supposed to be reuniting with Kyle if he's constantly wearing that get-up!
Kyle: That attitude of yours hasn't changed much, has it, Lyzy?
Lyra: It really is you? That hair, and those eyes, you haven't changed a bit!
Kyle: I haven't, huh?! (Takes off the mask and cloak, dropping them on the floor.)
Lyra: Nope.
Kyle: Nor have you. I mean, it's your birthday and that's why I wanted to meet you on such short notice.
Lyra: Yeah, I guess… Wait, this isn't some sort of psychic illusion, is it?!
Kyle: Of course, not, I'm as real as I'll ever be!
Lyra: Good, (runs to Kyle.) then I guess you'll be able to feel this then!
Kyle: Feel what? (Slaps him. Kyle rubs his face where she slapped him.) OW! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR?!
Lyra: Backstabbing me and Sect, ya lousy traitor! And there's more where that came from! (Goes to punch him.)
Sayer: (Catches Lyra's fist) Lyra, stop…
Lyra: Huh? (Kyle grabs her other arm when Lyra looks at Sayer.)
Sayer: Do you have any idea what you just did?
Lyra: Whadya mean?
Kyle: I'm actually not here for you. I'm here for your god-father. Ya see, Lyra, I'm his personal bodyguard…
Lyra: You're what?
Kyle: One of his personal bodyguards. Actually, his best. It means that I'm, no longer on your side.
Lyra: But Kyle… you— ("No way… this feeling… shadow miasma…? Kyle's not got a monster inside him but… something's off here… way off… it's like Sayer's controlling him, infecting his mind. No. It's not that… he's influencing Kyle's attitude and feelings through mere words… But if the stronger shadow miasma is coming from Sayer… then that means… He's a holder of one of the legendary 9 psychic beasts!") You're not gonna brainwash me, again are you?!
Sayer: No— Wait, how do you know about that?!
Lyra: For the record, I've woken up nearly three times with memory loss. And I was awake for a while when it was performed on me. Just what happened to my parents anyway?! You never tell me anything that I need to know!
Sayer: Because I never want to bring back those memories! I wanted to protect you, but it can't be helped…
Lyra: Protect me?! What?! I thought you wanted to kill me! (Sayer nudges his head to the side a little. Kyle nods and takes Lyra's arm, bending it.) Argh! Kai, that hurts! Stop it! Please! (Kyle forces Lyra's arm to her back, holding it there firmly as he tackles her to the floor. He then takes her other hand and places it on top, holding them down as firmly as possible.)
Lyra: What're you doing?! (Tries to kick him, fails.)
Kyle: I'm doing what's right.
Lyra: Oh, shut up, Kyle! Daddy always said that I should protect my family and friends and that they'd protect me, right? He taught you the same lesson, didn't he?
Kyle: That' true, but do you remember what else he said? He said that you can trust no-one! You're so naïve sometimes it's unbearable!
Lyra: Well after doing what you did to us, I guess I never really trusted you in the first place!
Kyle: Then why all of the mind games?
Lyra: The only so-called mind games are the ones being played by you and my so-called Godfather over there! You shouldn't underestimate me anyways!
Kyle: You don't think I've got stronger too?
Lyra: You're my only remaining family and you insist on doing this to me?
Kyle: Just because we're family it doesn't mean that our ideals are the same.
Lyra: So, he is brainwashing you, I knew it!
Sayer: (Kneels down to Kyle's level.) The Brain Control spell card, make sure you can watch her at all times.
Lyra: No! I beg you, I'll do as you ask, watch me all you want, but I beg you don't play any spells!
Sayer: I'm doing you a favour here!
Lyra: Yeah? And what favour would that be?!
Sayer: By removing Sect Ijuin from your life, it will be better!
Lyra: NO, IT WON'T!
Sayer: I would act the opposite way if you ever want to see him alive again!
Lyra: What did you do to him?!
Sayer: Nothing yet, but rest assured my dear Lyra, he will pay!
Lyra: Urgh. Do what you want to me, just please… don't hurt Sect or my friends.
Sayer: I'm glad you see my side of things. (Takes Brain Control out of his deck and shows it to Lyra, who closes her eyes.) I now activate the spell card, Brain Control! (Lyra faints and Kyle lets go of her)
Kyle: I think you went a bit over-board there, sir.
Sayer: You say that as if I actually care about her, just because she's my god-daughter, it doesn't mean I have to. Listen Kaiser, you need to take a break.
Kyle: I swore my loyalty to you, sir. Besides, I can't let my feelings for Lyra keep dragging me down.
Sayer: You're right, there.
Kyle: True. But it's as Lyra said, I'm her cousin, I feel like it's my business to oversee her actions.
Sayer: Fine, just as long as you don't get in our way on our path to greatness.
Kyle: Yes, sir.
Sayer: Let's get going then, we don't want to be late for Akiza's duel, do we?
Kyle: No, sir… (Picks up Lyra and Sayer puts on his coat as they leave)
(Luna and Leo's apartment- Sect's room. Sect wakes up, screaming and sweating like crazy. Yusei enters.)
Yusei: Sect, are you okay?
Sect: What the heck… just happened…?
(Kaiba Dome Corridor- A few hours later...)
MC: After picking apart Commander Koda, the Black Rose will now be moving on to face the Satellite's very own Yusei Fudo, in the Fortune Cup's second to final battle! Who will win, who will go home? Stay tuned to find out!
Yusei: Everything okay, Akiza?
Akiza: I'm fine! (She clutches her right arm. Yusei doesn't buy it, glancing down at the motion.)
Yusei: (Holds his own right arm and meets her eyes again.) So, what's your deal with these marks of ours? When you saw mine the other day, you really freaked out.
Akiza: Yeah, well this mark has brought me nothing but pain! So, what good can come from having another one around? Ya got that? ...It's dangerous. So just keep away!
(Leo and Luna enter)
Leo: Yusei!
Luna: There you are!
Leo: We need you to settle an argument— huh? The witch!
Akiza: (Glares down at them.)
Yusei: Leo, she's not a witch.
Leo: Sorry, force of habit.
Luna: (She's unnerved at Akiza's eyes. Akiza looks aside) Huh?
Yusei: (Glares at Akiza.)
Lazar: What's going on back here? (Enters from behind Yusei, to the right of the hallway he came from.) Everybody getting along nicely? Quite the duel just now, Miss Akiza, very impressive. Before the final round gets underway, Director Goodwin has a few things he'd like to talk to you about. I'd say more, but it's confidential. Why don't you come with me, and we'll—
Sayer: Akiza must rest.
Akiza: (Gasps.)
Sayer: (Followed by Kyle and the brainwashed Lyra enter from behind Akiza.)
Lazar: And you are?
Kyle: (Steps out in front of Akiza, forming a wall between her and Lazar; Sayer stands next to Kyle.)
Sayer: Don't play dumb Laser. Your reputation precedes you. We both know that you don't like surprises so let's not pretend that you haven't done your homework like I have.
Lazar: It's not Laser it's Lazar!
Sayer: I don't care what your name is. Just stay away from Akiza, especially you Mr. Fudo. By the way, where's Sect Ijuin?
Yusei: He's err… in the bathroom…
Sayer: (Laughs.) Tell him, Good luck from all of us at the Arcadia Movement when you next see him. (Whisper.) He's going to need it. (He raises a hand, and Kyle, Lyra, Akiza, and himself leave past Lazar. Yusei watches as they walk past, scowling. Akiza, Kyle, and Lyra don't even look back.)
Lazar: Well, the director will not be pleased with this at all.
Yusei: What's the story? Goodwin; what does he want with Akiza?
Lazar: (Sarcasm) Did you not get the memo? I could've sworn we meant to keep you posted. So, sorry about that. (Laughs, smugly walking away down the hallway. Yusei watched them go.)
Leo: That Akiza creeps me out…
Luna: She seems so sad...
Yusei: Something wrong?
Luna: (Holding her right forearm) Um... my arm kinda stings or something. Whenever that girl looks at me... I feel all weird and stuff.
Yusei: (Stares at her, concerned.) Huh...
(Stadium hallway. Yusei and Sect stand together as Sect looks through his deck. Sayer and Kyle approach with Lyra.)
Kyle: Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in.
Yusei: Kyle?
Sect: No way!
Kyle: It's nice to see you both. How're you doing?
Yusei: …What're you doing with the Arcadia Movement, Kyle?
Kyle: What? Oh, it's nothing, I'm just watching over Lyra. My solemn duty as her last remaining family member, right?
Sect: It's nice to see that you're okay and care about Lyra, Kyle.
Yusei: I don't think he does care.
Sect: Huh? Whadya mean, Yusei?
Yusei: Check out Lyra's eyes… they're almost soul-less.
Sect: Hey, you're right. you okay, Lyra?
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): Why would you care? All you've ever done is got me in harms way. I hate you Sect.
Sect: Huh? But… I'm your boyfriend… I love you!
Lyra: Yeah right. And now it's my turn to put you in your place. (Activates her duel disk)
Sect: Lyra…
Yusei: Sect, I think you should duel her.
Sect: Huh? What?
Yusei: The only way you're gonna get through to Lyra is with a duel.
Sect: Alright. (Activates his duel disk)
Yusei: She's strong.
Sect: Yeah, I know. Her deck rocks.
Yusei: I don't mean it like that.
Sect: Huh? (Turns around to Yusei) Whadya mean, Yuse?
Yusei: Don't freak out, Sect. But I think that they might be planning to do something that'll hurt you both. Please, be careful.
Sect: I'll try. In any case, I'll see you in a little while. I can't promise that I won't get hurt, but I'll try my best not to.
Yusei: What are you talking about?
Sect: Your match with Akiza starts in twenty minutes and you need to prepare for it.
Yusei: And you?
Sect: Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Good luck out there, bro.
Yusei: Good luck to you as well, Sect. (Sect nods and Yusei exits.)
Sect: I'll take the first turn, here goes! (Draws) I summon Hell Toxic Moth, and his special ability allows me to special summon another one from my hand! But that's not all, you see when I've got two monsters on my field I'm allowed to special summon the tuner monster, Hell Needle Caterpillar!
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): ("A tuner monster…")
Lyra (Voice echoing in Sect's mind): Don't Synchro Summon!
Sect: Huh? Did you just say something, Lyra?
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): Why would I say anything to you?
Sect: Cuz you're my girlfriend damn it! And stop telling what to do!
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): I said nothing!
Sect: Fine! Then I'll ignore what I heard off of you earlier, and show you a ray of hope!
Lyra (Voice echoing in Sect's mind): I thought I told you already, don't rush things and start a Synchro Summon you can't undo!
Sect: Argh, shut up, okay. I'm tuning my Hell Toxic Moths, both at level three, with Hell Needle Caterpillar, level 2! Lord of the flies, you who led Demon Gods! Cast your shadow down on this dark world!
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): ("Heh, heh! That's right, Synchro Summon that monster…")
Sect: Come forth! Beelze, King of Dark Dragons!
MC: Whoa! Would you look at that monster? Wait, where the heck did all this fog come from?
Sect: Heh, heh, heh! I'm going to torment you to death, Sayer Divine!
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): What?! How did you catch on so quick?
Sect: Lyra Koto's aura's different… and in sense… so is mine…! (Skin cracks on his face)
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): Heh…
Sect: Why you…! What's so funny?!
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): Sorry if I offended you, Mr. Ijuin. But I can already see it. The victory at the end of this duel of ours!
Sect: So, you can see victory now? That's nice, but I just don't buy it!
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): That's right! I knew that, the instant I drew this hand!
Sect: You make me sick…! That's not even possible! How dare you look down on me! I activate a spell card! Hell Fly Nest! I inflict 200 points of damage for each and every insect monster in the grave! There are three Vermin in my grave! You're gonna take 600 damage! Get him, Hell Flies! "Winning hand"? Don't make me laugh! There's no way you can avoid this damage, not on the first turn! Quit bragging. I set one card face down, then end my end my turn!
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): My turn. (Draws.) I summon Defender of the Ice Barrier! ("I'll probably regret this later on in the duel, but if want a preview of Sect Ijuin's powers then I'll have to take my chances…") Next I activate the spell card- Monster Reborn from my hand. With this card I'm allowed to select one monster card from the graveyard and revive it to my side of the field, and who better than your Hell Toxic Moth?
Sect: WHAT?!
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): You want to know what's worse for you? Well, I'll tell you anyway, you see, I'm going to tune your Toxic Moth with my Defender! Herald of the Ice Barrier, you who's wind is as glacial as a snowy mountain! The demon wind calls upon you, now watch as I synchro summon Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier!
Sect: Brionac… so you got her ace monster onto the field…! But look at the stats! You seriously think that that pathetic sea-serpent can overthrow me?! I'd like to see you try as I- Huh?
(Sect's mind)
Lyra: Sect… listen to me…
Sect: Huh? Lyra? Where are we?
Lyra: Where does it look like?
Sect: I feel as if I just had a really long dream… and by really long… I mean like, really, really, really, really long.
Lyra: Yeah? This is your mind.
Sect: What?
Lyra: It's how I came to talk to you…
Sect: This sounds too weird to be true… somehow, I don't buy it…
Lyra: Sect, listen to me very carefully…
Sect: Lyra?
Lyra: It's as you thought… I did tell you not to synchro summon Beelze…
Sect: I knew it! And you denied it all this time…
Lyra: That wasn't me, ya know that?
Sect: Huh?
Lyra: I told you about my family… they all passed away. The only survivors are and Kyle that is… and he finally made his move…
Sect: WHAT?!
Lyra: Right… He approached because he knew how much this duel meant to us. Sayer devised a plan, it's hard to explain, but they're capturing for psychic duellists for a war. And soon as I'm not obedient, they had to take control of my mind…
Sect: But why now?
Lyra: Because this is one of the very few times that the Arcadia Movement will promoted publicly. It's as I heard in the corridor that connects my mind with his… "This is our way of showing our power to the world…" that's what I heard anyway…
Sect: I see…
Lyra: You want to save me, right?
Sect: Yeah! It's what I came here for in the first place! To rescue you!
Lyra: Then I'll give you a few pointers, but it'll have to be brief…
Sect: Okay…
Lyra: First I need to start off by saying that you need to focus on penetrating my mind. You have to focus less on the darkness of your ambition and to focus more on the light of your goal, that means when I destroy Beelze you need to get rid of Brionac as fast as you can, as soon as you do that, my mind should be cleared from any doubts and my god-father's presence should vanish. After that, it should be okay to trust me. But you'll know…
Sect: Okay…
Lyra: Let's do it!
(Stadium Hallway)
Sect: C'mon…! Bring it Sayer!
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): I activate Brionac's ability, I send Beelze back to your extra deck!
Sect: To my extra deck?!
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): Play it, Brionac! Archfiend Dragon Beelze returns to your Extra Deck!
Sect: Good… that's just what I needed…
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): Now, Brionac Dragon of the Ice Barrier, attack him directly!
Sect: I play a trap card! Hell Vermin Mine! Hell Vermin Mine sends a Hell monster from my hand to the graveyard and destroys a monster on the field! I send Hell Spider form my hand to the graveyard and destroy Brionac!
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): WHAT?!
Sect: Lyra! Are you okay, Lyra?!
Lyra: I guess… I'm alright…
Sect: Phew…
Lyra: Thanks Sect… but I don't know if I can duel you, after everything that I did back then…
Sect: You can, I know it wasn't you in control, and I love you, Lyra!
Lyra: Thanks, Sect… but I just can't bring myself to duel you now, I can't face you like this…
Sect: You can't surrender anyway, it's a tournament, remember?
Lyra: Yeah, I guess. Make your move count and save me.
Sect: Lyra…! ("We both have nothing on our fields, I have no cards in my hand either... Guess I'll have to bet everything on this draw!") (Draws.) I draw! ("Sweet!") I play Hell Gift! With this I'm allowed to draw three cards when I have no others in my hand! Of course, it's a high risk though, 'cuz If I can't summon anything I take 3000 points of damage, which will be enough to end this duel for me.
Lyra: You can do it, Sect!
Sect: This is for you, Lyra! (Draws three cards.) I got a good card, an extra-big one too! I summon Hell Centipede! When you've got monsters on your field, I can summon this guy normally, without a sacrifice! And since Brionac's off the field his effect can't touch my Centipede! Now go, Hell Centipede! Attack Lyra Directly! ("I promised that I'd save her and I did. I never wanted to duel like this but… I guess it just had to happen for her to be safe…")
MC: What a shocker, it's all over! The Ice Barrier duellist has lost! Congratulations to Sect Ijuin!
Sect: Lyra! (Runs over to Lyra)
Lyra: Sect…
Sect: Lyra… Are you okay?
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): I'm fine… oh and could I ask you a favour?
Sect: Huh? Sure.
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): Could you come to the Arcadia Movement?
Sect: Okay, sure! But why? Didn't you say not to?
Lyra (Controlled by Sayer): It'll be alright, I can trust you to do it, right?
Sect: Yeah, sure. Hehehe.
(Stands.)
Crowd: Beat the freak! This is a tournament not a creep fest! No-body likes you witch!
Aura: Argh they say so many mean things about us psychics, why can't everybody just get along?
Lyra: It's probably 'cuz they're afraid (Enters.)
Aura: Lyra?
Saph: Then why are all here to watch a psychic duel?
Seria: Easy, they're hoping that she'll lose. You see, when people are afraid of something they hate to be alone, so they often come together; and see something that's bad, making them feel good.
Aura: (Sighs) Talk about seeing the glass half empty Seria.
(Goodwin's office)
Lazar: I tried to bring the girl to you Director, but that Arcadia bunch wouldn't let her out of their sight, they may be a problem down the road.
Goodwin: I'm not worried about those diluted fools. It's not as if they have much influence. Still they managed to make her their puppet, the situation is ironic if you think about it, the Black Rose is a member of the Arcadia Movement, the Arcadia Movement opposes us and yet Akiza's going to do us of a favour. I do hope Yusei manages to win this duel, I want to see it again lazar, don't you? Don't you want to see Jack's Red Dragon Archfiend again? I want to witness the energy such a clash creates I want to feel the power!
Jack: (Laughs) I'll make you feel so much power that you won't be-able to handle it. ("Yusei you may think that you're an incredible duelist but this black rose character has a power like none that you've ever encountered. Be sure not to lose because I want to see Goodwin's face when I use the crimson dragon's power for myself…")
(MC's quarter's)
MC: Yeah, it's finally time for Akiza Izinski to face Yusei Fudo in the semi-finals and the winner of this next match will go on to face Sect Ijuin before either duelist faces Jack Atlas for the championship title.
(Stands)
Lyra: Okay guys! Let's rock and roll!
Aura: (Looks at lyra weirdly) Huh? Err come on Akiza!
Sect: Okay, here I go! (Walks over to Lyra)
Lyra: Sect, I'm surprised to see you here!
Sect: Well, yeah, but you know how I am. Say… I was wondering if can I um… (Blushing) can I watch the match with you?
Lyra: Of course! (Moves over to next seat)
Sect: (Sits down in Lyra's seat) So who do you wanna win?
Aura: Akiza, of course!
Lyra: I'm rooting for Yusei here, Aura…
Aura: I guessed you were… (Pouts)
(Duel field)
MC: Every card in their duels had led them to this moment! The last duel of the semi-finals is about to begin!
Akiza and Yusei: Let's do this!
Akiza: Hope you're ready, the first move's mine, I draw I summon wall of ivy in defense mode next I'll place one card face down to end my turn.
Yusei: My move then and I counter by summoning Speed Warrior in attack mode. On the turn Speed Warrior is summoned it's attack points double. Now, Speed Warrior, shred that Wall of Ivy!
Akiza: You better be careful Yusei, because when my ivy wall is destroyed one of my Ivy Tokens takes root to your side of the field.
MC: The black rose has used this strategy before and it really created problems for Sir Randsborg and Commander Koda, so what king of havoc will she wreck on Yusei?
Yusei: These could be a problem… It's your move!
Akiza: You're too kind, (Draws card) now then, remember that last round when I summoned my Ivy Wall just so you could tear it down with your Speed Warrior? Well I'm activating the cursed ivy trap card to bring my wall of ivy case you can't tell I've got a green thumb! Oh, and by the way I forgot to tell you that I should thank you 'cuz cursed ivy powers up my ivy wall, so now it's stronger than it was before.
Yusei: ("I know what she's doing she's trying to increase the number of ivy tokens on my field, 'cuz when that little sprout's destroyed I'll take 300 points of damage. And if she gets more on my field- ")
Akiza: Are you gonna stand there and think or are you gonna duel?
MC: It's been a relatively mellowed duel so far even the crowd seems to have simmered down a bit. Could we simply be experiencing the calm before the storm?
Yusei: My move, (Draws card) and I'm sending Speed Warrior to the graveyard to summon my turret warrior, and due to his special ability, he gains all of speed warrior's attack points looks like your Wall of Ivy's about to get uprooted.
Akiza: And it looks like another ivy token's about to shoot up on your side of the field!
Yusei: Turret Warrior attack!
Akiza: By destroying my wall of ivy you've also taken out the cursed ivy trap card and when it's destroyed two more ivy tokens to your side of the field.
Yusei: ("Man these things are growing out of control.")
Akiza: You got anything else for me?
Yusei: I'm done for now.
Akiza: That's disappointing, I draw, (Draws around) and from my hand I'm activating the Seed of Deception spell card. So, with the power of this spell card, I'm summoning Dark Verger from my hand in attack mode. But now I'm gonna do a little landscaping, to make room for something stronger. Ha, I advance summon, Rose Tentacles in attack mode. The best thing about roses, is that their thorns are as dangerous as their petals are beautiful and you're about to see why! Go Rose Retaliation!
Yusei: Ahh ah
Crowd: Ahh
MC: Yusei only took 100 points of damage from that attack but I've got a feeling that the Black Rose's strategy is about to blossom into something far more terrifying.
Akiza: That attack was just the beginning so get ready for my Rose Tentacles special ability to squeeze you into submission. Now you take damage for the four Ivy Tokens on your field, this might hurt a little.
(Stands)
Aura: That's some move…
Sect: So, she's gonna attack four times?!
Lyra, Aura, Sapphire and Seria: (Nod)
(Duel field)
Akiza: This is the part of the duel that I enjoy the most, because now, I get to watch the power of my Rose Tentacles and Ivy Tokens clean your life points dry.
MC: INCREDIBLE! AKIZA'S MANAGED TO PLANT FOUR IVY TOKENS ON YOUR FIELD WHICH MEANS SHE CAN LET LOOSE A DOUBLE DOSE OF WITH EACH ATTACK YUSEI'S GONNA TAKE 300 POINTS OF DAMAGE I WOULDN'T W TO BE IN YUSEI'S BOOTS RIGHT NOW!
(Stands)
Sect: Oh no
Lyra: Well, it was nice knowing ya guys.
Seria: Maybe we should you know… um… duck.
(Duel field)
Akiza: Let's see if people keep picking on me after this! Get ready Yusei!
Yusei: Ahh
(Stands)
Sect: Ahhhhhhh
(Duel field)
Yusei: Ahhhhhhh
Akiza: Here's one more! Attack!
Yusei: Ahh
(Goodwin's office)
Lazar: We've finally found someone who can push Yusei to his limits I'm getting some popcorn. Is anyone interested?
(Duel field)
Akiza: You're not giving in yet?! Well maybe this'll change your mind!
Yusei: Uhhh ("I don't think she cares about winning there's something else driving her. I know the world has been cruel to you because of the mark you have, Akiza but you have to realize that retaliating won't do anybody any good!")
Akiza: Huff, huff. I'm gonna enjoy this! Now attack!
Yusei: Ahhhh Ahh!
Akiza: Look at you, there helpless and alone, no-one's helping you and no-one wants to, now you know what it feels like to be me in this cruel, cold world.
Yusei: ("She's smiling; she's actually enjoying my pain") Hu whoa! Uhh!
Crowd: (Gasp)
MC: Akiza's attack has the stadium in chaos, just like we thought Akiza is-
Crowd: -A witch! It's true! That girl's a witch! Cheater! She's dangerous!
(In stands)
Seria: (Mouth opened from shock) ("What have you done Sayer!?")
(Duel field)
Yusei: Uhh (gets up) Uhhh Ahhh Akiza… I want to help you! (Draws card) I want to be your friend, and I'm gonna use every card that I have to prove it, so I'll start by summoning shield warrior in defence mode. Next, I place two cards face down to end my turn.
Akiza: Huff, huff, huff, huff, huff…
Yusei: I think that I understand it now… what makes you tick Akiza. Because of all that people have put you through… You enjoy it…
Akiza: Enjoy what, Yusei?
Yusei: You enjoy other people's misery, you like how it makes them feel, you like how it makes you feel.
Akiza: You're right and for the rest of the duel … I'm really planning on enjoying myself!
MC: Akiza appears to have Yusei exactly where she wants him. Can he escape the reach of the black rose's Rose Tentacles? Or will his life points be squeezed into submission? Let's watch and find out.
Akiza: Well, Yusei? Ahh, it's my turn (draws card) and I activate Ivy Shackles! And with this spell I can now turn your Shield warrior into a plant type monster. Before you know it, Yusei; your field will be turned into one, giant greenhouse. So with your warrior now under the control of my rose tentacles she can now attack you an extra time this round, you said I enjoy other people's misery, well I guess I should really enjoy this shouldn't I?!
Yusei: ("Oh, man, my Shield Warrior may be in defence mode, but he can't protect me from both attacks…")
Akiza: Now, Rose Tentacles attack, thrash his warrior! Go rose retaliation!
Yusei: Ahh urgh
Akiza: Oh, and by the way my Rose Tentacles power doesn't stop there since your warrior is under her control you now take 300 points of direct damage!
Yusei: Ahh Uhhh
Akiza: (Laughs)
Yusei: Akiza… listen, don't do this!
Akiza: Huh, don't do what? Attack you directly? Well I don't do charity.
Yusei: then I play my trap card by sending one of the cards in my hand to the graveyard card defences cancels your attack! And then it allows me to draw a new card to replace it!
Akiza: it'll take more than that to stop me
Yusei: Akiza! You have to listen to me, you can't keep duelling with this anger!
Akiza: Oh, yeah?! Well, until you battled with my duel disk save it, I don't need your help.
Yusei: ("We'll see!") (Draws card) I summon Junk Synchron in attack mode! And thanks to his special ability I can now special summon another monster from my graveyard, so say hello to Speed Warrior! And now I'll tune him with Junk Synchron to synchro summon Junk Warrior! Let's rev it up! And now I'm activating the spell card Junk Barrage, which gives him a power boost! Alright pal, now attack rose tentacles! And now the effect of my Junk Barrage activates! So as soon as my warrior destroyed your garden gone wild you lose life points for each of rose tentacle's attack points! Looks like you're up.
MC: THAT WAS A BIG ROUND FOR YUSEI! NOW WILL JUNK WARRIOR MAKE TRASH OUT OF THE BLACK ROSE?!
(Stands)
Crowd: BOOOOOO! Take that you witch! Get her outta here!
Seria: Hmh!
Sect: ("There's something different about the way Yusei's duelling it's as if he's holding back and trying to help Akiza")
(Duel field)
Akiza: You wanna see combo's watch! (Draws card) First of all, since my Ivy Shackles is still in effect Junk Warrior now becomes a plant type monster! Next up, I'm summoning my Copy Plant in defence mode! And I bet you can guess what its ability is just by its name, but in case you weren't paying attention it can copy the level of any other plant monster on the field and since your warrior is now a plant monster my Copy Plant now becomes a level five monster and now that I have the power of my tuner monster Copy Plant on my field I'll special summon Dark Verger from my graveyard and now I think I'll tune my Dark Verger with my Copy Plant for a synchro summon.
Yusei: Huh!
Akiza: I bring out my ultimate monster! I Synchro Summon black rose dragon!
Yusei: (Mark starts glowing along with Akiza and Lyra's) Ahhhh!
Akiza: And as soon as it's summoned to the field, I can activate its special ability, so, by removing one of the plant type monsters in my hand from play I can choose one of your monsters and send its attack points to zero! I'll sacrifice my Wall of Ivy, it's a small price to pay to take out all of Junk Warriors attack points!
Yusei: Not Junk Warrior!
Akiza: That tin can's worthless now! there's nothing that you can do! Black Rose Dragon attack!
Yusei: He might not be able to help me, but guess who can? By removing my Shield Warrior from play, I can save Junk Warrior from being destroyed!
Akiza: But you're still gonna feel the wrath of my dragon!
Yusei: Not if I play this! My Spirit Force! So now all the damage from your dragon's attack is negated!
Crowd: Ahhhh!
Yusei: Huh? ("Oh man, her power is getting out of control. I have to finish this duel before someone gets hurt!") With the power of my Spirit Force I bring back Junk Synchron from my graveyard!
Akiza: Well, let's see what that hunk of junk can do against two face downs!
Crowd: She's dangerous! Just send her away! Freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak! No-one likes you!
Akiza: Just keep it up, just keep putting me down, I know it makes you feel good but now let me show you what makes me feel good… It's time to show you what misery really is! My whole life, I've tried to ignore all the teasing and name calling, but I can't ignore the pain that it causes, but I can't avoid it forever, Yusei! I'll make them stop!
Yusei: ("I have to help her before she does something she'll regret! If I show her that her power's a gift and not a curse, then maybe she'll stop causing all this pain!") It's my move! (Draws card) ("Nice with prevention star I can stop one of her monsters from attacking! I better hold onto it for later, I've got a feeling that the big dunks are coming out soon.") I summon Junk Synchron to the field in attack mode, and thanks to his special ability I can summon Speed Warrior automatically. ("Perfect, now I can bring out Stardust Dragon") Now, I tune Junk Synchron with my Junk Warrior! Meet my friend, Stardust Dragon!
MC: In all my years broadcasting, I've never seen a monster I have never seen a monster like this, if you're watching from home do not adjust your television screen! It's as unbelievable as it appears!
(Stands)
Aura: That's!
Sect: (Over-excited) Stardust Dragon! Alright it's good to see you again!
Saph: Hold on, why would he bring a card weaker than his warrior?
Sect: That's Yusei's style, he uses weaker monsters to bring forth more powerful ones!
Seria: it's amazing I don't care if it's weak, it's so cool
Aura: ("Seria's meant to be our responsible administrator and the one looking out for us, but yet… she's not… She's just like Lyra…")
(Goodwin's office)
Jack: Not bad!
Goodwin: Excellent!
(Duel field)
MC: These two dragons are about to do battle
Akiza: You brought out that dragon to remind me about the pain that this detestable mark on my arm has brought me. Why would you do that?
Yusei: Huh?
Akiza: Do you really believe that just because we have this mark in common you know what I feel and I've been through.
Yusei: I'm just trying to show you you're not as different as you think. I don't have to be your enemy I could be your friend.
Akiza: friend? …Who said I wanted a friend, we both have these detestable marks on our arms so no matter what we'll always be outcasts, get it, our fate is to be alone, my family, my classmates everyone; I've ever known I've hurt. That's why having friends isn't a choice, it's something that I can never do… Some have said it's time to move on and to forget about the past because maybe then people won't fear my abilities. Maybe then I can live a normal life or at least as close to normal as people like us can get. Maybe even have a friend… but you heard the crowd didn't you Yusei? They don't understand me; 8,000 people are shouting that they're afraid of me!
Yusei: Don't listen to them listen to me!
Akiza: I need my powers why are you trying to help me, Yusei?
Yusei: Because I know you
Akiza: You know who? The scared girl? Perhaps the girl behind her powers?
Yusei: I know what it's like to be the outcast, I'm from the satellite do you think people like what they saw in me?! You can't stay afraid, you can't hide behind your powers forever!
Akiza: You're wrong!
Yusei: ("I didn't want for it to come to this Akiza, but it's like you've left me no choice.") Stardust dragon attack black rose dragon with cosmic flare!
Akiza: Sorry, but on my next turn I will!
Yusei: Listen…
Akiza: No, you listen! It's my move! (Draws card) And I activate Magic Planter. So, by removing my Ivy Shackles from the game I get to plant two new face downs and next I'll activate one of them, Dark Tuning! For the price of 1800 life points I can summon any synchro monster from my graveyard. And I'm bringing back black rose dragon! But I'm not done yet! Because now I can equip wicked rebirth to black rose dragon. She might not be able to attack this turn, but as long as she's equipped with this card she can be re-summoned at the end of each and every round. So, for those of you at the back of the class, that means if it's ever destroyed in battle or by sub special spell it comes back as good as new at the end of my turn! Oh, and last but not least, when Black Rose Dragon's special summoned all the cards on your field are destroyed! So, say goodbye to your pathetic pet!
Yusei: ("I've gotta stop this!") I activate Stardust's special ability it might be a big price to pay but I can sacrifice my dragon to take out yours and all of its powers! It's a dragon for a dragon!
Akiza: You may have rid the field of my dragon, but let's see how you can handle Pheonixian Seed, and since we're ditching cards to activate special abilities I'll sow my seed to summon Pheonixian Cluster Amaryllis, and before you start with don't duel with anger let's see how I change your tune when I destroy another of your monsters. Amaryllis attack! But it doesn't end there you see once Amaryllis attacks, it self-destructs causing another 800 points of damage… this might hurt a little.!
Yusei: Ahhhhh!
Akiza: Told ya! I'll end with a face down.
Yusei: This round isn't even close to being over Akiza, remember I used Stardust Dragon's ability, and that means he comes back.
Akiza: Well then, I guess our two beasts will have to battle it out again, this is the beginning of the end! I resummons, Black Rose Dragon, and with it on the field I now activate my trap Overdoom Line, so now the monster I summoned from the graveyard gains 1000 attack points. And to keep her company I'm activating my Amaryllis' special ability to bring her back from the graveyard. It's your turn Yusei!
Yusei: I draw then (Draws Card) … ("Cosmic Blast, now if my dragon ever leaves the field it can still deal damage to Akiza, I know the only way to help her is to defeat her and I'm starting to see a just a combo to do it.") I take Stardust Dragon and switch it to defence mode, and next I'll activate Prevention Star, and since Stardust Dragon to defence mode and equip Prevention Star to it so now I can prevent one of your monsters from attacking or changing its battle position and I think that I'll freeze up tour Pheonixian Cluster Amaryllis.
Akiza: I play the trap card synchro back! So, by removing one synchro monster from my field I can summon it again next turn and who better than my black rose dragon, Yusei!
Yusei: I'll end by throwing down a face down.
Akiza: It won't help you, I draw. 'Cuz thanks to Synchro Back, Black Rose Dragon, urgh!
Yusei: It's your sign!
Akiza: I wish it was gone!
Yusei: But it's a part of you, it's a part of all of us; having this mark doesn't make you a witch, Akiza, it makes you special, I know other people don't see that and I know it hurts; but when you get angry at them you're only hating yourself. The pain you feel by that mark is shared by me as well. It's trying to bring us together, to strengthen us. I don't understand it yet but this pain is somehow uniting us. We have to figure out what it wants from us, but first you must realize that we're not alone and that we're connected, we're all connected we're all going to make a choice, we're all going to have to bond together in order for this to all make sense, embrace your dragon, it's beautiful just like you are.
Akiza: I'm not beautiful! People didn't like me and it's this mark that's caused the suffering that I've had to live through!
Yusei: You're right, but if you stay mad you'll always suffer!
Akiza: Huh, so just accept it, embrace it, forget the past hate's all I know, this discussion is over I activate Black Rose Dragon's special ability all your cards are destroyed along with this stadium!
Yusei: I won't let you do this I use my dragon's special ability, I'll sacrifice him to stop this destruction, stop fighting Akiza, it's over, the dragon inside you wasn't me to destroy!
Akiza: She's gone, Black Rose Dragon's gone, but that doesn't mean we're finished, Yusei, Prevention Star's gone too, meaning that Amaryllis can now attack. But you still have that face-down, don't you? The question is will it be enough?! You've wasted your time trying to save me. Now it's to see if you can save yourself. Let's see if you can stop me!
Yusei: I never wed to stop you, I wanted to save you. And I intend to with Cosmic Blast. Now because Stardust Dragon left the field you lose life points for all its attack points. You would've seen it coming if you weren't hiding behind your powers.
Akiza: (Screams and falls onto knees, then starts crying.)
Yusei: Huh?
Akiza: That's right… The Black Rose is crying.
Yusei: Huh, Akiza!
Sayer: (Walks over to Akiza) Is not any of your concern, I think you've done enough mutilation for today Mr. Fudo. Akiza's coming home with me (puts his coat over Akiza.) (To Akiza) It's okay you tried, next time… you'll do better... (Both walk out)
MC: THE WINNER OF THE MATCH IS YUSEI FUDO AND HE'LL MOVE ONTO THE FINALS TO FACE SECT IJUIN!
(20 mins later- MC's quarters)
MC: What a round after Sect and Beelze fell to the ground Satellite's very own Shooting Star, Yusei Fudo will move on to the final battle and duel against Jack Atlas!
(Stands)
Sect: Here looks like a good place to sit.
Lyra: Yeah, I mean these seats are at the front row talk about awesome!
Sect: Yeah, and now all we gotta do is cheer on Yusei until he wins, right?!
Lyra: Yup.
(Track)
Jack: This is it I'm finally going to show you what it takes to be the best, Yusei. You never have!
Yusei: Are you sure we should be doing this right now Jack? There's still lots more that we don't know about the Crimson Dragon.
Jack: This is exactly what I'm talking about Yusei you have no guts, you never wanna take any risks. Don't you wanna reveal the fifth signer?!
Yusei: ("The fifth signer? That's right the old man said that there were five marks of the dragon. So, there's Me, Luna, Jack and Akiza. And Jack's right, this means that the fifth signer has to be somewhere in this arena but just who is it?")
MC: Alright, it's time to activate the Speed World Field Spell
Duel runners: Duel mode engaged, auto pilot standing by.
MC: This is the moment, will Jack Atlas continue to reign as the king of turbo duels, or will he be dethroned by Yusei Fudo? It's time to find out.
(Duel runners start up)
Jack: Admit it, Yusei, the roar of the crowd is more appealing than the scamper of mice and rats.
Yusei: Let's just duel! It's my turn (Draws card) and I'm summoning out my Shield Wing in defence mode! Next I place two cards face down to end my turn!
Jack: In that case, it's my turn, (Draws card) I summon Twin Sword Marauder in attack mode! You may have just scratched your way to the title match but those other duelists were just amateurs compared to me!
(In stands)
Sect and Lyra: WHO'S HE CALLING AMETEURS?!
(Track)
Jack: Now, I'll allow my Twin Sword Marauder to give you a proper welcome to the big leagues, Yusei!
Yusei: Urgh!
Jack: you haven't grown a bit of a duelist since the days of riding 'round in the sewers. I can still anticipate your game and play two steps ahead of you!
Yusei: Then you should know that shield wing can't be destroyed in one attack it has to be defeated twice.
Jack: I do know that and it's lucky that my Twin Sword Marauder can attack twice as long as he attacked a monster in defence mode!
Yusei: Urgh!
Jack: I said I was two steps ahead of you, Yusei, not just one! Go, Double marauder mayhem!
Yusei: Urgh!
Jack: And to end my first turn, I'll place one card face down. ("I already have the card in my hand that will lead me to victory! End of the Storm, and it will settle this matter once and for all.") you can't defeat me, Yusei!
Yusei: We'll see, Jack! My turn, (Draws card) ("Meteor Stream, Jack might be expecting this soon as I beat him with it last time so I better hold off on using it for now.") from my hand I'm summoning Junk Synchron and now I'm gonna tune it with my shield wing in order to synchro summon Junk Warrior! Let's rev it up! Now take out that marauder!
Jack: Urgh!
Yusei: Next, I activate my trap card, Synchro Blast! Now, when my warrior attacks, Synchro Blast can slam you with 500 points of damage!
Jack: Now, you're duelling, Yusei! (Draws card) But you won't be for long, because it's my turn and from my hand I'm summoning Dark Tinker! Then I activate the Powerful Rebirth trap card! And with this card I can re-summon Twin Sword Marauder from my graveyard!
(Stands)
Sect: Yes, Marauder's level four, and that Dark Tinker is only level three, so he can't summon Red Dragon Archfiend! Let's go, Yusei!
(Track)
Jack: Now the monster resurrected by Powerful Rebirth gains 100 attack and defence points and its level upsurges by one!
Yusei: What?!
(Stands)
Sect: Can I take back what I said about those monsters? 'Cuz now he can call upon red dragon!
(Track)
Jack: Yusei I'm the best turbo duelist New Domino City's ever seen and that move I just made was one more example of why I'm the champ! and now I'm going to show you how I'm gonna remain the champ! Now I synchro summon, Red Dragon Archfiend!
Yusei: Man… he's not wasting any time…
Jack: ("Back in the Satellite, I knew that in order to realize my full potential and climb up from the bottom of the world, I had to throw away everything. I had to turn my back on the Satellite and my friends nothing was more import to me than being the best but now here you come. And you're trying to take me down you're not a real duellist you've not had to sacrifice anything you always put duelling second well I'm finally going to put you in your place!")
MC: WOW JACK ATLAS HAS ALREADY TAKEN A COMMANDING LEAD OVER THE DUEL CAN YUSEI FUDO BEAT OUR CHAMPION STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT!
(Stands)
Sect: What's that? (Points at the sky)
Lyra: I don't think that today's forecast called for acid rain showers… did it?
(Goodwin's office)
Lazar: It's the sign we've been waiting for.
Goodwin: Yes, soon the Crimson Dragon will awaken from its long slumber
Lazar: Um, just one question about all that. I thought we need five signers to awaken the dragon and now we only have four, the little girl, Akiza, Yusei, and Jack, besides are we even sure we can control the dragon's power once it's been summoned? Perhaps Trudge had a point.
Goodwin: Lazar, don't you trust me? You see I know who the fifth signer is already.
Lazar: That's good, if you know, then I'll just watch this match and rela- HUH?! Wait, you know who is it? A…are they here? How exciting! Then that means we can unlock all its power!
Goodwin: That's right Lazar. But first we must see if we can harness the immense power that its summoning will create.
Lazar: (Laughs)
(Track)
Yusei: It's my turn, Jack! (Draws card) ("And its time I even up the playing field…") First I activate my trap, Descending Lost Star! So now by powering down my Junk Warrior, I can then bring it back out to my field! Then I summon Hyper Synchron! And now I tune Junk Warrior with Hyper Synchron! In order to synchro summon, Stardust Dragon!
Jack: Welcome to the party Stardust Dragon.
Yusei: (Arm glows) My arm's glowing!
MC: This is the moment we've been waiting for so get ready because these beasts are about to battle it out!
Yusei: And now, Hyper Synchron's special ability activates, you see Jack, when it's used for a synchro summon the new monster gains 800 attack points! So now my Stardust Dragon's got 3300!
Jack: Well then, I guess I'll play my trap card, Tuner Capture, this enables me to take control of the monster you used to make your synchro summon happen. What goes around comes around, Yusei!
MC: Whoa just as Yusei goes Benedict Arnold, Jack out monsters him two to one
Yusei: Well then, Stardust Dragon, why don't you even up the playing field?!
Jack: Come on, that pathetic dragon's no match for me and my deck. I trigger the trap card Tuner's Mind, and this is just one of the reasons why I'm the master of faster; and you're a worthless wannabee, now I can detune my dragon to double my defence!
Yusei: ("Oh man, if I don't take out his Twin Sword Marauder he'll just use it to bring out his Red Dragon Archfiend all over again. Next round, guess that leaves me just one thing to do.") Stardust Dragon, attack Twin Sword Marauder with cosmic flare! …No way!
Jack: Surprise, surprise you see my trap forces you to attack my Dark Tinker. When will you learn that you'll never be a match for me, Yusei I'll beat you in front of the whole world like I did back in Satellite!
Yusei: Well, that was then and this is now! Go Synchro Blast!
Jack: Urgh!
Yusei: Thanks to that trap card, when any synchro monster like my dragon attacks you automatically lose 500 life points!
Jack: The difference between us is that I can afford it! Now I can draw another card! (Draws card)
Yusei: It won't help you, Jack!
Jack: Oh, really Yusei?! I tune Hyper Synchron with twin sword marauder in order to synchro summon Red Dragon Archfiend one more time! Let's kick this turbo duel into overdrive! And just like Hyper Synchron added 800 points to your dragon, now that it's helped me with my synchro summon, I get to share its power as well! And remember, after I win this your Stardust Dragon's mine! Ready?
Yusei: Bring it, Jack!
Jack: Consider it brought!
Yusei: It looks like you forgot that when Hyper Synchron is used, neither dragon can be destroyed now!
Jack: Good thing I've got this then! My trap, Fiend's Cannon!
Yusei: Urgh!
Jack: Now you lose 500 life points because I couldn't destroy your monster! Here it comes!
Yusei: The Crimson Dragon!
MC: I SEE IT BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
(Stands)
Crowd: It's a third dragon but who summoned it?!
Lyra: My arm's radiant again!
Crimson dragon: (Roars)
(Goodwin's office)
Goodwin: Beautiful, isn't it?! So much power!
(Track)
Crimson dragon: (Roars)
Jack: Crimson Dragon, welcome to my arena! Now watch as your future master rules this duel!
Yusei: Jack, be careful! The Crimson Dragon might rip this place apart and everything in it!
Jack: Don't tell me you're scared! I am a signer, Yusei Fudo and this is my destiny! Goodwin told me that the power of this dragon will help me to save this world!
(Goodwin's office)
Goodwin: ("And it shall jack but you won't fight the coming darkness alone, legend says that once all five signers are gathered the future can be revealed! So as the fifth signer, she will show you what the future plans…")
Crimson dragon: (Roars)
Crowd: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
(Track)
Jack: What's going on?!
Yusei: Ahhhhh!
Crimson Dragon: (Roars)
Luna: Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Akiza: Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Lyra: Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
(Gateway to the Stars)
Yusei: Where are we?!
Jack: Beats me!
Luna: Huh, where's the stadium? What's going on?
Akiza: I don't know! Yusei!
Jack: What's that there?
Luna: Akiza, I'm scared
Jack: Yusei, they look exactly like the people of the stars!
Yusei: What are they doing here?! Huh?! Hey, Jack, they're all signers like us!
Jack: Goodwin told me about these people and he said somehow, we're all linked to the crimson dragon.
Yusei: That looks a lot like the satellite jack!
Luna: Huh? what's happening?
Akiza: Luna look there is that a giant spider surrounding the Satellite Sector?
Lyra: Unreal…
Yusei: I can't believe that this is happening. We have to stop it.
Jack: It can't be real. Perhaps it's the future.
Yusei: Well, if that's the future then we better stop this duel right now. We've gotta get home!
Jack: We will, just as soon as we finish this duel.
Yusei: What?!
Jack: Yusei, this is a turbo duel! The Crimson Dragon won't let either of us go back until one of us wins, and the other loses!
Yusei: Oh, come on, that's insane!
Jack: Don't you get it?! Duelling brought us here, so it'll be this here match that'll bring us home! And the winner will have shown the Crimson Dragon that they have the power to save the world! So, I'll set these two cards face down to make sure I'm that person.
Yusei: You're nuts! But anyways, it's my turn, (Draws card) and I activate Silver Contrails so now Stardust Dragon has 4300 attack points now go forth and attack Red Dragon Archfiend and take us home!
Jack: Ahhhhhhhhhhh! ("That attack it felt real for some reason, I guess the Crimson Dragon wants us to play for keeps, well that's just fine by me…")
Yusei: Next, I activate my trap, Synchro Blast.
Jack: Ahhhhhhhh! And you thought I had short memory since Hyper Synchron was used for both synchro summons, neither dragon can be destroyed in battle.
Yusei: I'll throw down three face downs and end my turn!
Jack: ("Three face downs it looks like Yusei's making his big move! Too bad it's too late! No matter what he's got hidden my speed spell over burst will destroy it!") Here we go, it's my turn! (Draws card) I can't slay your dragon, but I can take out your life points go Red Dragon Archfiend! Attack!
Yusei: Argh!
Luna: Oh no, Yusei!
Akiza: He's really hurt, it's just like when I duel people…
Yusei: What was that? I could feel his attack!
Jack: That's right, Yusei, this duel is winner take all!
Yusei: Jack, the damage we take in the duel is real!
Jack: That's right pal and now you'll see what it's like to duel with more than just your life points on the line!
Yusei: you don't know if that's true but I plan on defending myself and taking you down I activate my trap cross line counter now if I take battle damage during your turn I double it and add it as attack points plus now my Stardust Dragon can attack you.
Jack: (Laughs) Well, what are you waiting for?
Yusei: Stardust Dragon let's not keep him waiting any more attack with Cosmic Flare.
Jack: Urgh, urgh, urgh!
Yusei: Jack…
Jack: Don't worry about me; in fact, you should be a lot more concerned with yourself, (Draws card) I activate the Speed Spell- Overboost so now I get four extra speed counters this round nearly maxing me out!
Yusei: With that kind of power there's no telling what he'll do next!
Jack: that's right so let me get ready to call on one of my favourites now from my hand I activate the speed spell end of the storm! And with the power of this card, Yusei, I can now put you in your place! And since first place is all mine I guess that you'll have to settle for second!
Yusei: I'm not settling for anything, Jack! And that's because stardust's special ability can remove it from play till the end phase and counter your End of Storm.
Jack: Perhaps, but for what cost? Just look that counter only works when you sacrifice stardust and with him gone you're wide open, making this the time for my favourite trap, the Sneak Exploder, so during your next standby phase you lose 500 life points for every monster on my field and since I've got one that means your life points don't stand a chance.
Luna: Oh no! That trap'll finish Yusei off and next round he'll lose.
Yusei: Then I better keep this round going. So, I activate stardust dragon's special ability and bring him back to the field and then i'll activate Meteor Stream, Stardust Dragon end this now!
Jack: Just what I was waiting for.
Yusei: Huh?
Jack: There's a reason that I'm the champ, jack atlas is destined for great things whilst you're going down because this adventure's over I play crimson fire! Not only does it block your 1000-point trap but it boomerangs it right back to you at double the damage! Goodbye, Yusei!
Luna: Watch out!
Yusei: Sorry Jack, but I play my trap, Shining Silver Force, which douses your comeback and destroys all the spells and traps on your field!
Jack: You're still as annoying as ever!
Yusei: I never was one to give up and with your speed counters about to run out any soon!
Jack: Uh, uh, uh (Goes backwards)
Yusei: How's the new view?
Jack: (Growls)
Yusei: See ya, Jack! Time to get us home! I play my Speed Spell- Final Attack! And since I have eight speed counters the attack points of my Stardust Dragon are doubled!
Jack: 5000 no, it's too powerful!
Yusei: I don't wanna hurt you Jack, but if ending this duel is the only way home, then I've gotta attack Stardust Dragon take out his life points go! Cosmic flare!
(Duel Arena)
Jack: (Screams and falls off duel runner)
Yusei: (Panting)
MC: Ladies and gentlemen, we seem to be experiencing some technical difficulties at the moment, your patience is appreciated as we try to sort this matter out… can someone tell me why these two dragons have been frozen in mid-air get the director on the line!
(Stands)
Sect: What just happened first they were duelling then they disappeared now they're back and their dragons are gone! wait look there! Check out jack's life points but I'm not sure it's the right score!
Lyra: Yusei won, Sect… he's the champion now…
Sect: Huh? That is so awesome!
(Goodwin's office)
Lazar: JACK LOST!
(Track)
Yusei: (Runs over to Jack) Jack, are you okay?!
Jack: Yusei… you beat me … I don't know how you did it but… you're the… champ now…
Yusei: If that vision was true then none of this matters. Because it looks like we all might lose. We're in danger and our cities might be destroyed and we have to unite to stop it from happening.
Jack: You always wanted to be a hero… now here's your chance (Faints)
MC: HAS ANYONE HEARD FROM THE DIRECTOR?
Goodwin: The duel's over the champion's Yusei… tell them all…
MC: IT'S OVER AND YUSEI IS OUR WINNER FROM THE REFUGE OF REFUES HE ROSE FROM THE SLUMS OF SATELLITE HE NOW REIGNS SUPREME I PROUDLY PRESENT NEW DOMINO CITY'S NEWEST HERO YUSEI FUDO!

Seria: Lyra, I cannot believe that you ran off with him, again!
Aura: Sounds as if you're in trouble, Lyra… (Nudges Lyra with her elbow.)
Lyra: Yeah, right! Just don't tell Dad okay, Seria?

Lyra: I'm sorry… (Goes to exit)
Carly: WAIT!
Lyra: (Turns around towards Carly) Yeah?
Carly: You're Lyra, you were a participant, right?
Lyra: Yeah? What about it!
Carly: Tell me!

Lyra: Bye Carly! (Exits)
